King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard (KGLW) is very popular in their native Australia. With international touring and being on a major label, KGLW's neo psychedelia has gained a cult following in North America. The leader of KGLW is Stu McKenzie. He's the lead singer and he writes all the songs. The other members are Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Joey Walker, Cook Craig, Lucas Harwood and Michael Cavanagh. Harwood plays bass and Cavanagh plays drums. The others play various instruments. They are from Melbourne, Australia and most of them were students at RMIT University. The name is a spinoff of Jim Morrison's nickname The Lizard King. At first they released garage rock on their own label. But they transitioned to a neo psychedelic sound. The turning point for KGLW came when they signed with Dave Matthews' ATO label and started touring internationally. Gamma Knife is from their 2016 album Nonagon Infinity. McKenzie writes and produces everything. They released five albums in 2017. Apparently they had some leftover songs and they decided to record everything. They continue to release plenty of music mostly on their own label. They have released 24 studio albums and plenty of live bootlegs. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is the kind of band that has a cult following called The Gizzverse. So if that's what you want, they could be for you. Here's the video for Gamma Knife by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.
I watched the video. They are different. I can see why they would have a following in their country. They are good. Not for me, but they are good and they are different which is good in this day and age . Thanks Frank. David.
