The Fearless Freaks
w/Wayne Coyne and Bradley Beesley Q&A
View Trailer
 "The
Fearless Freaks" is a feature-length documentary that follows
the Flaming Lips up close for ten years, through band member changes,
battles with addiction, bright days and dark nights. It runs the
gamut emotionally, and is a beautiful portrait of this hard-working
and insanely dedicated absurdist band. The film screened in a “secret
sneak preview” at Noise Pop last year. This year, we re-present
the film, with a Q&A with Wayne Coyne and director Bradley Beesley.
Directed by Beesley, the band's video director since 1992, and produced
by Rick Fuller.

Suburbs, Judy Nylon with a young Alejandro Escovedo on guitar, and
many others, when this music was just beginning. Early black-and-white
