King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is an Australian rock band renowned for their dynamic, experimental sound and prolific output. Formed in 2010 in Melbourne, the band consists of Stu Mackenzie (vocals, guitar), Ambrose Kenny-Smith (harmonica, keyboards), Joey Walker (guitar), Cook Craig (bass), Lucas Skinner (keyboards), and Michael Cavanagh (drums). Known for their eclectic genre-spanning music, they have dabbled in psychedelic rock, garage rock, heavy metal, and even elements of jazz and folk. The band's relentless creativity is evident in their ambitious release schedule; they are famous for dropping multiple albums within a year, all with distinct styles and themes.

Their recent discography showcases their unceasing drive to push the boundaries of their sound. For example, the science fiction odyssey "Omnium Gatherum," reveals a depart from more grounded projects, while "Made In Timeland" and "Butterfly 3000" drift into more synthesizer-heavy and melodic realms. Albums like "K.G." and "L.W." stand as testaments to their constant evolution, echoing their earlier psychedelic works yet marked by growth and sophistication. Renowned for their energetic and engaging live performances, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard has amassed a global following, earning them a distinctive place in the modern rock scene. Their extensive, diverse catalog, along with a commitment to environmental issues — pressing limited releases on eco-friendly materials — establishes them not only as musicians but also as innovators and environmental advocates within the music industry.
