Speaking of Black Lips, frontman Cole Alexander will be DJing a party thrown by Andy Animal and Sailor Jerry at Williamsburg’s Black Bear Bar on Sunday (7/26). There will be live performances from Daddy Long Legs, Bloodshot Bill, Birdcloud, Apache, and Alana Amram & the Rough Jems. That show is $12 at the door and the party’s flyer is below.
