Flaming Lips, Thievery Corp and ... Os Mutantes ?!!??

Legend has it that Kurt Cobain asked Os Mutantes to reunite and supprt Nirvana on a tour. (What would have been one of the most awesome tours ever by the way!!) Sadly that never happened.

However!! On Sun. Jul 23 at 7:00 PM Os Mutantes will rock the Hollywood Bowl with the Flaming Lips and Thievery Corporation in an event sponsored by KCRW and their annual World Festival. "Take a trip with the explosive sounds of indie rock heroes, The Flaming Lips and the progressively trip hop of DC's Thievery Corporation." Considering the Lips appear on the latest Theivery Corporation album, could we see a major collaboration at the Bowl??

Recently the 1970s Os Mutantes album Technicolor was re-released. The original alubm was an attempt to re-record the band's best songs in an attempt to crack the American and European markets by adding English lyrics. Other Brazillian stars like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil would also release albums like this.


Listen:

Os Mutantes: She's My Shoo Shoo (A Minha Menina) and Bat Macumba
Thievery Corporation with Wayne Coyne: Marching the Hate Machines
Flaming Lips: Free Radicals
