Coachella has taken over the music blogosphere for the past two weeks, so it was surprising when this gem popped up from a radio station on the opposite side of the country from the desert festival. Philadelphia’s WXPN has a free concert series appropriately titled “Free At Noon,” and Atlanta-rockers Black Lips teamed up with Boy George for a gritty rock rendition of T. Rex‘s glam-rock staple “Bang a Gong (Get it On).”
Black Lips have teamed up with some seemingly random musicians in the past, but this takes the cake. Black Lips and the former Culture Club frontman jam together on stage as if this is a bunch of friends just hanging out as opposed to the bizarre spectacle that it actually is.
Both Boy George and Black Lips have new albums out.
