King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
For over 15 years, Australia has been a major player in the global music scene and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are a prime example of this trend. Formed in Melbourne in 2010, the band have become known for their genre-bending sound and prolific production. Their latest release, Flight B741is their 26th studio album and continues their tradition of pushing musical boundaries. The album delves deep into blues influences and combines classic rock elements with modern twists, all within the expansive “Gizzverse” the band has developed over the course of their extensive discography.
King Gizzard’s ability to consistently produce innovative music has cemented their place as a leading force in the industry. Their live shows are known for their energetic and eclectic mix of sounds, making them a must-see for fans of experimental rock.
Geese
The evening kicked off with Geese, a band that quickly gained recognition in the music world. Geese hails from New York City, formed during high school and signed to Partisan Records shortly after graduation. Their sound blends elements of soul rock and is difficult to categorize. Their latest album, 3D Landwas compared to other innovative acts and their performance at Brown’s Island set the stage for an evening of musical exploration.
