American psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips have announced dates for their latest tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their classic album ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots’.
Formed in Oklahoma City in 1983, The Flaming Lips have since become one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable, and vital forces in American alternative rock music. ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots‘ gave the band their first RIAA certified Gold Record. As the eagerly awaited follow-up to 1999’s masterwork, ‘The Soft Bulletin‘, Yoshimi proved that singer/guitarist Wayne Coyne, and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd had yet another masterpiece in them.
‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots‘ is a sci-fi-themed quasi-concept album that cast The Flaming Lips’ most playful and profound songs to date in a wondrous swirl of ambient electronics, digital beats, and psychedelic splendor.
