Wayne Coyne’s Record Store Tour – Round Two
After stopping by such fine cities as Nashville, Chicago and St. Louis in December, East Coast fans will get a chance to meet and greet Coyne. The routing includes New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
As previously reported, Coyne is signing copies of the Lips’ self-titled debut EP, which will be available as a limited edition 12-inch on green vinyl. Feeling hungry? The band is selling the EP inside an anatomically correct and life-sized chocolate skull that’s been hand-crafted and custom-made, just for you. Along with the EP, the chocolate skull also comes with a golden coin that will get you into any headline show by the band in the world.
The EP has been remastered by Lips bassist Michael Ivins and includes a new cover by “freak artist” Charlie Immer.
Before the Record Store Tour begins The Flaming Lips will perform at Amnesty International’s USA Human Rights Home Concert on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
You can also catch the band on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Thursday, Feb. 6 at NYC’s Ed Sullivan Theater as the guys help mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
