Secret Sounds presents the much-anticipated return of The Flaming Lips. Last seen in Australia at the 2004 Big Day Out, the psychedelic alt-rock gods are coming once again to infuse Aussies with wacky mind bending euphoria. The Flaming Lips don't just put on a concert - they stage a psychedelic spectacular. The concert tour is to coincide with their new album, due to be releases in June.
Formed in 1983 and led since 1985 by singer/songwriter Wayne Coyne, The Flaming Lips recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label in the 1980s and early 1990s, after which they signed to Warner Brothers scoring a hit with 1993's ‘She Don't Use Jelly'.
Throughout the band's long history they have had numerous line-up changes (Wayne's brother Mark Coyne was originally lead singer) and a sound that shifted from punk rock to symphonic, tripped out melodies with lush arrangements. Through this all The Flaming Lips have retained their darling status via 1999's critically acclaimed The Soft Bulletin (which was NME Magazine's Album of the Year) and 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. In fact, their career has been nothing short of prolific with the release of 12 full-length albums containing glorious noise.
