There isn’t much need for added incentive to get along to a Flaming Lips show, but the band is spoiling their US fans anyway. At select dates on the Lips tour, ticket-buyers will receive a free digital EP of tracks from the forthcoming album Embryonic.

The tidy little package includes songs Convinced Of The Hex, The Impulse and Silver Trembling Hands (Wayne Coyne-worthy titles one and all), as well as three rare B-sides. Most impressive of all, the – œexclusive tour bundle’ will also include a digital download bootleg of the show you attend; made available after the last confetti cannon has fired. Why restrict this stroke of genius to America?

With The Flaming Lips arriving on Australian soil in a month’s time, get excited with these behind-the-scenes photos of their celebrated live show.
