The Sick Lipstick was a lo-fi, no-fi, noise rock band from Canada. The act was started by Lindsay Gillard & Mark McLean after the demise of their previous band Black Cat#13 which featured Jesse Keeler (pre Death From Above 1979 & MSTRKRFT). The original lineup was baby voiced Lindsay on vocals & Mark on everything else. Later they were joined by Dennis Amos. They released a handful of vinyl only releases on Three One G, Sound Virus, Deleted Art & 5RC but still gathered a pretty large following due to the popularity of Black Cat#13.
I saw them on their tour with An Albatross & xbxrx back in the day & even though An Albatross (who was headlining) didn’t show due to van troubles no one in the crowd was upset because TSL put on a hell of a performance. Too bad the band bit the dust after their 1st and only full length in 2003.
