I have been seeing King Gizzard since 2016, and it’s always been a bit of a headscratcher why more of my local music friends aren’t as obsessed with the band as I am. I was talking to some of them the other day and people were lamenting the fact that the only Bay Area show this year is on a Monday at the Frost. The most recent Northern California show was Oct 2022 at the Greek, which was a Sunday. I just looked back at all of the shows I’ve seen in Northern California, and only one of them has been on a Friday or Saturday, the June 2018 show at the Warfield. The other 11 NorCal shows they have played since May 2016 have all been Sunday to Thursday.
I’ll be there regardless of the day of the week, but boy they could win over so many news fans in the Bay Area by blowing up the Fox in Oakland on a Friday and Saturday. I hope that this happens next year. We are overdue.
