It’s been 20 years since American rockers The Flaming Lips released their ninth studio album The Soft Bulletin, and now they’re heading to Australia to. Its time to celebrate two decades of the one-of-a-kind aural hallucination that is The Soft Bulletin. Faced with the challenge of performing a beloved but deeply melancholic album on a happy occasion (at least for those who got tickets!), the Flaming Lips struck an ideal balance. The Flaming Lips announce Soft Bulletin anniversary show. The group generated quite a lot of buzz for themselves recently thanks to their innovative Space Bubble Concerts. Last night's show never got better than those first few minutes of raining colored paper, balloons bouncing overhead, and the thundering optimism of The Soft Bulletin's first track. The Flaming Lips have an official date for their return to the live stage, thanks to the confirmation of their 2021-22 world tour. That bendy little melody - humble, a little wounded, but hopeful - washed over the room Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne grinningly bashed his baton into anything nearby and the 20th Anniversary of the Noise Pop festival, San Francisco's best showcase of independent music, began in ecstasy. It erupted into being, like some tantric climax: A perfect, immaculate feeling rushing the blue-blackness inside Bimbo's into a hurricane of confetti and a bright carnival of colored light. “Race for the Prize,” preceded as it was by a long, tension-building wash of piano and noise, did not start like a mere song. Better than: Any other Flaming Lips show.
