Is there one singular song that best charts the course of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard? If so, then I think it may be “The River”. The tune was conceived during downtime of one of the band’s most important and intense periods during their first US visit, when they had just played 14 shows in 22 days while driving from Texas to New York and settled for a month to jam in a cabin in the woods.

Ten Years Of Nonagon Infinity

Has it really been a decade? The traditional gift for a ten-year anniversary is aluminum, but you'll have to settle for an in-depth blogpost from KGLW.net song historian and contributor extraordinaire, TimelandIsWacky. Join us as he examines the evolution of King Gizzard's endlessly-looping opus, Nonagon Infinity, from the earliest appearances of its melodies and themes, to the album's iconic music videos, to its impact on the King Gizzard projects that followed.

While 2026 is looking to be a somewhat slower year for King Gizzard with a handful of U.S. shows and some dates in Australia, we at KGLW.net have been hard at work on some big updates across our site. There’s changes across the board, from our setlist database to our social media accounts, and we’re excited to give you a sneak peek at what’s to come this year!

In Orbit: the Effects Of Hawkwind’s Gravity on King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

Gizzverse characters and symbols in the style of Hawkwind's Masters of the Universe cover art

Spacedate 200023.006.013, System: Sol, Planet: Earth (Chicago, Illinois, United States of America). For the third day running, this swarm of friendly yet frenzied hominids has gathered in the chilly rain to scratch their collective sonic itch with a traveling group of musicians known as King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. As you stand apart, observing that the inhospitable conditions of this planet seem to have little effect on the bipedal celebrants as they line up before the performance to barter for a foamy, grain-based potion known as "beer," familiar words ring out from a nearby amplification device, sending a shock through your cortex...

Nice V, Vol. 3: Bullant

Of all of the amazing non-Gizzard projects, I think Bullant is the one that surprises me the most. The house/techno project of Joey, Bullant has given us two studio albums, eight non-album singles, and two short films done in collaboration with PHC Films so far. It’s a project that has always been grounded in reality with an unflattering look at the seedy side of Melbourne life. Drugs, violence, sex.

Pushing Boundaries — and Song Lengths: the Fall '25 Rave Shows, By the Numbers

KGLW raving on stage with awesome lights

Join KGLW.net's own BetweenTheEars as he breaks down the Fall 2025 Rave statistics from Europe, gig by gig, song by song, jam by jam!

In fall 2025, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s long-simmering romance with electronic music culminated in the debut of an entirely new performance format: a series of ten fully electronic, improvisation-heavy “rave shows” spanning two continents and 22 days. Launching on 10/24/25 in Melbourne, Australia and continuing with nine more shows across Europe, the rave series dropped nearly 24 hours of electronic madness for the fanbase to digest (23 hours and 13 minutes, to be specific!).

Nice V, Vol. 2: Top 5 "Deviant Arrangments" From August 2025

Hey everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood setlist nerd @thefourthcolour here with the second installment of the King Gizzette’s monthly Nice V column. Once a month, one of the amazing volunteers from our site will put together five Gizz tracks/shows/whatever (perhaps tangentially related, perhaps not) and write about them. With that said, off we go. My five selections fall under a common theme of August 2025 live performances: songs in a non-“standard” or deviant arrangement from their basic studio form. If that doesn’t make sense, hopefully it will after reading!
