    Story Time :) - I attended this show. I show up early, which is about 10am. I didn’t want this free show to fill up and not be able to get a spot. I was just getting into these guys, and discovered them at the start of their 2017 run, with FMB, and at this point, SKETCHES just released. I buy a copy of SKETCHES at the LITA record shop in that gathering space, and wait for the show to start. Being only a few months into these guys, I was not familiar with everyones name. As I waited for the show to start, in comes the whole band, bringing in their own gear, and setting up. They quickly set up and start hanging out and interacting with everyone. At this point, I totally felt ‘starstruck’ , and somehow worked up the gaul to ask Joey, who besides Stu was the only name and face I knew then, to introduce me to some of the band members around, which he very kindly did. Jason Galea was even there! It was so cool to be able to chat with those guys for a sec, and even get the record I bought earlier signed by everyone, who were so gracious with their time. They are all really nice chill guys. Then they played and holy hell, was I not expecting MOTU on a weekday morning, but wow was it an amazing show. I wish I could have become a fan from the beginning , but happy that I am on the train now. Those KEXP gathering space shows have been some of the best experiences of my life, tbh.

  • @Kamikaze_4
    @Kamikaze_4 4 роки тому +207

    I came for the unique name. I stayed for the unique music. 2 synchronous and impressive drummers, 3 guitars (one being a double/12 string electric), audible bass, flute, keyboards/soundboards, singing, harmonica, (I'm probably missing something) and it's all so well balanced. At no point did I feel like any of their myriad of flowing elements become domineering. It all just works together. I'm stunned by how much each band member is in charge of doing. It's so dynamic that it's hard to keep track of everything and you just kind of get sucked in.
    I don't usually critique/pick apart music like this, but you've just gained a fan!

      Lol as a pro drummer cymbals can outlast a couple generations of working drummers with good technique seriously. Crazy I can't figure out how the hell you can break cymbals like I can hit pretty hard but damn cymbals are fucking metal disks...
      But I guess... that's because a common misconception is that the thicker the cymbals the more resistant it is, that's complete BS. A thicker cymbals will absorb much less of the impact and can therefore crack much more easily.
      Older jazz cymbals like those have no reason to break whatsoever unless not put on felts. Also you can't like, beat a cymbal and and make an actual mark on it. Like, cymbals are hammered, that's why there are marks on them. You won't alter a cymbal shape by hitting it with wooden sticks...
      Just to clarify. Also it's an insane amount of work to clean cymbals to make them shiny, I really don't care xD

    I have a theory about Aussie bands. As a country, Australia is so separated from the rest of the world that it absorbs styles from all parts of the world and makes its' own amalgamation. I just started listening to KG&TLW a couple weeks ago, and every release is completely different from the former. I love the microtonal stuff. They are on their own plane, nobody even close to them. The best relation I can make is early King Crimson with Robert Fripp. Sufficiently weird and captivating. A welcome diversion for me these past couple weeks - given the state of the world, and having lost my best friend from high school last week. I can't wait to dive into all of this band's stuff.

      You're spot on mate. In Australia we listen to everything that's out there as our local market is so small and generic. Occasionally, you get a band that surpasses everything else out there by bringing a special uniqueness. But bands like this are (sadly) not the norm. They do better abroad than locally. The 3 best Australian bands I could possibly think of at the moment are ALL touring the EU and US right now! These guys, Psychedelic porn crumpets and Hiatus kaiyote. Check them out as well. All so unique and wonderful. So proud that amongst all the rubbish, we at least have this to prove that Australia has something to offer if you know where to look.

    This is the performance that got me into King Gizz.
    One day in 2016 or maybe 2015 my friend showed me The River, and it instantly became one of my favorite songs-I was into 60s and early 70s hippie music at that time-but I fell into the trap of expecting all their music to be like that, so I was disappointed by their other stuff when I initially heard it. I would listen to The River fairly often, but absolutely nothing else from them.
    But then one day in 2017 I saw this in my recommended videos, and I was intrigued by the thumbnail of Stu holding the guitar up high on his chest, so I clicked on it and was blown away by how epic it is; it's a nice blend of punk and metal with elements of krautrock, plus of course the random awesomeness that King Gizz likes to throw in-flute, harmonica played in a hard rock style, 2 drummers-which somehow flows naturally and doesn't sound forced at all! And, at times, it also reminds me of a punk band which used to be one of my favorites back in my teens when I was into punk and metal: Rudimentary Peni.
    After that, I had a more appreciative ear for King Gizz's style.

    For having 2 drummers playing the same thing, 3 guitar players, 2 keyboard, 1 bass. Sounds like a group of guys started making music and couldn't decide which buddy to kick out of the band.

      BRO, can you believe I went to a concert because The war on drugs was the main band and i discovered right there King gizzard and the lizard wizard as their concert opener? Damn that concert was intense as fuck, mix of genres of different bands and i would do it again

    I was skeptical based on the name, but this is very impressive. It's highly progressive for today and above all very unique.
