The newest psych-rockers on the block, Black Moth Super Rainbow, this weekend joined some of the older psych-rockers on the block, The Flaming Lips, to give Chicago's Aragon Ballroom a double dose of their sonic euphoria. As usual, some singing Santas spiced up the Lips' set before frontman Wayne Coyne donned his cosmic hamster ball. And yes, the UFO was there.

BMSR, meanwhile, augmented their performance with some flashy videos and light tricks-- not exactly a giant UFO descending on stage, but hey, they've got another decade or two to work on that.

More photos and both bands' fall itineraries below.
