**King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Are Changing What a Rock Band Can Be: ‘We Can Just Do What We Do And Not Think Twice’**
Australian psychedelic rock group King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is rewriting the rules of what a rock band can be. By consistently pushing boundaries and defying expectations, they’re revolutionizing the way we experience live music.
Their latest endeavor, an inaugural three-day camping festival called Field of Vision, speaks to their innovative approach. The event, which takes place in Buena Vista, Colo., will feature not only King Gizzard’s own performances but also sets from like-minded artists such as Babe Rainbow and White Fence. “I want to feel like I’m just hanging on,” vocalist Stu Mackenzie says of the band’s goal. “That’s the feeling we’re chasing.”
This approach is nothing new for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, who have always been driven by a desire for experimentation and creative freedom. Their discography boasts an eclectic mix of psychedelic rock, funk, and classical music, with each album showcasing their unique ability to blend genres seamlessly.
The band’s live shows are just as unpredictable and thrilling, featuring different setlists every night and incorporating extensive improvisation. It’s this sort of boldness that has garnered them a devoted following known as the Weirdo Swarm, who follow the band from show to show and craft memes online. Fans can even record their own vinyl pressings of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s music.
Their visuals are also an integral part of the experience. Artist Jason Galea designs all the band’s trippy album artwork and tour posters, as well as the graphics used during their performances. “He’s like the seventh member of the band,” vocalist Stu Mackenzie notes.
