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. 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 countless iconic film soundtracks, and collaborated with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Chris Martin, Kacey Musgraves, Yoko Ono, Tame Impala, and many more. They have set countless records, broken world records, created spectacular interactive audio/visual events now regarded as legendary.
Even 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.
