King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard live in London (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have told fans to expect ‘a new set, new songs and a whole new visual experience’ when they perform at London’s Alexandra Palace on October 5th.
It’s one of the most high profile gigs of the band’s career to-date, worthy reward for an incredibly prolific run of releases which took in five studio albums during 2017. They’ve just been followed up with a brand new single entitled Cyboogie.
“Earlier this year we started experimenting with a custom microtonal guitar our friend Zak made for Stu,” they said when Flying Microtonal Banana got those five LP releases going in February 2017. “The guitar was modified to play in 24-TET tuning and could only be played with other microtonal instruments. We ended up giving everyone a budget of $200 to buy instruments and turn them microtonal.”
“The record features the modified electric guitars, basses, keyboards and harmonica as well as a turkish horn called a Zurna.”
