Bio
The Flaming Lips est un groupe de rock alternatif américain, originaire d'Oklahoma City, dans l'État de l'Oklahoma. Formé en 1983 , le groupe est réputé pour ses arrangements psychédéliques, ses paroles délirantes, toutefois parfois graves (ainsi, The Sound of Failure qui raconte les états d'âmes d'une adolescente dont un ami vient de se suicider), ses titres de chansons surréalistes (par exemple Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus With Needles : Explorations psychiatriques du fœtus avec des aiguilles), et enfin pour la qualité de ses concerts, où Wayne Coyne, le chanteur, a coutume d'apparaître à l'intérieur d'une bulle en plastique géante, et de « marcher » sur le public.
Le magazine britannique Q l'élit parmi les 50 groupes à voir sur scène avant de mourir. Leurs spectacles mêlent un impressionnant jeu de lumière à des projections vidéos, avec la participation de marionnettes et de déguisements. Les Flaming Lips comptent plusieurs albums sur des labels indépendants, avant de signer avec Warner Records. Ils ont obtenu leur unique tube américain en 1993 avec She Don't Use Jelly, et sont depuis régulièrement salués par la critique, malgré un succès commercial assez modeste jusqu'à l'album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots de 2002, qui a marqué une relative percée commerciale.

The Flaming Lips are an American psychedelic rock band formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The band currently consists of Wayne Coyne (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards), Derek Brown (keyboards, guitars, percussion), Matt Duckworth Kirksey (drums, percussion, keyboards), AJ Slaughter (guitar, keyboards, pedal steel) and Tommy McKenzie (bass). Coyne is the only remaining founding member following the departure of bassist and keyboardist Michael Ivins in 2021. From 1991 to 2024, Steven Drozd played a crucial role in the band as co-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
The band started out playing garage punk and noise pop, before branching into more psychedelic and experimental territory. They recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label, Restless, in the 1980s and early 1990s. After signing to Warner Brothers they released Hit to Death in the Future Head (1992), followed by Transmissions from the Satellite Heart (1993) and the hit single "She Don't Use Jelly" which broke the band into the mainstream. They later released The Soft Bulletin (1999), which was NME magazine's Album of the Year, followed by the critically acclaimed Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002). In February 2007, they were nominated for a BRIT Award for "Best International Act". The group has won three Grammy Awards, including two for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. They were placed on Q magazine's list of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die" in 2002.
