Lip Critic

Lip Critic is an experimental music project whose work operates at the outer edges of what pop and rock song structures can absorb — a project that seems interested in testing genre conventions rather than inhabiting them. Their live set has a reputation for being physically committed and sonically dense in a way that doesn't translate to any simple description, which is the kind of endorsement that tends to bring exactly the right audience to a show.

The Masquerade on June 20 is the natural environment for this kind of act: a venue with decades of history booking exactly the kind of music that doesn't fit anywhere else. June 20.
