The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (Sean Lennon & Charlotte Kemp Muhl) have been announced as the opening act on The Flaming Lips' US tour in May. Following their debut album, Acoustic Sessions, and an acoustic tour, the band will be playing in May as a 5-piece electric band.
Perhaps inspired by the kaleidoscopic mentalness (is that a word?) of Mr Coyne and Co, GOASTT have come up with the most barmy video we have seen for a while. As part of an 8-song album called La Carotte Bleue (blue vinyl/limited edition 500 copies) released for Record Store Day, the band has concocted a messed-up re-imagining of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's 1967 recording, Comic Strip. The result is a tongue-in-cheek hip-hop romp with the help of French pop star Matthieu Chedid (aka M), who can be seen playing air guitar/tennis racket in the below clip, which was shot with a Flip camera and a bunch of rented super hero costumes and drag queen glitter boots. As you do.
