Saw them in ATL one of the best show ever. Steve from Blues Clues worked with Dave Friedmann and the Lips on his solo album so you're not that far off...
I saw them at Wakarusa and ehh....they were ok. Before that I was a huge Flaming Lips fan but wonce I saw them live they kind of let me down, it was dissapointing. The lead singer talks waaaaayyyyyy too much in between songs and every single show is the same. So i dont know, I have mixed feelings about the guys now....
