The MicroWedge was co-developed by EAW and Dave Rat, owner of Rat Sound. According to the band's monitor engineer, Sam Cole, "I couldn't be happier about mixing on the MicroWedges; they're loud, punchy and crisp and don't require a ton of EQ to get that way. Plus, they don't break my back when I try and carry two of them across a festival stage."
The GRAMMY-winning band played festival shows in the US and Europe throughout the summer, including Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Bestival in Spain, and in November will perform in Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. The latest releases from the Flaming Lips include Embryonic, released in October 2009, and a full-album reinterpretation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, released in December 2009.
