Throughout their career, band members have come and gone, but currently The Flaming Lips consist of original members Wayne Coyne (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Michael Ivins (bass, keyboards, backing vocals), along with members Steven Drozd (drums, guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), and Derek Brown (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals). Former members include Mark Coyne (lead vocals), Richard English (drums, keyboards, backing vocals), Nathan Roberts (drums), Jonathan Donahue (guitar, backing vocals), who went on to form Mercury Rev, Ronald Jones (guitar, backing vocals), and Kliph Scurlock (drums).
The Flaming Lips are known for their lush, multi-layered arrangements, spacey lyrics and bizarre song titles. They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which typically feature animal suits, puppets, streamers, video projections and complex stage light configurations.
In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die". In 2006, Oklahoma City named a street Flaming Lips Alley in their honor.
The group recorded several albums and EPs for Restless Records in the 1980s and early 1990s. After signing to Warner Brothers, they scored a #9 hit on the Billboard Alternative charts (and #55 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart) in 1994 with "She Don't Use Jelly". Although it would be their only hit single, the band has maintained critical respect and, to a lesser extent, commercial viability with sonically majestic albums such as 1995's Clouds Taste Metallic, 1999's The Soft Bulletin, 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and 2006's At War with the Mystics. The Flaming Lips' 12th studio album, Embryonic, was released in October of 2009. A complete cover of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon was released in May 2010. The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends, their collaborative album which features artists like Ke$ha, Bon Iver, Nick Cave and Erykah Badu, was released on Record Store Day, April 2012.
Their next studio album, tentatively titled The Terror, will be released in January 2013.
Their song "Do You Realize??" is the official State Rock Song of Oklahoma.

the album is just gorgeous, i like/love (depends, can't say that i blindly worship every album they've put out) every era they've taken during 2000s and 2010s and while "embryonic" and "the terror" were amazing, intense and experimental journeys i kinda needed something like this! "king's mouth" last year almost had it but it was a bit too chaotic, unfinished, hermetic! these songs are tender, blissful, big and urgent, yet so laid back and like a wondering testament of living in today, now! it may sound cheesy to say that but i feel that's what the music and lyrics put together are doing on this one. and a cool move, releasing it on this particular friday ahaha, called "AMERICAN HEAD" - always tricky, always moving and changing, goofy yet undeniably human and loving - the flaming lips!
lots of favorite songs, should be a colorful weekend with these songs on rotation! β€β€β€β€

Reminiscent of the Great Gig in the Sky on so many levels for me. Great song.

After this masterpiece of a record I'm kind of hoping for a Lips-produced Kacey Musgraves albumm

After hearing what they did with Miley I would have to agree with you.

The Flaming Lips placed this last night at the 4/20 bubble show. It put me in a trance! Wayne was swinging his light around like a cowboy, and as always it brought me tears of joy!
