Also Prep for LSAT
Whether through headphone concerts, insane pyrotechnics, giant mirror balls or explosions of confetti, the Flaming Lips are famous for redefining the live music experience. And now, for their September 15 show at the Oklahoma City Zoo Amphitheater, the band is upping the ante by unveiling a giant UFO that will descend upon the stage amid noises, flashing lights, and (no doubt) enthusiastic applause.
Paging George Clinton!
A brief video clip of the UFO's test run can be viewed here.
Footage from the Oklahoma City Zoo show will be paired with a recording of the Lips' July 23 performance at the Hollywood Bowl on the band's first-ever live CD/DVD, tentatively due out in the first part of 2007, according to Billboard.com.
Billboard also reports that the Lips have recorded an alternate version of "Free Radicals" to be included in the next Sims video game. It features Wayne singing the lyrics in the Sims language. Because the song just wasn't trippy enough to begin with.
