Wayne Coyne, singer
We started the Flaming Lips in 1983 and had already been a band for a long time when we came to record Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in 2000. We’d seen a lot of things come and go and were probably suspicious of the success we’d had with its predecessor, The Soft Bulletin, even though that felt wonderful and amazing. We didn’t presume we were going to be successful again or be rock stars for ever.
