King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

In June 2017, when King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard took the stage at Glastonbury, they were riding high after the release of their album 'Flying Microtonal Banana', which had come out just a few months earlier. This marked a significant shift in their sound, embracing a distinct use of microtonal tuning and showcasing their innovative approach to music. Known for their prolific output, the band has released several albums in quick succession, but it's fascinating that 'Flying Microtonal Banana' was the first to feature this unique tuning. The performance of 'Sleep Drifter' at Glastonbury illustrates their ability to meld complex musical ideas with engaging live energy, making it a standout moment in their career, further solidifying their reputation as a leading experimental band. Plus, performing at such a legendary festival surely added an exhilarating thrill to their set.
