THE FLAMING LIPS TOUR 2017 MAC

Fresh off of releasing their 14th studio album, Oczy Mlody, an album that has sort of reinvented the bands sound while mixing in the usual psychedelic twists. Witnessing a Flaming Lips show in person is honestly a one of a kind and incredible experience that gets better and better each time they come to town.

Followed by the headlining performance at Rock the Garden 2016 to tonight’s “There Should Be Unicorns” tour performance. The Twin Cities have been fortunate enough to see The Flaming Lips five times over the last four years including the three First Avenue appearances as promised by front man, Wayne Coyne in 2014 and early 2015. He ended his set by kissing all of his band members followed by stage diving and crowd surfing with his socks off. The crowd enthusiastically sang along all set but he was able to display both of his styles (off the wall/weird/unique) during the song Salad Days and serious/grown up during My Kind Of Woman as he told jokes and swigged sips from a can of Miller Lite in between songs during his terrific set that included a brief mix of covers by Led Zeppelin ( Stairway To Heaven) Red Hot Chili Peppers ( Californiacation) and Vanessa Carlton ( 1,000 Miles). He last visited the Twin Cities 4 years ago and he made sure to make up for not coming back sooner. But don’t be fooled by his humble charm because he is a brilliant musician that actually sounds focused and sings in languid, unadorned tones over trip, unique and out of the norm guitar riffs. The 27 year old has always worn his talent in a nonchalant, happy go lucky way. The LA singer/songwriter who just released his third album, This Old Dog, which is by far his most put together and serious album to date.

Tickets for all this manifest-destiny shit are on sale now (except the L.A. After taking a few days of R&R over the new year following their current run of Europe and the UK, starting in February, they’ll be back at it, trekking out across the US for a tour that kinda, pretty much covers it all: there’s a triumphant headline run, then a direct-support slot jaunt with The Flaming Lips, and even a festival appearance (at next year’s Noise Pop) thrown in the middle for good measure. for taking 2017 off.īut seeing as how MC Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes are as freakin’ NONSTOP as Alexander Hamilton was, they aren’t slowing down a bit heading into the new year. After spending 2016 primarily making Thomas Jefferson seem cool-as-shit, cranking out “Afrofuturist, dystopian concept albums” like Spelndor & Misery and bonus EPs like Wriggle, and even jamming with Conan O’brien, you could probably forgive L.A.-based experimental rap collective clipping.
