KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD IN CONCERT:

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard sounds like a transmission from garage rock’s past heard over the crackling transistors of a handheld radio. The lo-fi septet is certainly an unusual assembly -- three guitarists, two drummers, a bassist, and a harmonica player -- but they wouldn’t have it any other way. They wrap ticket buyers in an intoxicating haze with the can’t-help-but-sing-along hooks and fuzz-laden guitar riffs that abound on both straightforward singles like “Cellophane” and spacey epics like “Head On/Pill”. Fans looking for classic garage rock and psychedelia sounds played with youthful enthusiasm will eat up the bizarre sonic gumbo that King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard serve up whenever they go on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Melbourne, Australia garage rock septet King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard began in 2010 as the side project of an adventurous group of musicians. But Stu Mackenzie (vocals/guitar), Joe Walker (guitar), Cook Craig (guitar), Ambrose Kenny-Smith (harmonica/ vocals), Eric Moore (drums/theremin), Michael Cavanagh (drums), and Lucas Skinner (bass) soon found that they preferred the fruitful experimentation that resulted from that one-off jam to their regular gigs. The group debuted on wax with 12 Bar Bruise in 2012, followed by Eyes Like the Sky a scant five months later. The group has maintained this breakneck pace, though they always add fresh twists to their signature style. For example, their critically acclaimed 2015 album Quarters featured four psychedelic jams that were all exactly 10:10 long. Their fearless creativity has made them a popular live act, and their garage rock sing-alongs and psychedelic rave-ups have thrilled audiences around the world.

    2.02 Killer Show

    by Ray 'Altered Beast' Bentley on 10/26/22The Anthem - Washington

    Third time seeing KG in DC, first time not at the 9:30 Club. For comparison, I saw The Mars Volta 15 years ago when they were gearing up to release their fourth album, and that show was a mess - everyone was all over the place and it was hard to believe a band that sounded that tight on their albums was this loose on stage. King Gizzard, though? Exact opposite. I am still trying to figure out how they played this show, synced up to video, while giving ample time to jam and have fun around the stage. Incredible showmanship. Setlist was killer and featured a run from I'm In Your Mind Fuzz, the album that introduced me to the band. Ending with Float Along - Fill Your Lungs turned a banger of a concert into a quasi-religious experience. If you're on the fence about going to a KG show, go. It's worth every penny, and every body ache afterwards.

    My favorite venue for any show!

    by Bobby on 10/26/22The Anthem - Washington

    The staff are the best, plenty of places to get food, drinks and water throughout the venue. The view from any seat or GA location is superb and best of all, the acoustics are amazing.

    Weird vibes!

    by Eva on 10/22/22L'Olympia - Montreal

    Love the music, but the crowd had weird, aggressive vibes. We left before the end. Also the opening band was so different and not really our style. And the wait was long

    WOW

    by Mak on 10/21/22History - Toronto

    This was the best show I've ever seen in my entire live, I've loved King Gizz for years and this was my first live experience. All I can say is everyone needs to see these guys at least once in their lives. I definitely need more of that in my life. They sounded spectacular, the energy in the venue was unlike anything I've ever experienced . Just WOW. Even a couple days after the show I'm still blown away, they are amazing and extremely talented, thanks so much!

    Been chasing this event since 2020. I’ve seen them 4 times now. They were so tight and disciplined, sounded amazing, played for almost three hours straight. Top five ever experienced from anyone.

    Talk about worth the wait. A show 2.5 years in the making. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen out of 100’s. Second set felt like a deemster dream. They had the whole place just pulsating.

    The Gizzverse is real.

    by S V on 10/5/22Greek Theatre-U.C. Berkeley - Berkeley

    I cannot begin to talk about how much I love this band. This show was one of the best I have ever seen! 3 hours of hit after hit, changing genres and tempo, and making a crowd feel like they were witnessing something special. Everything they played sounded fantastic. I cannot wait to see them again in just under a month, and I wish I could follow them up the west coast. Long live King Gizz!
