Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips) To Sell Chocolate Skull EPs
posted in: By Genres • Music News • Rock
An EP made of chocolate, you say? Well, not quite. The Flaming Lips‘ Wayne Coyne has just embarked on his Record Store Tour, hitting Nashville, Louisville, Chicago, and St. Louis, before wrapping things up in Lawrence, KS. Though a short tour, Coyne will be promoting the reissue of The Flaming Lips’ early recordings, The Flaming Lips 1st EP on 12″ green vinyl and The Flaming Lips 2nd Cassette Demo on 7″ blue vinyl. Each will be limited to 2,000 copies, and will officially go on sale Dec. 24.
So where does the chocolate come in? Coyne will be giving record stores a limited version of the EP which will sit in a life-sized, handmade chocolate skull. If that isn’t enough for you, the package will also include a golden coin, which permits access to any headlining Flaming Lips show….in the world.
