When I saw this wild 12 second clip of a King Gizzard show this week in Australia I was reminded of two things — the crazy show we saw on Halloween and the fact that I had not posted it yet. When I talked about the Gizz in a two-show post a few weeks ago, I noted the amazing energy of their shows coming both from the stage and from the crowd. This clip encapsulates it all, and while its a home show we expect the next time that King Gizzard comes to the US (Spring?) the crowds will be equally as crazed. The band’s new album I’m In Your Mind Fuzz is one of the best of year and as their reputation grows, so too will the crowd size and excitement. The crowd for this Halloween show was, we’ll concede, fueled by excessive amounts of stimulants — to the point where a front-row audience member literally fell over onto the stage, knocking down my mics, Stu’s monitor and guitar pedals. It was a temporary glitch in what was an extremely entertaining and simply fun night and not one I will soon forget.
I recorded this set in the same manner as the Tonstartssbandht set from this show and the sound quality is quite excellent. Enjoy!

I just waxed rhapsodic on the Tonstartssbandht set that couples with this performance.
I like this a lot, too. It’s certainly more immediately accessable.
Here the falsetto voice conjures Thee Oh Sees occasionally while in Tonstartssbandht it might be Skip James. They have a great garagey sound and the instrumental density of some of the best paisley underground bands, without sounding like any of them.
There’s incredible energy here. I can’t imagine how intense this show must have been for those lucky enough to attend.
It blows me away that somebody paired two bands that matched so well.
Some of my current favorite stuff – really original and entertaining.
Another great capture, too!
