The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips Live Performance at The Roundhouse featuring their music
In 2013, The Flaming Lips were riding high on the success of their album "The Terror," which was released earlier that very year. This live set at the Roundhouse in London not only showcased their evolution into darker, more experimental territories but also highlighted their reputation for visually stunning performances. Interestingly, the band has a penchant for blending elaborate visuals with their sound, which makes attending one of their shows feel like stepping into a fantastical dreamscape. By this time, they were already well-known for their quirky approach to music and avant-garde album concepts, further solidifying their place as one of indie rock's most innovative acts. Fans at the Roundhouse were treated to a mix of old favorites and new tracks, reflecting the band’s eclectic journey up until that point. It was a moment that perfectly embodied their unique blend of psychedelia and emotional depth.
