THE FLAMING LIPS

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
THURSDAY, JUNE 88:30pm | Doors open 7:00pm

In response to the air quality affecting the city, Kings will be getting people in quicker at doors (now 7:00 PM. Exterior theatre doors will open at 6:00 PM) before the show (8:30 PM) to reduce exposure outside. Once inside, air purifiers are running throughout the building that have just been refreshed.

 

Please also note that laser and/or strobe lights are heavily used during this performance.

Released in July 2002, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots remains the commercial high-water mark in The Flaming Lips’ wild four-decade journey, giving the GRAMMY® award-winners their first RIAA certified Gold Record.

 

As the eagerly awaited follow-up to 1999’s masterwork, The Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi proved that singer/guitarist Wayne Coyne and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd had yet another masterpiece in them.

 

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is a sci-fi-themed quasi-concept album that cast The Flaming Lips’ most playful and profound songs to date in a wondrous swirl of ambient electronics, digital beats, and psychedelic splendor. The record yielded the band’s top-streamed track, “Do You Realize??” (a timeless stargazing anthem that, in 2009, was named the Official Rock Song of the band’s native Oklahoma) and also landed the Lips their first-ever Grammy Award® win for the cosmic album-closing instrumental “Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia).”
