King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – Down At The Front

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Dronningen

A double header formed the backbone of my weekend walk. With a stroll up to the Moth club from Kings Cross for the matinee performance by King Gizzard and the Lizard wizard followed by a walk down to Deptford via the Greenwich tunnel, for a in-store gig by Dronningen. Both great shows.

Tonight was a last minute gig for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at the Lexington. It was added as warm up for their Electric Ballroom gig. Having just arrived in the country I wasn’t expecting the gig to last long. They even warned us that they were still a bit jet lagged. But in all honesty, I think these guys derive their energy from playing music. Like they needed a warm up gig! It was great to see them in a small venue rather than the Electric Ballroom. The enthusiastic crowd were quickly crowd surfing and the band played song after song, eventually asking the audience for songs to play. Nothing seemed to phase them, happy to play songs that they hadn’t played for some time. Eventually the sound guy cut them off. I think they would have probably played all night if they could. Top quality evening.

King Gizzard put in a fantastic performance at Scala. Energetic and intense.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at Rough Trade

I’m not sure Rough Trade was the best place to catch the expansive songs of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard but unfortunately I was unable to make their recent London shows due to previous engagements. They’re an Aussie band who peddle some good old fashioned psychedelia, with the ability to turn a three minute song into a ten minute trip. Despite the venue it was a really enjoyable set. But I’d wish I’d managed to catch their recent Shacklewell Arms show.

Due to lack of space, the two drummer played at the front. I found it really interesting watching the way the two drummers played off each other

No space for the bassist.
