King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

[Bill Hilly]

Why don't we have a King Giz thread yet? Super talented band that runs the gamut of musical styles. I'm really digging their new album, Fishing for Fishies, but I'm always going back to their 5 album run of 2017. Gumboot Soup is still my favorite album, which surprisingly had some "leftovers" from their earlier albums from 2017. It's got this 70s prog sound that I love. I'm just really impressed with the talent and work ethic these guys have. Future is bright for this band.

Why don't we have a King Giz thread yet?

Why don't we have a King Gizzard thread? Why? You need to ask?

Seriously?

[Bill Hilly]

Oh, I see. Same reason why I don't have to ask the obvious question of why you're a twat? I get it now.

seeing them in september. everytime they come around they play in a bigger and bigger venues. these guys are majorly talented. i have a feeling this tour is really going to propel them even higher.

[Bill Hilly]

Cool man. Yeah, I'm seeing them in August in Denver. I'm really excited to see them for the first time.

[Busty McCracken]

I see their name everywhere but still haven't given em much of a go . I'll give em a burn n see what I think

[Bill Hilly]

Please do, Busty. This is probably their most proggy album: Polygondwanaland. The first track, Crumbling Castle is outstanding.

They're also Tool Fans:

Thanks for sharing, Bill!
Better 3/4 & I are lounging on the deck listening now.

[Bill Hilly]

Nice Specter. Glad you're enjoying some good tunes on the deck!

[Calfium Jay]

Oh, I see. Same reason why I don't have to ask the obvious question of why you're a twat? I get it now.

I was being sarcastic.

Talk about Giz Whiz whatever to your heart's content.

[brewdog123]

september is going to be very interesting when i see them next

[Kittaan]

Wow, having seen them, finally, twice this year, and absorbing the enormity of their catalog, including 5 more releases this year alone…. I am thoroughly obsessed with these Aussies.

Holy hell, they are talented and fucking prolific. OK, they have a couple of projects that I just pretend don’t exist, but I’m wondering if even those tracks will eventually grow on me (probably not, they are pretty unlistenable imo).

Any regulars left that are digging this year’s crop?

I’m learning Ambergris on bass, and it’s a challenging masterpiece of beautifully weird rhythmic understatement and tweaky melodies.

Incredible live band. Can’t wait to see them again.

If any other bass players wanna give it a go:

[hellboy]

I don't mind them, though I can't keep up. I'd like to see them live one day

[brewdog123]

go now

[Kittaan]

The Gizz are doing a run of shows, including some residencies at great venues in the US right now. I wish I could swing some of them but it’s not possible this time.

Where/when did you see them Brewdog?

What’s your top KG release?

[liz]

Well now. I pop in and read this. I'm seeing my first King Giz show in a couple of weeks! Leo Sayer is on the bill too. ( giggle). Seriously though I'm pretty pumped. I'm expecting to like it quite a lot.

[Kittaan]

Hi Lizzie!!

I wager you’ll feel like dancin, dancin.

KG is one of the best live acts out there. I’m jealous.

Cuck Wizard and the Woke Jizzard

[Kittaan]

Good on ‘em.

I’m surprised that KGLW is Cal’s favorite band…

[hellboy]

I like their political correctness more than their music personally

[Kittaan]

What have you sampled HB? They are at least 6 bands (so many different genres represented), try some more. And definitely go see them live.

[hellboy]

I've listened to a bunch of their recent albums. There's some I think is great, plenty I think it forgettable.
