Bio

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (stylisé King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) est un groupe musical australien, originaire de Melbourne. Le groupe est constitué de Stu Mackenzie (en), Ambrose Kenny-Smith (en), Cook Craig (en), Joey Walker (en), Lucas Harwood (en) et Michael Cavanagh (en). Un second batteur, Eric Moore (en), a aussi géré et joué au sein de la formation jusqu'en 2020.

Le groupe est réputé pour ses performances scéniques énergiques et sa production musicale abondante et hétéroclite, ayant réalisé 27 albums depuis 2012, et parfois au rythme de cinq par année, comme en 2017 et en 2022. Avec des débuts aux sonorités mêlant surf music, rock psychédélique, musique microtonale, heavy metal et garage rock, leurs productions plus récentes mélangent encore davantage d'influences : rock progressif, folk, jazz, soul, métal industriel.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard (KGLW) are an Australian rock band formed in 2010 in Melbourne, Victoria. The band's current lineup consists of Stu Mackenzie (vocals, guitar, flute), Ambrose Kenny-Smith (vocals, harmonica, keyboards, saxophone), Cook Craig (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Joey Walker (guitar, vocals), Lucas Harwood (bass, vocals), and Michael Cavanagh (drums, vocals). They are known for exploring multiple genres, staging energetic live shows, and building a prolific discography.

The band's early releases blended surf music and garage rock and were released on their label, Flightless. They released several psychedelic rock albums in the early 2010s, and incorporated a broader range of musical styles later in the decade, such as jazz fusion on Quarters! and the folk-inspired Paper Mâché Dream Balloon. In 2016, they generated more mainstream attention with Nonagon Infinity, which won the ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album.

Noted for their prolific discography, in 2017 the band fulfilled a promise to release five studio albums within the calendar year, and also marked the beginning of a trilogy of microtonal albums with Flying Microtonal Banana. Subsequent releases integrated heavy metal, synth-pop, and progressive rock, and feature lyrics that address environmental themes and a connected fictional universe termed the "Gizzverse" by fans.

Alien Metal, their 28th studio album, was surprise released 14 August 2026.
