About The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips are an American rock band, formed in Norman, Oklahoma in 1983.

They are also known for their elaborate live show, which features costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti and frontman Wayne Coyne’s signature man-size plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience.
