King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

On June 6, 2018, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard rocked the KEXP studio with a live rendition of 'Crumbling Castle.' This performance came just after the release of their ambitious album 'Gumboot Soup,' which dropped in late 2017. Interestingly, 'Gumboot Soup' was a culmination of several sessions and even served as a sort of compilation, blending various musical styles that the band explored throughout the year. The band's constant experimentation, coupled with their relentless output, makes live performances like this one particularly exhilarating. They took listeners on a wild ride, showcasing their distinct fusion of psych rock and progressive elements, while still keeping that raw, energetic spirit that defines their live shows. The KEXP recording is a perfect snapshot of where they were as creators—always pushing boundaries and challenging expectations.
