It’s been exactly 1 year since this rockin’ night with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard at College Street Music Hall in New Haven, CT. Sadly, they haven’t been able to make it back to the States, and I’ve sure missed having the chance to revel in the power of their live performance since.
I like to hit shows with my camera when I can, as I enjoy photography and videography, and love the music, so it’s a fun mix for me. This footage is a compilation of the video I took that night, mostly from the front row of the balcony. The camera audio isn’t great, and not surprisingly got blown out a bit by the sheer power of the sound, but I cleaned it up as best I can. I dig trying to capture quality audio as well, but I didn’t have any separate device with me that night. Definitely a fun look back on one of the shows from the killer Summer 2019 tour, and in 4k!
Thanks for stopping by! If you dig this, you might enjoy some of my original music on this site, including my 2 solo albums, Break The Code (2018) and SYZYGY (2020) and a few videos embedded here. Also, check out more King Gizzard photos from Brooklyn Steel 2018 and Webster Hall 2017 below. Hope you enjoy the photos, videos, and music. Keep rockin’!

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard pulled into Brooklyn for 3 nights back in June. I was psyched for this run, having seen them last year at Webster Hall. King Gizzard is a killer live band, and these shows did not disappoint. Brooklyn Steel, which hosted the run, was a suitable venue for the band, providing a spacious stage space and good sound and sight lines throughout the venue.
Highlights included blistering versions of Muddy Water, Evil Death Roll, and Crumbling Castle. On night two, the band treated the audience with a rare rendition of Head On/Pill. NYC taper captured audio of the second night which you can download here. These guys from Australia are the hottest live band playing currently. After releasing 5 albums last year, this year they’re putting in some quality time on stage and honing their live show. I took these photos across all 3 nights.
Back in March, while riding my stationary bike, I was listening to The Goddamn Dave Hill Show on WFMU and sweating to a song that I did not know… at some points I thought it sounded like some of the notes of the melody were out of tune, but in a way that seemed to work. It was a song called Sleep Drifter off of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s 9th studio LP “Flying Microtonal Banana”. This band has 9 albums out? I had not heard of them, but I was highly intrigued. King Gizzard is from Australia, and on this album they employed microtonal guitars, which is why some of the notes sound ‘out of tune’. This is my favorite album of the year so far, and word is the band has four more to put out this year. I really dig the dark guitar riffs, double drums, and the overall sound of the record. After hearing the one song, I checked out a bunch of their albums and was really impressed by what I heard and the diversity of their sound. I saw they were playing Webster Hall the next week, so I had to check it out. Here are some photos I took at the show…
I also recommend checking out the albums I’m In Your Mind Fuzz, Nonagon Infinity, and if you like a more acoustic sound Paper Mâché Dream Balloon is a fantastic album. While they seem to be developing a signature sound, they also cross a lot of boundaries. Here are a couple of my favorite tracks/albums…
