90s psychedelia--Okie style. 
Though Flaming Lips had been around for a long time, with a number of albums under their belt, their 1993 album Transmissions From the Satellite Heart contained their breakthrough hit single, "She Don't Use Jelly."
I remember the first time I saw the Flaming Lips, in a tiny basement bar in St. Louis, just before SDUJ became a hit. They had none of the colorful props and outrageous spectacle that they would later become known for,* it was just three guys on stage with a modest light show on the backdrop. I was deeply impressed all the same, still one of my favorite concert memories! They poured their hearts into that show.
