I saw these C-holes at a small local festival (with Sonic Youth actually). They were the last band to perform. My friend and I left not even half an hour into their set. The frontman is a TWAT.

Agreed. I mean, I love Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi, but they really need to knock it off already with all the multi-layered synth orchestrations and dancing bunnies and balloons. They've been a terrible parody of themselves for at least five years.

was this supposed to be a billy-badass version of Bon Jovi's comeback?

its just amazing that a band who started off as these acid fried punk rock butthole surfers imitators progressed to the band that made a a lush, orchestral, and beautiful psych pop masterpiece such as the soft bulletin. its not even my fave lips album (that would be clouds taste metallic) but it was quite an acheivement. yoshimi was cool too, especially for people know who yoshimi is, but they are far past their prime.
