The Flaming Lips at SummerStage – tix on sale this Friday!

The Flaming Lips to perform Central Park SummerStage benefit on 7/26

 

SummerStage 2010 is going to be one for the record books for sure.  While the FREE season of Central Park SummerStage won’t be announced until sometime in May, benefit concerts, which support the free programs at Central Park SummerStage are beginning to trickle out.  We’re super excited to welcome The Flaming Lips from Oklahoma City, OK to the park on Monday, July 26.  These iconic rockers have been cranking out some of the most wonderfully weird music out there and their live shows are the stuff of legends.  I hope Coyne & Co. bring their giant man-sized bubble with them.  Or maybe they’ll surprise us with something even more kooky.  Long ago, the writer of this post was fortunate enough to dress up in a furry/sweaty/smelly unicorn costume at the Beacon Theatre and shake it on stage with the Lips.   That experience still holds as one of the most memorable shows for me.  Oh, and if you haven’t picked up their latest, Embryonic, put it on your list now.  It’s a deliciously frenzied sonic masterpiece.
