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.

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

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...

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

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!).

2025 Gizzies — Second Annual KGLW.net Awards

Welcome to the second annual KGLW.net Gizzies!

This year we’ll be releasing the results in a set of five batches over the next five days, all on this very page, so keep your eyes peeled!

2025 was a big year for King Gizzard! While things were quiet on the album front with only one major release, their touring schedule was wild with a second residency tour in Europe, a North American orchestral tour, the band’s inaugural Field of Vision festival, a return to Europe for a split rave/orchestral tour, and the first Australian tour in a few good years! So much happened that we can’t put it all here, but thankfully we have a way of figuring out the cream of the crop. Last year we did our inaugural Gizzies, an end-of-year retrospective trying to find the best of the best. This was a lot of fun to put together and it created a lot of discussion. With that response, a second installment was inevitable. Instead of doing a repeat of last year, however, we’ve made some big changes!

Crack Of Doom: AI Slop and Broken Systems

In December, an AI version of King Gizzard would make its way onto streaming platforms with many outlets reporting on it. What they missed, however, was a rabbit hole of impersonators exploiting antiquated streaming service systems. Join TimelandIsWacky on an exploration of the failings of streaming services to keep artists safe.

EU Residency Infographic

words and infographic by rsprochaska

So what’s this post all about and why should you read it? Well to start, there’s a lot to unpack for a band that streams every show live and releases the subsequent soundboards shortly after, developing an official live catalogue that far exceeds their already elaborate and fantastically excessive studio output. I started tracking live Gizz after my first show at Radius, Chicago in October 2022, contributing to this website in early 2024, and compiled an infographic (link here) for the band’s first fully released tour in North America at the end of last year.

This 2025 European residency tour is my second attempt to visually analyze the musical performance of each show of a certain period in the band’s live history. A link to the full PDF of the infographic is available here.

Anatomy Of a King Gizzard Show

Updated Spring '25 I made this guide to address the tidal wave of new fans attending concerts for perhaps the first time. First, welcome to an incredible band known for out of this world live shows. Its quite a rabbit hole and we're a pretty friendly group. You’re going to have a great time attending live but if I see one more new thread in r/KGATLW asking what a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard concert is like, I swear I’m going to compile all the answers to the common questions into an easily accessible document and publish it for all to read.
Oh wait, that’s exactly what this is.
Before we begin, some disclaimers. I’m from the US and I’ve never been to a major venue or show outside the US. Your mileage will definitely vary elsewhere in the world. Every suggestion I have is just that: a suggestion. Nothing I say should be taken as hard fact and your experience might vary greatly from my written word. DON'T use anything I say in here as justification for your actions and DO take all my advice at your own risk.
And yes, I do go over how to make sure you get a poster.

Seek Electricity: Reflecting on 10/22/22

View from the balcony at Franklin Music Hall on 10/22/22

Singin’ through you to me/thunderbolts caught easily/shouts the truth peacefully/Electricity

My first King Gizzard show was on 10/22/2022 at Franklin Music Hall, just a week after I had purchased the domain KGLW.net. Lightning has crackled through each and every day since. We’re talking about the frenetic energy that makes life exciting, that attracts people across time and space, that powers us to create. This essay is a reflection on the ways that the circuitry has been in place to light up this machine all along. Looking back to my first show, the synchronicity was all there for me to see. So, this is also a prompt for you to consider the lessons you’ve learned and connections you’ve made thanks to this band, whether you recently saw your first show or you’re nearing triple digits.
