The Flaming Lips are a psychedelic rock band from Oklahoma. They are one of the oldest groups in the modern indie scene, and have gone through several shifts in style throughout their career. They are fronted by vocalist Wayne Coyne, and currently also feature long-time members Michael Ivins and Steven Drozd, as well as drummer Kliph Scurlock and multi-instrumentalist Derek Brown.
They are famous for their live shows, which have a large focus on visual experiences, and many compare them to psychedelic experiences moreso than simple rock performances.
