The puppet (and gong and glitter and blood) show

News flash! The Flaming Lips are heading to Vicar St for a one-off performance on Monday, July 1st.

It is not yet known how similar or different this appearance will be to the Lips' past spectaculars, which have famously involved all manner of props, from a hand-puppet with which frontman Wayne Coyne sings duets, to a (false) wound on his forehead that gushes blood throughout the show...

Either way, it's sure not to disappoint...
