Australian Psych
Upcoming King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Tour
Australian experimental outfit King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have built a well-earned reputation as one of the most prolific, adventurous and inventive bands of all time. Since 2010, the band have released 25 studio albums, which range from expansive jazz-rock, to spaghetti Western soundscapes, semi-acoustic cosmic ballads, sci-fi prog, kaleidoscopic garage rock, thrash metal, explorations of microtonal tunings, kraut-rock and more. King Gizzard's prolific nature has led them to release music at a frenetic pace, and their intense desire to seek out new sounds and follow new creative paths means that every one of their multitude of releases sounds different from the last. Often released in swift progression of one another (notably, the band released five albums in 2017, and again in 2022, with three in the month of October 2022 alone) King Gizzard have taken the traditional rules of the industry of music making and thrown them out the window. Their intense stage shows and the puzzle-like intricacies of their records have attracted a global fanbase of dedicated Gizzheads, while their Bootlegger program - which sees the band make their music available to independent record labels for free - results in hundreds of variations of certain releases, across vinyl, cassette and CD. Formed in 2010 in Melbourne, Australia, by a group of friends who jammed casually, the lineup consists of Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Cook Craig, Joey Walker, Lucas Harwood, and Michael Cavanagh.
