Upcoming Events In & Around EugeneSeptember 27 - October 4 Contact Info: September 29 Flaming Lips Where: The McDonald Theatre When: 9:00 PM Wednesday 
The Flaming Lips are an American rock band, formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1983.The band is known for their lush, multi-layered, psychedelic arrangements, spacey lyrics and bizarre song and album titles-for example, "Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles", "Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber)" and "Yeah, I Know It's a Drag... But Wastin' Pigs Is Still Radical". They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne's signature man-sized plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience. In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die". The group recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label in the 1980s and early 1990s. After signing to Warner Brothers, they scored a hit in 1993 with "She Don't Use Jelly". Although it has been their only hit single in the U.S., the band has maintained critical respect and, to a lesser extent, commercial viability through albums such as 1999's The Soft Bulletin (which was NME Magazine's Album of the Year) and 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. They have had more hit singles in the UK and Europe than in the U.S. In February 2007, they were nominated for a BRIT Award in the "Best International Act" category. As of 2007, the group has collected three Grammy Awards, including two for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. www.flaminglips.com

Aaron Dontez Yates, better known by his stage name Tech N9ne, is an American rapper. With a career spanning over 25 years, Tech N9ne is widely regarded as one of the most successful independent artists in contemporary rap and hip-hop music. In September 2008, Tech N9ne officially hit a milestone in his career, recording over a million album sales to date, thanks to the release of his double album, Killer. Despite the accomplishment, the rapper remembers the struggles of his career, up until this point. However, he wasn't surprised. "It just reminded me of all the work we done in the past, up until now. It's something. It's dope," the rapper told BallerStatus.com. "I don't think it's sunken in yet. I've been celebrating for the last two days because that's a hell of an accomplishment. I've been planning success all my life. I'm not even a bit surprised, I'm happy about it. That just means I was right." www.therealtechn9ne.com
