Flaming Lips @ Webster Hall 3/31 and 4/1

The good folks at Brooklyn Vegan have tipped that the Flaming Lips will be visiting our fair city to share a little bit of their quality midwestern acid. Tickets on sale tomorrow, Wednesday 3/1, at noon via Ticketweb.

Bowery Presents @ WEBSTER HALL
Two Very Special Nights With:
THE FLAMING LIPS
(with Pink Mountaintops)
March 31 (Fri) & April 1 (Sat) / 6:30pm doors
$35 advance - $40 day of show / 18+

And speaking of the Pink Mountaintops, why does every band right now either have the word "wolf" (Wolf Parade, Wolf Eyes, Wolfmother), or "mountain" (Pink Mountaintops, Black Mountain, Mountain Goats, Nine Black Alps [err, you get the idea]) in their name? Where did the originality in indie rock go?

Oh, that's right, it died right around the time Pavement put out Terror Twilight. My bad.

PS: For those of you planning on joining me at one of these shows, I'm leaning toward the Saturday show. This may literally be the 18th concert scheduled during the my trial (let alone that I have to cancel my SXSW trip). May 1st can't come soon enough.
