Hot Lips

Flaming Lips, Portsmouth Guildhall:
Wonderful wonderful Flaming Lips, they never fail to entertain, enthuse and astound. Oklahoma's finest furnished us with another stunning show; the intimate surroundings of the Guildhall lent themselves to the extravaganza which is a Lips show. Wayne was on fine form and began the show by entering his inflatable ball and proceeding to travel around the crowd on peoples hands. The set was great containing new tracks and of course old favourites, such as Yoshimi and WAND. The crowd were the usual eclectic mix of folk and all had a fantastic time at a stunning gig. Sean drove which meant I could have a drink or two or so.....huzzah! They were supported by 'Star death and the white dwarfs' who were good, unfortunately the fire alarm went off and we had to troop outside until the all clear which shortened their set. Still top night all round. If you've not seen the Flaming Lips, do so, you don't know what you're missing.
