The Flaming Lips are an American psychedelic rock band formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City, OK, USA. The band currently consists of Wayne Coyne (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Steven Drozd (guitars, keyboards, bass, vocals), Derek Brown (keyboards, guitars, percussion), Matt Duckworth Kirksey (drums, percussion, keyboards) and Nicholas Ley (percussion, drums).

With a career spanning over three decades and numerous critically acclaimed albums under their belt, The Flaming Lips have become one of the most influential and innovative bands in the alternative music scene. Known for their experimental soundscapes and eccentric stage performances that often include elaborate costumes and props.

Their unique blend of psychedelic rock with elements of pop and electronic music has garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide. From their early releases like "The Soft Bulletin" to more recent albums such as "Oczy Mlody," The Flaming Lips continue to push boundaries and defy expectations with their boundary-pushing music.

the norman, oklahoma, quartet makes modern rock that doesn't sound like anyone else; head music, they'd have called it in psychedelia's heyday, weird soundscapes that conjure the bizarre alternate universe on the other side of the funhouse mirror. transmissions, their second major-label release after a long indie apprenticeship has a mellower feel than early fans might expect, with lots of acoustic guitar and dreamy interludes to shame more-era pink floyd, but it's no less weird than their last two efforts. strange sounds float in and out of the mix, and wayne coyne's twisted hick vocals are convincingly demented. coyne's lyrics tend toward a dadaist stream of consciousness with occasional forays into junk culture; this is familiar modern rock territory, but songs such as "she don't use jelly," "chewin the apple of your eye," and "be my head" are more effective and less annoying than the would-be gonzo efforts of frank black and sonic youth because they're catchier and less pretentious. the flaming lips may be transmitting to the satellites, but when all is said and done, they live in oklahoma.
