Midlake: on a Flaming Lips trip

midlake and the flaming lips

Bella Union's quite, quite excellent Midlake have been hand-picked by The Flaming Lips to act as tour support on the latter act's forthcoming European jaunt.

The bands - pictured - met at South By South West last month. So impressed was Lips mainman Wayne Coyne that he extended an invitation to support them in San Francisco a few weeks later. Things, they went from there.

DATES!

April
27 Amsterdam Paradiso
28 Paris Bataclan

May
2 Stockholm Cirkus
3 Copenhagen Tivoli Gardens
4 Hamburg Markethall

Midlake's second long-player, The Trials Of Van Occupanther, is out in June. We've heard it, it's good. The Flaming Lips' At War With The Mystics is in all good stores now. We've heard it, we're still all messed up in the head...

The Flaming Lips Midlake

yay for midlake!

Not a fan

of the new album. I don't like the lyrics and it's goes on too long. When it is good it is like being drowned in colouful sugary liquids.
Which may appeal to some.
Still excited about the shows though.

Midlake

I was quite taken by Midlake's 'Balloon Maker' on the SXSW DiS podcast. I've since picked up Bamnan and Silvercork, it's fantastic: highly recommended.
