| | | The stats on King Gizzard’s colourful career are stacking up fast: 15 albums in 7 years (including five in 2017 alone), 10 of them charting in the Top 20 in Australia, where they are now arguably the country’s most innovative, important and productive rock band. International critical acclaim. Headline festival appearances. And perhaps most importantly, a fervent worldwide fanbase who share endless memes, mixes, videos, graphics, theories and discussions, all through which they explore and expand what they have termed ‘The Gizzverse’. |

| | Formed in Melbourne, Australia, by a group of friends in 2010, the band released 15 studio albums, producing a whopping 5 LPs in 2017 alone. Working at a feverish pace, the band has blazed through music genres, mooring their sound in the psychedelic rock explosion of the 1960s.
Each of the band's 15 albums follows a different and experimental path: from the garage rock-inspired EPs from 2011, jazz-rock cosmic tracks on EP "Quarters", counterpointed by the softer, acoustic pop sounds of " Paper Mache Dream Balloon" from 2015, and atmospheric blues to heavy, thrash metal tracks on "Planet B" from 2019.
The Aussie band records innovative and surprising music. Still, it is their live shows which are the most interesting sonic and visual experience. There are no holds barred when King Gizzard & Lizard Wizard play live. High-voltage, energetic gigs take the audience on a trippy exploration of different musical landscapes, unexpected sounds and surprising harmonies.
