King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard “Nonagon Infinity Live”
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard “Nonagon Infinity Live” 2024. Romanus Records, limited edition Scarlet Holographic splattered red vinyl. A collection of “official bootlegs” from live performances in 2016 and 2019, sourced from KGLW.net. Jammy (but with a punk attitude) psychedelic garage rock. Hypnotic, but brutally and loudly so (that said, I did sleep through an entire Gizzard show in 2018 so the hypnotic part won out). I’m not sure what the rationale for pulling these particular live tracks for this collection was, but it’s great. I particularly like “Gamma Knife” and the “Evil Death Roll/Invisible Face” mashup from the Levitation festival in 2016 (which technically was canceled due to storms but a bunch of the bands ended up playing clubs around Austin that weekend). Of personal interest are the two tracks recorded at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee in 2019: “Wah Wah” and “Road Train” (not the show we were at but I heard it was pretty epic). That entire show can be found here.
Daily (maybe) pulls from the vault: 33-1/3, 45, 78, old, older, classic, new, good, bad. Subjective. Autobiographical. Occasionally putting a record up for sale.
