The Flaming Lips Live at the Anthem Performing It's Summertime
On May 25, 2023, The Flaming Lips delivered an electrifying performance of ‘It’s Summertime’ at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. This show came shortly after the release of their album ‘American Head’ in 2020, which marked a return to their deeply personal and poignant songwriting style. Known for their experimental sound and vibrant live shows, the band still captures the magic of their early days, blending that with their evolved artistry. Interestingly, their ability to create a psychedelic atmosphere translates beautifully to live settings, making every performance a unique experience. The band, led by Wayne Coyne, often ventures into themes of love, nostalgia, and existential musings, and this performance was no different, drawing fans into a whimsical yet reflective celebration of summer.
