    surprising how u guys havent heard of 'em...they're more of psychedelic rock ...

    heres lil more bout them...

    Record an album. Tour to support it. Repeat. After more than a decade of making eccentric indie rock, the Flaming Lips decided to challenge the notion of what albums and concerts could be. "Not because it needs to be done," frontman Wayne Coyne says. "Just out of curiosity."
    So the Lips remastered their previous album in DVD-Audio and Dolby 5.1 Surround and took the music to the next dimension. Remixed to flow out of six speakers, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots 5.1 envelops the listener in a cocoon of warm, sweeping psychedelia so perfectly realized that it's hard to imagine it wasn't recorded that way in the first place. (The new Yoshimi also includes an extra disc of outtakes and brilliantly imaginative videos.)

    The band has been throwing curveballs at fans for years: The 1997 release Zaireeka, for instance, consists of four CDs meant to be played on four different stereos simultaneously. But in the past year the Lips also transformed their already mesmerizing performances into celebrations complete with balloons, confetti, and fans dancing onstage in fuzzy animal costumes provided by the band. (Disclosure: I was a bunny at New York's Roseland Ballroom in early 2003.) To top it off, they released two EPs with remixes that take their tripped-out rock for a spin on the dance floor.

    And this blurry, Technicolor revision of rock is actually attracting more fans. "We're a band that makes whatever music we want and presents it to an audience any way we want," Coyne says. "People think when you go up there with balloons and animal costumes, that's not rock 'n' roll." He pauses. "But rock 'n' roll can do all this." - Robert Levine
