The Flaming Lips at the Troxy

The Flaming Lips at the Troxy, originally uploaded by jellybeanz.
The last time I saw the Flaming Lips was in 2002. Since then their albums have never quite reached the greatness of The Soft Bulletin and for the last few years they’ve dropped off my listening lists entirely. It was lucky that the Flaming Lips played a set mixed up of the great older songs, and newer material that was bearable.
However, as everyone knows, Flaming Lips shows aren’t just about the songs, but about the overall experience. Even on a cold Tuesday night, after some encouragement by the stage crew, they got everyone clapping and singing along. With balloons, confetti, everything turned up to max (but no singing puppets or fake blood), this is possibly the best party you could have on a Tuesday night.
