[edit] Band Biography

When the Flaming Lips started, they were a more experimental Avant-Rock group, with lots of interest in punk and noise and Noise Rock music. They built up a following, which lead to them being signed by the major label Warner Brothers, where they had a hit with "She Don't Use Jelly". After that album, they changed direction to a more lush, though still experimental form of music, influenced by psychedelia of the 1960s, which solidified their following and critical acclaim. They are putting a new record out shortly.
