This Independence Day, Des Moines will welcome what appears to be Lollapalooza's Midwestern baby sister at Iowa's own inaugural summer music festival 80/35. In addition to Iowa localites, the fest will feature the Flaming Lips, The Roots, Yonder Mountain String Band, Drive-By Truckers and Girl Talk on July 4 and 5. And in case you were wondering, 80/35 stands for the juncture of Interstates 80 and 35 in downtown Iowa in Western Gateway Park. As one Iowan MySpace user puts it, "I pooped a little when I heard the Lips were coming to town!" There you have it,... read more
Found in: Music, NewsFlaming Lips prepare to lead hometown Halloween parade
There's many a Flaming Lips fan out there who would gladly follow the group to the depths of Hades. Well, now a lucky 1,000 supporters will get that chance - or a close approximation, at least. As we first discovered about a month ago, Wayne Coyne and his co-conspirators Steven Drozd and Michael Ivins will lead The March of a Thousand Flaming Skeletons through the streets of Oklahoma City on Oct. 27. But the band needs extras to fill out the planned legion of ghoulies. Interested participants need only pony up $25 and be on hand for the festivities, where... read more

Blasting off Sept. 14 with a lineup of over 50 different bands performing around the clock for two straight days and nights, the Monolith Festival in Colorado promises to be a righteous undertaking. Slathered with talent like garlic aioli on a hamburger patty (it's almost lunchtime), the roster includes some of Paste's favorites - Oklahoma City eclectics The Flaming Lips, prosaic prophets The Decemberists and the brothers Followill of Kings of Leon. The whole thing kicks off tomorrow night at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a geologically formed, open-air masterpiece of a venue. It's arguably one of the best places... read more

The Flaming Lips kick off a series of North American shows tonight in Chicago (dates below). And within the confines of a news section where tour dates are listed relentlessly, dozens at a time, day after day, the Oklahoma band's schedule this time out looks rather meager. But you'd be incorrect to think Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd and Michael Ivins are anything but busy. Between contributing songs to multiple films, planning their own movie, preparing for the 10th anniversary of their most unique album and hosting a Halloween parade, the Fearless Freaks don't actually have time to be afraid. Coyne... read more

Red Rocks isn't just the place for your perpetually-stoned cousin to catch the Widespread Panic/Bob Weir/moe. triple threat hippiethon anymore. In fact, just today the inaugural Monolith festival, which will be held on September 14 and 15, announced its initial line-up. Presented by Esurance, Monolith is the first ever multi-day, multi-stage festival to grace the legendary stage of the Morrison, Colo. venue. With such a distinction, you've got to bring the noise.
