All Things King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Rats Nest was only three members i think? Ambrose/Cook also have the Murlocs/Pipe-Eye, side projects. While there haven't been a ton of lineup changes, I don't think they have an issue not including every member if they aren't particularly feeling it.

Gizz seems to be Stu's main creative output and if Dwyer/Zappa/Buckethead could be used as points of reference, I think we may just be along for the ride.

that's how I feel about them.... sure, it's curious to think how/why such a prolific band will end, but I'm choosing to focus on the journey rather than the destination

It really feels like the 5-album years are probably the ceiling for just about anyone's creative output. As an experiment it's fun to see what limits they can push, but as a career? I don't see how it ends in anything other than flaming out.

For me they kinda did flame out with their first super productive year in 2017. Nothing they have put out since then has matched the best 2 albums from that year for me. I don't think flame out is the best way to put it, maybe just grown out of my preferences. I still look for them but haven't been compelled to buy since then. I still have hope and try to check all their releases.

Actually behind on their releases and I need to check Omnium Gatherium maybe it will be the one. I hope I love all the new ones too. Not trying to be a downer!

but all it takes is for one or two members to get out of sync with the rest of the group for that cadence to fall apart. Marriage, kids, health issues...all of that life stuff places stress on the group dynamic.

All of this has literally already happened, their manager/second drummer left, at least three of them have kids/got married in the last few years and Stu has been dealing with Crohn's disease his whole life.
I think it's all structured so loosely that they can all fill in the gaps when needed in different ways.

To add on to this; the good news for us is that we're in a time that bands can just put out music. They can connect directly to their base and give us more, more, and more. It's never been easier to record. It's never been easier to distribute. It's never been easier to cut out the Record Label.

I doubt that the Gizzards fellas are any more prolific than many of the bands of the past, it's just how well they cut tracks and send it out to us that is the new part. They don't have to pay for studio time and tape, so it makes it a lot easier for them to be less picky with what goes out. There's no label telling them that they have to tour for 2 years to maximize profits from their latest release.

Man, If 70's era bands like E Street or the Heartbreakers had this much freedom to create and release imagine what we could have gotten from them.

I just finished listening to the Brisbane 21 show uninterupted front to back for the first time this morning at work. I can't wait to get this one on wax. Add much as I absolutely love heavy Gizz, this set is such a killer change of pace and puts me in a great mellow mood. Definitely one of my favorite of the 👢 series so far.

this arrived today, though in a PVC sleeve and pretty warped... thankfully my Michell clamp should help make it playable

I thought for half a second that the first picture was a disc golf disc. 🤣

If I get the time and workspace to get back into dying discs again I may have to try making a stencil of that art! (*though it looks like a level or two above where I was at a couple years ago...)
