 The Flaming Lips
Wayne didn't place too much emphasis on going to school, preferring instead to indulge his early artistic tendencies, mostly in the form of painting and drawing in his own distinctive style.
In the later part of the 1970s, Wayne was still painting, including some large oil works, as well as furthering his musical 'education' at the large rock shows of the day.
The band went from strength to strength and Wayne was also able to realise a number of artistic ambitions as the decade went on.

Wayne Coyne is sitting in a London restaurant, the debris from a gruelling day's promotion - empty coffee cups, water bottles, a half-eaten sandwich - piling up around him.
Coyne is considered starry enough to appear at the Brits, while "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song", the first single to be taken from At War with the Mystics, is expected by the band's record company to sail into the top 10.
Coyne blithely admits that, as a result of his stage antics, most people tend to assume he's either crazy or on drugs.

 Austin Chronicle: Candy Store Rock: The Flaming Lips
And while Coyne may see the band as a studio-derived creature these days, in the mid-Nineties the Lips were a touring machine: They played the second stage at Lollapalooza in '94; they opened for the Butthole Surfers, Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, and Porno for Pyros; they heard Candlebox's version of "Voodoo Chile" 62 times.
Wayne is there with his mother, two brothers, and a sister, but mostly he's there to clown it up with his bounty of nieces and nephews.
Coyne is also highly analytical, though he's still more than capable of asking deeply nonsensical questions, or simulating a toddler's perennial "Why?" stage.

 Road Gear - Wayne's World
A large part of the credit for the band's unlikely longevity and consistent if quirky creativity goes to enthusiastic frontman Wayne Coyne and his willingness to stretch artistic boundaries to the breaking point.
We first hooked up with Coyne in 1997 when we got wind of his Parking Lot Experiment, in which he'd corral 30 to 40 cars, hand out cassettes containing sounds he'd recorded, and have the car owners crank their stereos in unison and listen to the resulting sonic chaos.
Coyne and I jawed for hours via phone from his home base of Oklahoma City about upping the ante on the experiments by using a group of souped-up sound-off cars, and I helped coordinate a dry run at the well-known Tulsa car-stereo shop Car Toys.

Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne admits that his band has developed a bit of an obsession with the local quintet, led by singer-guitarist Stephen McBean.

 TheStar.com - From the mouths of Lips
The musically adventurous Oklahoma City outfit — now a trio comprising singer/guitarist Wayne Coyne, drummer Steve Drozd and bassist Michael Ivins — started out in 1983 as a rough-hewn, post-punk indie rock band before experiencing its first commercial success a decade later with the irresistible "She Don't Use Jelly."
In 1997, the band released Zaireeka, an impractical set of four discs designed to be played simultaneously, followed by the 1999 breakthrough The Soft Bulletin, an ethereal, psych-pop classic that has spawned countless imitators.
The band opened for Beck in 2002 at Massey Hall, on a night when a freak power outage added an extra layer of spontaneity to the group's customarily wacky stage antics.

 The Flaming Lips by The Flaming Lips
Wayne Coyne continues to provide a tense theatrical backdrop to the more conventional morphages of rock.
His last record with The Flaming Lips, The Soft Bulletin maintained not only his lofty disregard for the mainstream but also more than firmly chisled out his niche as narrative crafsman, both with regard to his output on record and to his beautifully conceived stage theatre.
