Flaming Lips tour dates for November
July 26th, 2006
"The music is as inventive as ever, huge multi-layered productions retaining the pop heart that has resulted in The Lips’ belated appeal. It is every bit as good as its big-selling predecessor" - Evening Standard
"A peerless smorgasbord of brain-bending sonic delicacies, food for thought and spiritual succour" - Mojo
"The Flaming Lips are the first big band to make emotional and intelligent technoid pop - the first big band to be, you know, good - since New Order… they’ve done it: three astonishing records in a row" - Uncut

Fresh from achieving their biggest hit to date with the #16 single ‘The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song’, The Flaming Lips will release ‘The W.A.N.D.’ on July 17th as the second single to be taken from their widely praised album ‘At War With The Mystics’ that debuted at #6 on the album charts. One of the heavier and more vehement moments of the ‘At War With The Mystics’ set, ‘The W.A.N.D’ was described by the band’s charismatic vocalist Wayne Coyne as being, "like Black Sabbath getting mashed up with Sly and the Family Stone or Stevie Wonder".
