Other music to scratch the King Gizzard itch

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 Iā€™m 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 ā€œMountain Jam.ā€

Haha yep that was the pick for today. Iā€™m think Iā€™m ready to join it, my partner even heard a snippet of Mountain Jam and wasnā€™t offended by the length.

Reviving this thread for The Mystery Lights:

Iā€™ve 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.
