  Untitled Entertainment presents…

  THE FLAMING LIPS Live in Hong Kong!

  
  

  

  If there’s one band that personifies just how mind-blowingly awesome a live show can be at its most wondrous, the Flaming Lips would be that band.
  …
  Champions of the Psychedelic Alt-Rock scene, they first came to major prominence in 1999 with the stunning album “The Soft Bulletin”, a collection of melodically catchy, lyrically quirky and beautifully orchestrated tracks that caught the imagination of the music loving world.

  Follow up “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” continued the band’s ascendance, garnering huge critical acclaim and an ever growing fan base, culminating in 2002 with a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance, before 2006’s “At War With Mystics” (actually their 11th album) became their most successful release thus far.

  October 2009 saw the release of their mammoth 18 track new album, “Embryonic”, their most challenging work to date, it’s a dizzyingly ambitious record filled with epic freeform jams that have been compared to the sound of early 70s Miles Davis playing the work of Yes, which might be a little disconcerting in any other band’s hands but is no less than we would expect from a group that have never played by the rules and always pushed their sound forward.

  For all their recorded wonderment though, it’s as a live act that The Flaming Lips really come into their own, producing a legendary live show involving UFO’s, Giant Hands, a stage full of animal suited lunacy and in Wayne Coyne one of the most enigmatic front men around today.

  It’s no surprise then that the Flaming Lips were at the very top of the list of bands that Untitled Entertainment wanted to bring to Asia. This is going to be an audio visual spectacular showcasing the Flaming Lips at their very best. An unforgettable evening.

  八十年代掘起的Psychedelic Rock 的殿堂級樂隊，The Flaming Lips 其中一張被全球樂迷奉為搖滾經典的成名作”The Soft Bulletin”，於1999年夏天成為樂隊一個轉捩點，大碟歌曲中印記式的節奏性和搖滾主調，帶點扭曲的弦樂的宏大氣魄，從此為The Lips 確立了一個鮮明、受膜拜的形象。其後唱片更於Robert Dimery 2006年著作 <1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die> 榜上有名，可見此跨世紀唱片的代表性。

  2002年，同樣獲得廣大樂評傳媒追捧的”Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”促使樂隊名成利就，大碟歌曲”Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)” 更獲得2002格林美獎 最佳搖滾器樂演奏，音樂事業更上一層樓。

  2009年樂隊推出一張甚具野心的雙碟唱片 “ Embryonic” ，有別於樂隊前期作品，除了恆常的迷幻搖滾原素, 大碟還散漫著點點奇幻性的寓言性的多元，當中更與MGMT 及Yeahyeahyeahs 主音Karen O合作了三首破格作品 (I Can Be a Frog, Worm Mountain 及Watching the Planets) ， 可見The Lips 處理及塑造自身風格愈來愈得心應手。

  The Flaming Lips 的現場演出令人神倒，多年來於世界各地有過無數令人畢生難忘的演出， UFO、巨形手掌、雷射激光視覺效果，加上樂隊全情投入的熱情併勁及爆炸力，2010年這支超級樂隊首馭香江的大型演出為樂壇年度重頭戲碼，本地樂迷絕對 不容錯過，Untitled Entertainment 誠邀您同渡令人畢生難忘的一夜。
