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.
This one hasnāt left my head for the last 6 months, there is something weirdly gizz about it:
Haha quite a video! I kind of loved that. Definitely going to check out more of Foxwarrenās music.
I like the music a lot. That video thoughā¦
YO any vancouver, bc peeps should for sure check out āchopping spreeā they put on a crazy fuckin live show and do the multi genre thing. ive lurked on this forum for a while now but i had to make an account to spread the word cuz like holy shit theyre nuts. check their bandcamp like seriously I cannot reccomend enough
Different style (for now), but a nice mix of grunge, hardcore, shoegaze, metal, punk, art rock and at times prog rock. Fans of āInfest the Rat Nestā or āPetrodragonic Apocalypseā will probably like it. Will be interesting which paths theyālll decide to follow. Those girls have a lot of energy.
I havenāt been back to this thread since the general discovery/rise of Doom Gong
So, whatās the best Khruangbin album to start with?
Iād go with this one. Itās what got me hooked.
Iāll try it ā thanks!
