The Flaming Lips

In May 2013, The Flaming Lips were riding high on the wave of their vibrant, experimental sound, having released their album "The Terror" just a month earlier. This album marked a bit of a departure for the band, as it delved into darker themes while showcasing their signature psychedelic flair. Performing at the Brighton Dome on May 22, the band delivered a haunting rendition of David Bowie's "Heroes," a truly emotional homage that reflects their innovative spirit. Interestingly, the Flaming Lips are known for their elaborate live performances, often featuring eye-popping visuals and theatrical elements that elevate their music to a multi-sensory experience. This cover not only demonstrated their deep respect for Bowie but also highlighted their ability to reinterpret classics with a fresh perspective, seamlessly weaving in their unique soundscape.
