When the Virgin Music Festival was announced a few months ago naturally I was only stoked to see that The Flaming Lips were coming to Calgary. The festival was held in the beautiful historic Fort Calgary. The show has honestly changed my life. It was almost like the dream I dream every night. So familiar. The introduction was magical… this is how it went down in my mind. They intro the music. The beautiful and electric Wayne Coyne comes out on stage in a giant bubble and walks onto the crowd as they are lifting him from their feeble arms. Suddenly 15 medium sized balloons are released into the air like beach balls flying but going so much slower of a pace. Giant cannons shoot out yellow and orange confetti creating a sea of magical energy. Than all of a sudden when you think you’ve seen it all a group of 37 Teletubies come dancing onto the stage. That has got to be the best introduction I have ever seen of a band.
Just the perfect way to celebrate the Summer Solstice! Thank you Lips *MELNCOLY LOVES YOU!
Luckily for you I captured my favorite song of theirs with my camera. Here is the song YOSHIMI Battles The Pink Robots… enjoy.
love from *melncoly
