Video: Dwelling Spaces in Tulsa hosts baby shower for Flaming Lips gummy fetus
Oklahoma City-based psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips have been even more experimental than usual in 2011, which is really saying something. Frontman Wayne Coyne and a couple of pals have opened a colorful new art gallery called The Womb in Oklahoma City, and Lips have recorded a plethora a new music that they haven’t released on traditional albums but rather on limited edition EPs, iPhone playback and USB drives hidden inside gummy skulls and now inside gummy fetuses.
In honor of the gummy bundles of musical joy, Dwelling Spaces in Tulsa hosted a baby shower for a Flaming Lips gummy fetus that, of course, ended with everyone gnawing off a hunk of cherry-flavored gummy candy off the faux infant until they could get to the prize inside. The jump drive includes three new songs, “Enthusiasm For Life Defeats Existential Fear Part 2,” “Steven’s Moonbow” and “Squishy Glass.”
The Lips will be in Tulsa Saturday when they headline the inaugural Brady District Block Party. The event will feature special guest Primus, along with bands Mutemath, Civil Twilight, AWOLnation, Solid Gold, Particle, That 1 Guy, The Pretty Black Chains. For tickets and information, go to www.bradyblockparty.com. The block party is scheduled from noon to 11:30 p.m. Saturday at the corner of Boulder and Cameron in downtown Tulsa.
Coyne recently chatted with The Oklahoman’s Gene Triplett about the Brady District Block Party and the band’s especially adventuresome year. To read the interview, click here.
Also, the grand opening of The Womb, 9th and Broadway in Automobile Alley, is set for 7 tonight.
Coyne won’t be at the opening because he is on tour, but he said he has invited several famous people to attend tonight’s soiree. And he said patrons might even be treated to a special arrival from Edmond’s freestyle BMX star Mat Hoffman via his flying jet pack.
