King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: The River Live Performance at WFUV

Venue: WFUV Location: New York, NY, United States Date: September 15, 2015

In September 2015, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard were truly in their creative groove, having just released their album 'Paper Mâché Dream Balloon' a few months prior. This album marked a departure from their earlier, more psychedelic rock sound, veering into mellow territory with a folk-inflected vibe. It's fascinating to note that this live recording from WFUV showcases the band's experimental nature, capturing the raw energy and spontaneity that they’re known for. With 'The River' being a standout track, the performance reflects their unique ability to blend genres while engaging the crowd. At this point in their career, King Gizzard was pushing boundaries, eager to explore new sonic landscapes, setting the stage for the prolific releases that would follow in the next few years.
