The Flaming Lips

On May 21, 2013, The Flaming Lips delivered a memorable performance at the iconic Roundhouse in London, right around the time they were promoting their album 'The Terror,' which was released just a month earlier. This atmospheric album marked a significant shift in their sound, characterized by a darker tone compared to their previous works. Notably, 'The Terror' showcases their experimental edge with themes of despair and existentialism, all wrapped in their signature psychedelic flair. The show also reflected the band's commitment to pushing boundaries; they’re known for their extravagant live productions, often featuring elaborate visuals and confetti explosions. It's fascinating to think about how, at this stage, The Flaming Lips were continuing to redefine their identity while connecting deeply with fans through live performances that blend art and music in the most vibrant ways.
