What in the actual fuck?!? As if I didn't hate them already, now I really fucking hate them. How do you even enforce something like this?

Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips talking about just how big of a douchebag these guys are:

oh fucking wow....

They played a secret show in Miami as the Reflektors that was costume only. My wife wanted to go, tckets were hard to come by. Didn't go. Not upset.

saw em at bonaroo. keyboard player thought it was religious. i thought it was ok, but very contrived.
how douchey of a move this is depends entirely on enforcement though.


dress code in jest: cute, artsy, comical, tongue in cheek, no problem. id put something like on a ticket. why not.

dress code in earnest: burn them and canada for spawning their pretentious little selves.

also: secret show + dress code + tickets = lol cant be that secret.

everyone should show up in normal clothes - when you aren't let in - demand your refund.
Tell 'em that's as fancy as you got........

I don't even....

Yeah I heard this today, WTF? But I haven't heard if its actually enforced or not. Seems impossible to actually police - are they seriously getting the people at the venues to judge who is sufficiently "dressed up"? It must be a joke. Or a publicity stunt. Seems to have worked since this band has been off my radar for years now.

I loved "Neon Bible" but since then, I haven't cared a lick. It went from seeming real and honest to contrived. This whole idea is hilarious.

So, either suits and dresses...or costumes? I mean, that's begging for a dude in a speedo and swim cap showing up saying "I'm michael phelps".

Agree with this.

The only reason those cunts won a Grammy for best album in 2011 was because, well, let's see...who were they up against that year?
Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Lady Antebellum.

I really hate all the limp wristed, candy ass music that's all over the charts.
