Kliph Scurlock on The Flaming Lips' 2010-2011 NYE Freakout!!! & playing 'The Soft Bulletin' live

Описание: I spoke with former Flaming Lips drummer Kliph Scurlock about his experience at the 2010-2011 New Year's Eve Freakout and what it was like to play 'The Soft Bulletin' live for the first time ever. You can find a full pro-shot recording of this performance here:    • The Flaming Lips - New Year's Eve Freakout...  

Thanks to Kliph chatting with me and agreeing to do this video! The whole process was a lot of fun, and I look forward to picking his brain more for future videos! Stay tuned!
