If you've never had the pleasure, well worth the price of admission and if you have,well..you know what your in for (oh to be back at home with more liberal drug laws)

Where and what kind of venue is AX-Korea?

Thanks for the heads up. But 99,000 Won? Why not just 100,000?

Check out the pics here. A mid-size concert hall type place. With some odd 'crowdsurfing-gone-wrong-I-snapped-my-spine' partitions on the floor. Definitely an intimate venue for a Flaming Lips show.

See you there!

ABSOLUTELY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT INCREDIBLE!!!!

This is my favorite band of all time, and I never for a second expected them to come here.

This has made my entire month.

Booked! Wooohoo.

Thanks Smudger

[meangradin]

their newest cd is great!

I can't wait.

can you believe the price though? 99,000 for the Flaming Lips?! It's ridiculous. Mid-sized gigs like this in Korea are seriously overpriced. There should be more outfits like Super Colour Super who put on affordable shows. I seriously can't believe anyone would pay 99,000 for a gig.

on a wednesday? lame.

[Smudger]

It's on a Saturday.

+1 to DaeguKid
99,000 = seeing one of the best rated live acts around, that has come half-way round the world to play at a 2,000 seat hall. That wouldn't even be lame on a Tuesday.

yeah, really excited about this upcoming show! unfortunately, i don't know anyone else interested in going - not that that's ever kept me from attending a show.

jonsi from sigur ros is playing at the same place later in the month.

if anyone wants to meet up for either of those, let me know.

[Smudger]

In addition to the above post re: Jonsi from Sigur Ros. Super Color Super is also bringing 'Four Tet' to Seoul. Good stuff.

I must really be around the wrong people, most of the people I know have no idea about bands like Flaming Lips, Sigur Ros. I lived in Gangnam and had contact with alot of young dudes/professionals and they had no idea about this music. Is there really a fan base for that stuff here? In Japan, sure, but here? I think I was shocked when I caught one student listening to Massive Attack.

btw, no Ronald Jones, no FL
