The Flaming Lips Details

In the eclectic world of alternative rock few bands have been as brave or as frequently brilliant and deliciously weird as the Grammy award winning band, The Flaming Lips. They are a pop culture phenomenon and one of the most respected groups of this century. An acid-bubblegum band with as much affinity for sweet melodies as blistering noise assaults, their off-kilter sound, uncommon emotional depth, and bizarre history firmly establishes them as true originals. Their taste for eccentric performances has become the stuff of legend. Over their storied 28-year career, the group has incorporated everything from colorful animal costumes to confetti cannons, giant laser hands and human-sized plastic bubbles into its live shows.
