King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

On May 11, 2012, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard electrified the audience at the Rozelle Hotel in Sydney, delivering a performance that was raw and energetic. Leading up to this live recording, the band had just released their debut album, '12 Bar Bruise', in 2012, showcasing their unique blend of garage rock, psychedelia, and other eclectic elements. This album laid the groundwork for the band's sound, which would evolve dramatically in the years to come. Interestingly, their live shows during this early phase were a melting pot of improvisation and experimentation, foreshadowing the ambitious musical journeys that they would embark on later in their career. The energy captured in 'Bloody Ripper' is a perfect glimpse into a band that was quickly defining its identity and setting the stage for their prolific output.
