Flaming Lips hit Broadway

Dotmusic Thu Mar 22, 9:00 AM ET

The Flaming Lips are set to be immortalised in a Broadway production based on the landmark album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.

The space-pop heroes are understood to be in discussions with a series of renowned TV producers about putting the album on the stage.

Aaron Sorkin, of West Wing fame, and award-winning Tommy director Des McAnuff are reported to be behind the project.

Wayne Coyne confirmed the reports in a recent interview, although he admits the 2002 album is "not really a story."

"When Des heard the record, he heard a lot about death and loss and the triumph of your own optimism...he had an emotional attachment to it," Coyne explained.

"I tell people all the time, it's not really a story. It's more like a mood. There's a Japanese girl; she fights some robots; that's five minutes. After that I don't know."
