The [[Flaming Lips]] are an alternative rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They formed in 1983 and have become one of the most well known cult bands of the past 25 years. They began as a punk band but became more and more eclectic and psychedelic with the passing years. They also moved from indie labels to Warner Bros Records early in [[The Nineties]], where they've remained since.
The band had a [[Revolving Door Band]] for years, but since 1993 it's more or less been the lineup of singer/guitarist/keyboardist Wayne Coyne, bassist/keyboardist Michael Ivins - the two of whom founded the band - and longtime drummer/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd.<ref>They had an additional guitarist, Ronald Jones, between 1991-1996.</ref> Recently, Drozd moved mainly to guitar duties, with Kliph Scurlock joining as a drummer starting with ''Embryonic'', and live guitarist/keyboardist Derek Brown was also promoted to full band member.
