Among the bands who performed were the Flaming Lips (Lips frontman Wayne Coyne is pictured above) of “She Don’t Use Jelly” fame. The band, who shamelessly employed everything from confetti to beach balls to fake blood to animal suits to video in their performance, is promoting their Island hop new CD, “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” (Warner Bros.).
