Flaming Lips Tour Hits the Northwest

Flaming Lips (with Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti)

Whether you like their music or not, the Flaming Lips are one of the most entertaining live acts out there. Inflatable super heroes, dancing teletubbies, confetti, streamers, beach balls, kung fu movies, naked women, and human hamster balls are just a few of the gimmicks you can expect.

Even if you don't particularly like concerts, a Flaming Lips live show is something everyone should experience before death. You don't even have to be on drugs to appreciate it, although I've heard it doesn't hurt. As an added bonus, we are a couple years away from the next election, so you won't have to put up with a three minute political speech after every other song.

Unfortunately, they are skipping Portland on this tour, and the Eugene Chamber of Commerce thanks them for it. Gas up the old hog, and start saving up for a sketchy motel, because it's time for a road trip.
