The band commented:

“We’ve made the (very hard) decision to reschedule our USA/CAN tour once again.

This was an extraordinarily tough decision to make but I hope y’all can understand the complexities that come with a giant tour of the States and Canada with a 6 piece band and a 6 person crew from Australia during a pandemic.

We’ve tried our hardest to reschedule as many of these shows as possible at the same venues. That means your ticket will still be valid if you want to go.

For our NY show, we’re unfortunately going to be canceling it, you will be given a full refund and will have to buy a new ticket at the new venue. Sorry! It’s bigger though so everyone should be able to get tickets. Exciting news on that and other new shows coming soon! 🙂

If you’d like a refund contact your local venue as soon as you can to arrange.

Thanks to every gizzhead for your ongoing support and love. We will get back on the road as soon as we can.

Love king gizz Xoxox”

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Officially Announce New Album “L.W.”, Premiere “Pleura” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have officially confirmed that their new album “L.W.” will be released on February 26. With this news, the band have also premiered a new video for the effort’s latest single “Pleura”:

The video’s director John Angus Stewart commented:

“I think a true document of live music shouldn’t rely entirely on editing. There is something that happens with the way we perceive images, if something ‘live’ is too produced, your mind sort of loses interest. With this format, we wanted to leave the editing up to the viewer. The decision of who to look at, and at what time determines each individual viewing experience. With each watch your experience will be completely different, which mirrors Gizzard’s experience playing the song live. The process is the same, yet the result is different.”

Vocalist/guitarist Stu Mackenzie also added the following about the album, which follows the release of the band’s 2020 record “K.G.”:

“We wanted to make new music that was somehow more colorful this time around, and which maybe reflected the many new things that we have learned along the way. After recording ‘Flying Microtonal Banana‘ the songs expanded when we played them live, so we felt ready to tackle the microtonal landscape again. Making these two new records was not expected, but because they were recorded in a way that was new to us – not being in the room at the same time – there was a feeling of almost being over-prepared, which is definitely not normal for us. Whatever normal is.”

“L.W.” Track Listing:

01. “If Not Now, Then When?”
02. “O.N.E.”
03. “Pleura”
04. “Supreme Ascendancy”
05. “Static Electricity”
06. “East West Link”
08. “Ataraxia”
09. “See Me”
10. “K.G.L.W.”

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Premiere “O.N.E.” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have premiered a new video for their new song “O.N.E.” You can check that out below. This news comes after a recent leak seemed to suggest that the band are planning to release a new album titled “L.W.” on February 26.

Director Alex McClaren commented:

“The song itself feels as if it’s constantly moving along so I tried to keep the visuals continually moving forward and sliding into different visual styles and landscapes. I felt the mix of stop motion and collage through the use of found imagery and the band would help compliment the tracks lyrics and themes as I interpreted them, of dreams, nightmares, climate change, dystopias, and utopias, as well as referencing events that took place during the making of the video over 2020. All video of the band was shot by Ambrose during the second lockdown restrictions and I had to give notes on shooting and direct remotely which was strange but so was everything during that period.”

In other news, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will also be playing a show with Tropical Fuck Storm at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, Australia on February 26.
