Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne has announced a run of solo record store shows on the East Coast starting February 8 at New York City's Other Music, where he will sell early Lips reissues packaged inside a chocolate skull. Inside the candy package are "special Golden coins" that offer entrance to any of the Lips' headlining gigs.
Coyne talked to Rolling Stone back in November about the package saying, "It's all made out of chocolate, it's a life-size human skull, a life-sized human brain. The brain is actually sliding out of the skull made with this brain fluid flavored hard-candy."
Before the upcoming record store run, The Flaming Lips will perform at Amnesty International's Bringing Human Rights Home concert tomorrow at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. They will join acts including Tegan and Sara, the Fray, Cold War Kids, Colbie Caillat and Cake.
On February 6, the band will celebrate "Beatles Week" on The Late Show with David Letterman by performing "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" with Sean Lennon. Check out the band's 2014 itinerary below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
