Maho Rasop Festival co-founder HAVE YOU HEARD? returns with its first live concert of the year with American garage rockers Black Lips at #HYHBKK Live! on March 18 at DECOMMUNE, Phra Nakhon.

The self-proclaimed "flower punk" band from Atlanta, Georgia, is known for their retro garage rock-and-roll sound, irreverent sense of humour and wild on-stage antics and other no-good-nik-ness. This will be Black Lips' second show back in Bangkok city since playing at the Nakarin Theater in 2011.

Formed in 1999, their self-titled debut album was released in 2003, following which their fan base grew with the release of 2004's We Did Not Know The Spirit Made The Flowers Grow. The band's 2007 effort, Good Bad Not Evil, propelled them onto TV screens on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2013, they added secret weapon Zumi Rosow who was later joined by Oakley Munson on drums and guitarist Jeff Clarke.

The latest tour comes in support of Black Lips' 10th album, Apocalypse Love, which arrived in October via Fire Records. It was followed last month by a deluxe reissue of their fourth album Good Bad Not Evil, released in celebration of its 15th anniversary.

#HYHBKK Live! With Black Lips will be held on March 18, At DECOMMUNE, 469 Phra Sumen Road, Bangkok. The show starts from 7.30pm onwards. Early bird tickets are 1,300 baht, and a regular ticket is 1,500 baht, available now at ticketmelon.com.
