Champions of the Psychedelic Alt-Rock scene, they first came to major prominence in 1999 with the stunning album “The Soft Bulletin”, a collection of melodically catchy, lyrically quirky and beautifully orchestrated tracks that caught the imagination of the music loving world.

Follow up “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” continued the band’s ascendance, garnering huge critical acclaim and an ever growing fan base, culminating in 2002 with a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance, before 2006’s “At War With Mystics” (actually their 11th album) became their most successful release thus far.

October 2009 saw the release of their mammoth 18 track new album, “Embryonic”, their most challenging work to date, it’s a dizzyingly ambitious record filled with epic freeform jams that have been compared to the sound of early 70s Miles Davis playing the work of Yes, which might be a little disconcerting in any other band’s hands but is no less than we would expect from a group that have never played by the rules and always pushed their sound forward.

For all their recorded wonderment though, it’s as a live act that The Flaming Lips really come into their own, producing a legendary live show involving UFO’s, Giant Hands, a stage full of animal suited lunacy and in Wayne Coyne one of the most enigmatic front men around today.

It’s no surprise then that the Flaming Lips were at the very top of the list of bands that Untitled Entertainment wanted to bring to Asia. This is going to be an audio visual spectacular showcasing the Flaming Lips at their very best. An unforgettable evening.
