Amanda Palmer Collaborates w/ Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips on NEW Video, US Tour
The video was co-created and directed by Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips), Amanda Palmer,
George Salisbury & Michael McQuilken. It also features a fiery performance by seductive starlet
Stoya Doll, with additional acting by band members Michael McQuilken, Chad Raines and Jherek
Bischoff, along with Tarren Clarke, Dan Heim, Che MF Lucci, Bebe Adams, Renee Hilton, Michael
Davis, Stephen Elmore, Adina Verson. The video also features a cameo by Wayne himself.
Filmed over two 105-degree days in Oklahoma City this summer, in five locations (Kamps, The
Conservatory, The Boom, Wayne’s house, The Colcord Hotel) Palmer sends a “massive thanks to the
awesome video extras of Oklahoma City (and many lands beyond!) who gave their time shouting,
dancing, getting glittered, and giving us their beautiful faces.”
“Working with Wayne was an old-school dream come true, as I’ve been following his crazed
adventures for years but never met him before. I’m always actively seeking to connect with other
crazed renaissance freaks to simply see HOW THEY WORK. Apparently, how it works with Wayne
Coyne at a video shoot is simple: everything’s a cosmic improvisation, everyone’s attitude is on
enthusiastic overdrive, and if you drop a hint, Wayne will covertly show up with six giant boxes of
gold glitter (presumably from Flaming Lips Headquarters, where they must have an endless supply) in
the trunk of his car. We hit it off like long lost art-soul-mates, and when I saw Wayne spontaneously
climb onto a ceiling pole and stage-dive during the shoot, I thought: note to self, at all costs, wind up
like Wayne Coyne. He gave me a great Oklahoma City/Flaming-Lips-History tour after the shoot was
over as we bonded over our weird parallel lives, and I really got what I was hoping for…a new friend I
could really relate to. We come from the same planet.”
