Strapped in? The gloriously zany psychedelic, bliss-out band to end all bands is coming to Australia to mesmerise and thrill us all once again! Harvest is proud to present The Flaming Lips as one of the festival's headline artists - and now - we're excited to announce their Australian theatre sideshow in Melbourne and Adelaide. Tickets won't last so get yours fast!
The Flaming Lips are known for their melodic, lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, but lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles - such as "Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles" and "Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber)".
The band's elaborate live shows are stuff of legend - featuring costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne's signature man-sized plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience. In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die".
From their joyful and fuzzy outings in the 1980s, to signing with Warner Brothers ahead of their first major hit song in 1993 "She Don't Use Jelly" - through to critical and commercial success with albums like 1999's 'The Soft Bulletin' (NME magazine's Album of the Year) and 2002's 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' (containing the blissful "Do You Realise", The Flaming Lips remain a uniquely enticing band.
By 2007, the group scored three Grammy Awards, including two for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. The latest releases from The Flaming Lips include 2009 studio album, 'Embryonic' and their interpretation of the entire Pink Floyd classic 'The Dark Side Of The Moon'!
'Embryonic' which was the band's first album to open in the Billboard Top 10, gathered much critical acclaim once again, with Uncut saying the music is "as exciting as anything produced by the psych rock underground this year", while Mojo Magazine called it, "fine, dazzlingly outlandish music (that) is fresh and utterly fearless." See you front and centre!
