The Flaming Lips have been celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots on tour and Wayne Coyne and the rest of the band hit Brooklyn on Thursday night for a sold-out show at Kings Theatre. As usual, this was an over-the-top razzle dazzle show, with giant pink robots, space bubbles, confetti, streamers, lasers, and more. The Lips followed Yoshimi with a second set of songs from throughout their career, plus a cover of Madonna’s “Borderline.”

Check out photos by The Tinfoil Biter of the whole night, plus the setlist and fan-shot video, below.
