The Flaming Lips perform in bubbles for people watching in bubbles. This is the Flaming Lips when they were fresh on the college indie scene in the early 1990’s. This is what they are looking like a few decades and many awesome albums later… The band has grown a rightfully earned reputation as one of the most magical and imaginative live acts around. A typical Flaming Lips show, if there is such a thing, can include a wide array of accessories like balloons, people in animal costumes, extravagant lightshows, and any number of surprises. And of course, an extensive catalog of thoughtful, indie rock masterpieces.
