BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/23/07 -- As previously reported, THE FLAMING LIPS have been celebrated in their hometown of Oklahoma City by the City Council who has named a street in the band's honor. Flaming Lips Alley is located in the trendy Bricktown district near downtown Oklahoma City. The official dedication ceremony of Flaming Lips Alley will take place on Thursday, October 25th, beginning at 11:30am. The Mayor of Oklahoma City, Mick Cornett, will present the official street sign to the band followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony. However, this will not be your average, quiet garden variety City Hall affair. This will be a Flaming Lips happening in the grand tradition. It may be loud, it could get messy, but it will be memorable. Expect this event to be more like a Lips live show complete with dancing Santas, aliens, The Flaming Lips crew dressed in their red jumpsuits, far too many balloons, tons of confetti shot from canons and the massive Lips concert video screen in full Floydian effects.

Two days later, Oklahoma City will brace itself for the inaugural Ghouls Gone Wild Halloween Parade to celebrate creativity and artistry in Oklahoma. Naturally, Wayne Coyne has been appointed Grand Marshall for the parade, which will take place on Saturday, October 27th at 7:00pm. The Flaming Lips will appear at the finishing point of the parade. Floats, festive cars and walking groups will be part of the Autumnal ritual but The Lips still need your help. They are looking for 1000 volunteers to help make the parade a symbolic, supernatural procession which they will call "The March Of 1000 Flaming Skeletons 2007."

If you would like more information and are brave enough to participate, you'll need to reserve your space immediately by RSVPing to: deathmarchreservation@hellfireltd.com.

Participants must be over 18 years of age and be in Oklahoma City on Friday, October 26th. There is $25 fee to join in but you will get to keep your costume and (hopefully extinguished) torch, plus you will receive an exclusive T-shirt designed especially for the event and available only to participants. Act now, ghouls are standing by.
