Flaming Lips are working with Lightning Bolt?! Now yes, I get it, both are legends in their own right in the experimental genre. Yet I could not have thought of a weirder combo: perhaps, Xiu Xiu and Chinese Stars but other then that, few other experimental pairs come to mind.

Mid June appears to be our next warehouse rave. Save the date, stay tuned, and enjoy charity like you never thought you could.
