Jason Galea 0 Jason is the primary visual artist for the group, who in turn consider him a de-facto member of the band. He works in many formats and mediums including paint, digital illustration, animation, and sculpture; producing all the album artworks for the band as well as most music videos, merch designs, tour posters and live visuals. He founded the Zonk Vision audio/visual collective and thereby discovered the band around the same time as they were forming — as a skater, he knew Ambrose through their local skateboard scene.
Eric Moore 569 Eric began in the band as the secondary drummer, usually playing live in unison with Cavs, and rarely recorded for the studio material. He is the founder and director of Flightless Records, who published the band’s material for nearly ten years, and also managed the band up until August 2020 when he departed the group to focus on the label full time.
Sam Joseph 0 Sam is the band’s dedicated touring sound technician. Better known as ‘Boogieman Sam’, he is the subject of the song of the same name from Fishing For Fishies and often receives a shout-out from the band during performances (most famously during the Chunky Shrapnel live album, when Stu can be heard crowd surfing across the audience to deliver him a beer). He also plays Pedal Steel on their 26th Album, Flight b741.
John Angus Stewart 0 John is the director of PHC Films, a visual production company and record label based on Melbourne. He has directed several of the band’s music videos and most notably the concert film Chunky Shrapnel, as well as released some of the band members solo music projects on his accompanying independent label.
Jamie Wdziekonski 0 Jamie is the dedicated band photographer, who produces much of their press material and shoots various live performances. He has a highly distinct style — mostly black and white images with a signature heavy film grain. He has a book published documenting the band’s 2019 Europe tour, Chunky; and is an employee of PHC Films.
Paul Maybury 0 Paul Maybury is a recording Engineer associated with A Secret Location recording studio in Melbourne. He recorded and mixed King Gizzard’s early material up until I’m In Your Mind Fuzz, and mentored Stu in these processes to the point where he now carries them out himself.
