New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Commemorating yet another milestone memory, The
Flaming Lips will unveil a very special vinyl only concert album, Live At The Forum, London, UK Jan 22, 2003, on October 27 via Warner Records.
The vintage live collection, recorded by the BBC, was included in the 6-CD format of the 20th Anniversary
Deluxe Edition of YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS box set and will now be available on vinyl for the first time as a stand-alone release. The limited edition first-pressing of Live At The Forum is on pink vinyl.
Following the original release of the classic YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS in 2002, The
Flaming Lips visited the UK multiple times due to the critical reception of YOSHIMI and the demand for tickets. The band concluded their UK run in 2003 with a sold-out show at London's Forum Theatre on January 22, broadcast live across the country.
Live At The Forum includes "Do You Realize??" and other live standouts from YOSHIMI in addition to fan favorites "She Don't Use Jelly," "Waitin' For A Superman," and "Race For The Prize."
Formed in Oklahoma City, OK in 1983, The
Flaming Lips have since become one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable, and vital forces in American alternative rock music. The band has garnered three GRAMMY® Awards, a Tony nomination, and an RIAA Gold-certified Record for YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS.
UK's Q Magazine named them one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die." The band has made countless late night television appearances, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial, contributed to many film soundtracks, and collaborated with artists such as Miley Cyrus, Coldplay's Chris Martin, Kacey Musgraves, Yoko Ono, The Chemical Brothers, and so many more.
They have set countless records, broken records, created spectacular interactive audio/visual events now regarded as legendary. Front man Wayne Coyne has been recognized for works of art that graced many LIPS album covers along with his traveling art exhibit "The King's Mouth," an audiovisual art installation that has been featured in many contemporary art museums around the US.
Their latest LP, American Head, marks a return to a more melodic and song-oriented body of work and has critically been lauded as their best work in years placing on several Year End/Best Of lists around the world.
Evan after a combination of 22 studio recordings, 16 singles, 11 compilations, 11 EP's and 11 self-released experimental collaborative oddities released in various forms, quantities and unique mediums, The
Flaming Lips remain in a creative apex that has no bounds. To that end, they have become an American Treasure and created a genre all to themselves.
