Consider the Source awakened me to heavier music with middle eastern influence about five years ago. Today, I was listening to their album World War Trio Part 1 and realized how much they had primed me for Gizz. They describe themselves as Sci-Fi Middle Eastern Fusion.
Their newer stuff is great but this is what got me thinking about the King Gizz connection.
Earth Tongue:
Some very solid and very fuzzy heavy psych from New Zealand. These guys have been opening for QOTSA recently.
New Parsnip is great:
These guys played Gizzfest and have opened for Gizz a bit. Fun, wonky, psych-pop four piece.
PUFF is a uni band from NSW who have just put out a good debut album:
Solid lo-fi garage psych/punk with plenty of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets/ORB/early Gizz vibes.
A buddy recently turned me on to this Swiss outfit called Fomies. Definitely got the Gizz vibe.
Not sure if its just because I know Flight b741 is coming, but Iām really just discovering the Allman Brothers Band properly these last few weeks:
The consistency with the jamming is incredible.
Have you heard Eat a Peach yet? I may or may not have developed a personal, feral religion around āMountain Jam.ā
Haha yep that was the pick for today. Iām think Iām ready to join it, my partner even heard a snippet of Mountain Jam and wasnāt offended by the length.
I absolutely love seeing posts like this!!! Check out Brothers and Sisters itās my favorite studio allmanāsā¦.
Reviving this thread for The Mystery Lights:
Iāve just discovered them and then found out they shared a couple of bills with King Gizz in 2014! Real authentic pastiche of the late 60s Nuggets sound.
Just discovered this Australian band Tug:
Perhaps a bit Gizz derivative, but they pull it off well.
