OOOOh chuck 'em on here - can't wait to see them! What a shame about the crowd though - the audience are such an important part of their gigs (Mind you, I've only been to two!). MY monkey noises are legendary... Laughing

Now there's an image - Wayne leading a Funky Gibbon-type routine... Wink

Glad you had a top time Chrissie. Looking forward to seeing your pics on here; we need our FLips fix!

Funny enough, was just gonna post this as they've announced they're appearing on super cool kids programme Yo Gabba Gabba (Nov 5th in the 'States, some point later over here):
Super cute version of I Can Be a Frog

OK, only a few decent photos from the FLips show...as usual, I was waaay too busy having fun to take many pictures. I was also too short. tongue

And I could not get a shot of Michael to save my life. Not ONE! But here's the few that were semi-useful:

Wayne's really 50.... Jesus... that makes Bono look like 100! *LOL*
Although I like both of them it's the truth.

And Wayne has the spirit of a 10 year old. I love him for that. And their music... Well, enough said about that. Very Happy

Truly amacing.

Yippee-yi-yay! The musical based on Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, which has had a really, reeeeeally long gestation period, is finally moving forward, according to this article:http://bit.ly/gXtXFH

What other band could possibly have an article written about them that contains a sentence as kick-ass awesome as this one?

Quote :: Next week, the band will release a USB drive with four songs buried inside a brain encased inside a life-size human skull made from seven pounds of Gummi-style gelatin candy.

Whoa! Dude! Righteous!!! cheers

This one's killing me - does anyone want to buy 3 tickets for Flips at Alexandra Palace on Friday, 1st July - they're playing all of 'The Soft Bulletin'.
