In episode #469 of #thedailydoug, I'm listening to music by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard for the first time. And, I found their vibe to be quite infectious! I listened (and played along to) The Dripping Tap from their album Omnium Gatherum, released in early 2022. Come along for a fun ride!

Lost my shit when Doug lit up that bowl to king gizzard! And then turns and plays along on the piano! What a legend!
my thoughts exactly
Was not expecting Doug to bust out the ganja and starting rockin out lol. Killer jam band too, glad he liked em!
Lmao yeah it happens now and then. I was surprised it took him that long this time. First time I saw it caught me off guard.
@@Bobbias I'v watched a bunch of his videos since he started and this is the first I'v seen him partake like that lol. Doug just keeps getting cooler and cooler lol
That killed me 😂😂
i thought this comment was a troll at first!
weird he didnt do this for phish
King Gizzard is hands down the best and most prolific rock band of the last decade, bar none, and I firmly believe they will be remembered for decades after they call it quits. They are also criminally unknown outside of Australia, although this is quickly changing... Just this month they are releasing THREE new albums! Dive in buddy, even if you don't do it on the channel this is one discography you'll want to listen to in its entirety! Most of their songs also include some environmental message...
would disagree about them being criminally unknown outside of aus im an aussie and it seems like their biggest fans are south american and european
@@TheSwordster123 Every single NA show has been sold out for about a year. I suppose the tour was delayed by covid for 3 years however.
Amen. I'm 67, and the Gizz is hands down my favorite band of the 21st century, and maybe ever. Just saw two 3-hour concerts at Red Rocks with my son and my best friend. The first was wonderful--and the second was even more so!!! 😆😆😆
Well I'm a first timer and I digg grabbing my axe and chopAway
@@BringingPsycheBacktoPsychiatry You're a lucky man, going to see them at levitation in Austin at the end of the month!
New King Gizz is out today and it is really great. Super jammy. Welcome to the rabbit hole my man. King Gizz is a true sonic journey.
And two more albums out later this month too.
@@haydechman Wednesday to be exact for the next one 😎
"New King Gizz is out" can be said multiple times a year lol. To all our benefit.
Everyday is a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard day ❤ I wish to Doug do "Dragon" song.
When he pulled out the pipe, instant subscribe 😂😂 I love KGLW so much and any time someone new discovers it it’s like *happy noises*
And I’ve seen them do this song twice, and every time it’s so awesome ambroses like mellow intro then get blasted by that wall of distortion. Their live preform exes are def worth the check out
me too!! i love them so so much it makes me happy seeing people listening to them :D
From the first of April through the summer I must of listened to “The Dripping Tap” a few hundred times. Song of the year for me. Saw them live last night in Seattle. 2 hours of unrelentless sound, lights and fury. My mind and body were still vibrating this afternoon.
Well said, Mr. Sugar!! So glad you got to see them in Seattle last night. To echo your quote from our recent conversation: "one of the most creative and original bands out right now!"
I'm seeing them at red rocks on Monday. I bought the tickets in 2019 lol
Such a good show, they killed it
They opened with the dripping tap down here in the Bay Area. Set was absolutely raw and full of energy.
That's cool as hell! Saw them as space park in Miami earlier this year and I've never had so much adrenaline at a concert before holy shit these guys are on another level
Gizzhead over here and this is my introduction to your channel - loved that you got involved in the spirit of the jam, and some insightful comments afterwards. The Gizzverse has much to offer and I would love to stick around to see you work through it!
Never seen your vids before and just as I was starting to think “I kinda like this guy” you whip out a lil bowl and start noodling on the piano. Instant fan!
Speaking of Myxolydian: Their new album that came out today has a song in each mode. The first of 3 albums to come out in October.
Great to see you've finally listened to King Gizzard! I'd highly recommend listening to the entirety of Nonagon Infinity. Entire album is essentially a garage-punk take on Octavarium
Holy shit that makes so much sense actually
^ Nonagon is probably my favorite of theirs (it's a tough choice, so many masterpieces). I love how thoroughly cohesive it is, a perfect loop from start to finish, weaving themes through every track. Even more unique, tracks even flow beautifully between each other, even when shuffled.
Something I really appreciate about King Gizz, is that all of their albums are, in various ways, concept albums. Sometimes many heavily integrated overt concepts ("Polygonwanaland", and "Ice, death, [...]" Come to mind.), And other times ideas like "Let's make a series of albums on a microtonal scale". Always so much to explore, and (for me) often a doorway to learning super interesting music theory.
As others have mentioned their latest album, which came out today explores the 7 modes. One song in each mode.
But wait there’s more! They’ve put out records exploring microtonal tuning, jazz, thrash metal, prog, synth pop/rock, an infinitely looping album, spaghetti western spoken word and more.
Best band on the planet right now. I think you’ll love them, Doug. Check out Crumbling Castle from polygondwanaland, proggy goodness.
Oh and they’re putting out another new record on Tuesday and a third (this month) on the 28th.
Could you explain the mode thing to me a bit more?
@@AyyyGabagool look up music theory modes or Greek modes and you should find all the special scales that have their own unique flavors outside of major and minor. Hope this helps and hope I’m right.
KGLW is one of my favorite bands ever and I don't even look up to them putting out new music cause... they just do lol
And yeah, they seem to be doing EVERYTHING that crosses their mind and pretty much nailing it every time. I feel like this is one of those bands that, if you're a musician too, will absolutely BLOW YOUR MIND.
@@Zer0Spinn They are indeed a musician's band. Btw, Trey Anastasio of Phish is also a superfan.
New album is gas
I think this was a peek into a deep rabbit hole for me. Gonna go explore their music. Maybe I should leave a note for my wife in case I disappear for a while 😃.
a rabbit hole? more like a whole warren. can you afford divorce?
Welcome! You’re gonna get hooked for sure. These guys are incredible and have such a diversified sound. Definitely see them live sometime if you get the chance!
Been six months now, how did gizztober treat ya? 😂
Oh my God, this is so good! This was my first listen, too. Thank you Doug and everyone that got you to listen. And they have a huge back catalogue to explore.
Woooo! Welcome to one of the best musical journeys I've ever taken in my life. It's good to have you aboard!
they release about three albums a year
@@ethanwork764 *month
check out nonagon infinity, quarters, polygondwanaland, and infest the rats nest
best band in the world. so many great albums. you're in for a treat.
As a KGLW fan who found this, I loved this! Your style is great. I would love to see you react to more of their discography. They've done SO many genres.
Wow! The best band that I have heard in a long while! So fresh, so new. A long, neverending feeling of a non stopping conclusion. A great mesh of different genre's into one. The lyrics are a hoot!
They’re on tour right now. See if they stop in a city near you
They played nearly 4 hours at Red Rocks on October 11th, it was a "Marathon Set" and that was an understatement. Played music from nearly all of their albums, all in one show. They did this "Marathon Set" 2 days in a row, October 10th & 11th. These guys are musicians musicians. That show has no peer that I know of, and I'm confident no other band has the talent, endurance, or desire to do anything like what they did. This band will be discussed by musical teachers in a few years. Genuinely, there may not be another band like them now or ever and I'm so grateful. I met them the very next night (October 12th) in Denver at Marquis Theatre, where another Australian band, The Babe Rainbow, was playing. Both bands are buds, and to see Ambrose, Joey, and Cavs there and shake their hands was wild. They were down to Earth and gracious. These guys can't be stopped.
I got to see them at Red Rocks too! Rattlesnake live is still one of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced
They are the band I've always wanted to happen.
Babe rainbow, king gizz and psychedelic porn crumpets are my favourite bands and I can’t believe you went to a show with both babe rainbow and gizz. Man, would’ve been an unreal time
How appropriate! They released a new album just today! One of three albums this month! These guys never sleep, I tell ya!
It’s so damn good. Gave it two listens already. They are prolific and in my opinion they nail it every time. The opening track Mycelium is just such a vibe.
@@domenicgalata1470 Mycelium is soooooooo fun. I'm really feeling Lava right now. The close to that track is so cool.
@@aaronrice4607 lava is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard basically about worshipping a volcano. It's amazing.
@@kyles5513 Absolutely! I also love that it has a tangential connection to some of the themes on Infest the Rat's nest in terms of the volcano and self immolation. King Gizz is amazing.
@@aaronrice4607 they sure are, man
I saw this live and I will never forget that moment, this guys know how to do a show.
Saw them in march this year in Melbourne just before they took for the world tour. They debuted magenta mountain, dripping tap and I think one or two others from the album. Can’t remember, few too many drinks. It’s was a 3 hour set and they only had a 15 minute break halfway through. Most intense fucking show ever, they have set the bar for modern day artists way too high. They’re killing it left right and centre
I wasn't initially a fan of this song, but hearing it live was transformative. Amazing live band
@@cinejourneys watch their magenta mountain live from timeland. That’s the show I went to, the solo was nuts and the cameraman goes into the crowd during it, everyone’s energy speaks for itself
It must be fun to play in this band. They blend all those styles into a positive jamming energy.
Hey Doug It looks like you’re diving into a HUGE band. They just released an album a yesterday and it’s the first of 3 THIS MONTH. I think I would wait to do Nonagon as one continuous listen as it is well, and infinitely connected album. But there’s so much here including jazz, polyrhythms, and microtonal music! Iron Lung is a great song off this brand new album!
Gonna be honest nonagon is kinda overrated. The individual songs aren’t as strong as most of their other albums and the perfect loop only works by basically having a sort of interlude between songs. A more perfect infinite loop album is mercurial world by Magdalena bay.
Nonagon infinity opens the door for most gizzlords (me included) but dripping tap is a pretty great introduction too
Dude I'm soooooo excited you're getting into them. They have such a phenomenal catalog and I would LOOOOOVE to see you get into some of their microtonal albums like "Flying Microtonal Banana", "K.G." or my favorite "L.W. "
They're also releasing THREE albums in the next month or so (one just came out Friday).
I'm a huge gizz fan and this was my intro to your videos. Definitely checking out some more
Super excited you've gotten to Gizz, just saw them live last night for the third time since 2018 and they absolutely killed it. Their whole discography is super diverse, but judging by your reactions on the channel in general the album Polygondwanaland will absolutely blow your mind.
I'm curious what a composer would think of their microtonal stuff. "Minimum Brain Size" is an unreal tune. It seems like everyone is on a different time signature but it comes together so nicely. The bassline blows my mind every time.
Welcome to the Gizzverse. 🖖
Gonna double this one up. Would love to see a Minimum Brain Size reaction!
It’s not really microtonal music. He altered a few tones that’s it. It sounds cool but its just a gimmick, like the 7 modes thing. Composers and musicians have been doing that stuff since forever.
do every song by this band please
Yes!! ive been so hoping you would check these guys out. They use a lot of odd times, polymeter, and microtonality. Definitely one of my favorite bands right now
KGLW has become a big favorite of mine since I stumbled into their work 3 or 4 years ago. My favorite thing about them???? No matter the genre they decide to delve into, they do a really fantastic job with it. I'm going to see them live in New Orleans at the end of October and I absolutely can't wait for the experience.
Murder of the Universe is a great album by them. It has that 60s Freakbeat sound.
Lord of Lightning is great.
Crumbling Castle is another great tune
This Thing is awesome.
So many good songs
I’m a fan, though I must confess I’ve only listened to perhaps a quarter of KGLW’s ever growing discography. Keep exploring!
@@cinejourneys Worth it tbh
@@cinejourneys do it
I did myself the disservice of waiting forever to listen through their whole discography. There’s great stuff on albums like Willoughby’s Beach and Float Along and Oddments, which I took forever to get around to.
These lads live just down the road from me in Brunswick East, Melbourne. One of the most prolific, creative bands out there!
What the fuck is in the water down there ? KG&TLW , Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Tropical Fuck Storm, POND , Tame Impala , Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Confidence Man have been a huge part of playlists I’ve been listening to incessantly.
Their base is in Brunswick East, but most of them live in Reservoir. A few months ago I saw Stu and Eric Moore walking down High St. Thornbury.
My first exposure to KGLW..yeah, I don't get out much..they're good. Thanks Doug, and crew!
Dang bro you killed it on the keys with no effort you mad man! Making me want to pick up my guitar
They are a great band! If you liked that, you are in for a treat. A prolific output of great music.
Definitely react to the album Polygondwanaland. It's one of the weirdest, most unique LPs I've ever heard. You'll definitely love it
It's KGLW's best record as well. Quickly has become one of my favorite albums of all time. Such a trip.
Ugh polygondwanaland is so good but I can’t pick a best album like petrodraconic is so good so is I fest the rats nest and nonagon and I’m in your mind fuzz like omg how can you even pick a best gizz album
King G is currently on tour playing mega long 3+ hour sets with the goal to play every song from their first 15 albums but not repeat a single one the entire tour. ;)
Buddy of mine from work just saw them in San Fran and is going to Red Rock to catch them next.
All outdoor gigs, I believe.
You FINALLY got on the KGLW train!! Time to feature Infest the Rats Nest on a Metal Monday!!
They started a three hour marathon show in Berkeley with this jam. They are the best performers I’ve ever seen!
Apparently this was a jam they would warm up with everytime they met up to record. When they got out of lockdown, after 2 yrs and could finally see each other again it was the first thing they recorded.
I like your interpretation of the meaning of the song. I've never thought about that and it does make a lot of sense. but I think there's also a more literal meaning in this, you see, these guys have dealt with envoiremental themes time and time again (see fishing for fishies, rat's nest or some songs like if not now then when or straws in the wind)
so I think there's some of it in this, "the dripping tap" is also a literal tap, that makes the sea levels rise and suits in charge of the world won't turn it off
Andddd you've got yourself a new fan, love the vibes my dude and much love to King Gizz n' the Liz!🙌🏽
Happy you are here!
Yes Doug! Choose any KGLW album, you will not be disaapointed
Pssss listen to Nonagon Infinity or Flying Microtonal Banana hihi
Or Infest the Rat's Nest and Murder of the Universe!
You NEED to do the Nonagon Infinity Album by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. THE ENTIRE ALBUM. No question. One song will NOT do it justice. All the King Gizz albums have a concept or a theme. Nonagon Infinity is a never ending album, you can loop and it will never end. in other words, it's 1 BIG SONG you can loop forever.
Pretty sure you would enjoy their newest album. 7 songs in all 7 modes of the western music scale.
Welcome to the Gizzverse. A lot to dig through but they are so worth it. Amazing band.
I recommend you to listen to their microtonal explorations and odd time signatures.
I can't thank the youtube algorithm enough for making me discover this madness! One day I was listening distractedly and then a strange feeling came over me... the title of the album was Microtonal flying banana, it was pretty clear that this band is really amazing!
Glad to see you and Giz have found each other. I liked how you interpreted the lyrics but wanted to share that the band is known for their environmentalist lyrics and this song is generally thought to be about not acting (it not turning off the dripping tap) on all the things we could be doing to slow, stop, or reverse climate change. I think it applies individually and definitely in a corporate level (the suits in charge of the world).
So yes you can let your hair down and rock out to this one, but the lyrical content is actually quite heavy when you really take it in. Thanks for your perspective on this track and I hope you get a chance to check out more King Gizzard. Their discography can be initiating but I think you'd like their new album Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava (one song in each Greek Mode), Polygondwanaland (polyrhythmic album), and quarters (chill and jazzy). They also have a Turkish inspired (but not resulting in a Turkish style) microtonal trilogy of albums: Flying Microtonal Banana, KG, & LW
Well let's agree, he totally missed the point. We are slipping.
I hope you react to Crumbling Castle by King Gizzard next time !
yessir! or the whole of Polygondwanaland -- prog Gizzard
Im not really a musican of any sorts but when I discovered this band my life changed. they are incredible, also their lyrics are supposed to live in the same universe, you could listen to some Polyngondwanaland or Nonagon Infinity, both albums are awesome. They also dabble into some microtonal tuning and it gives the music a really nice middle eastern vibe.
Oh yeah, it's time. Just so you know during October they are going to realese 3 albums, 1 just dropped yesterday. They are so awesome, so cool you are reacting to their great music. There's a lot for you to check into this, I can tell it for sure from my experience.
I am glad we all are having a blast.
I think theres close to 20 hours worth of music from King Gizzard
@@DiscreetHobo yeah, I have no doubt about it. Hopefully we'll get Doug to enjoy some more of their energetic rhythm, fantastic lyrics and great musicality.
What are your thoughts on the last realese?
@@andreycamacho5337 love it. Gliese 710 is my favourite track. Ice V is my least liked track. I don't dislike any song. But I love certain tracks more.
New Jam style is great. Can't wait to hear them live. If only KGLW would actually do a show in the UK. 🇬🇧
I'm feeling jealous watching the subreddit seeing everyone's concert footage in the United States
@@DiscreetHobo ice v grooves so hard
@@devon8419 ice V is my least loved track of the album. Idk at some point in the jam. My ears start to tune out and the sounds all melt together
This isn't the case with Magma, or Iron Lung. Idk
King Gizz has a lot of bangers. Too many to make sense. I'd go as far as saying they're the Beatles of our era with a little zappa vibe thrown in there
Literally hard agree. I had the same thoughts
I'd throw some Ween in there as well
@@AyyyGabagool sounds like you guys don’t know anything about the Beatles or Zappa lol
@@timcardona9962 Sounds like you only associate the Beatles and Zappa with Rock as we know it today.
In reality, they were pioneering new and creative sound. That's exactly what Gizzard is doing... except we are still in the "new and creative" period. :)
The Beatles were a boy band that ripped off African American blues musicians without acknowledgement & then QUIT in 1968! 😶
I highly recommend you to try the microtonal albums from KG&LW, it would be a great new experience
Agree if you want to listen to something really different the 24 tone scale really make you listen with truly fresh ears.
Absolutely dripping with talent. Probably one of the very best bands around currently.
Love this band! For me the Polygondwanaland and Quarters akbums are pretty much perfect.
gonna see them live in a week, will be my first concert. I am so excited
Have fun!
Same!
Get wild in the mosh pit and bring a mouth guard
I'll be at the chicago show!
Which Show? I was at Chicago!
This was such a genuine, fun, and entertaining deep dive into what is for many people still an unknown band. Fantastic insight and analysis.
This isn’t even the best song on the album and it gives me goosebumps!
Grim reaper forever!
They don't zig zag. They weave and blend. The song absolutely blew me away when I heard it last May. It was the first of their music I had ever listened to.
It's a tour de force. Instant classic
Greetings from Scotland. King Gizzard is my favourite band of the last few years. I've seen them 5 times and can't wait to see them again. Recently I travelled from Scotland to Munich to see them but they cancelled at the last moment. So many great albums to check out. Look out as well for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Beautify Junkyards, Garcia Peoples, Rose City Band and Widespread Panic. All of these last ones were found during lockdown and helped so much during that horrible time. Cudos and respect for reviewing the Gizzmeisters. You are truly going down the rabbit hole.
I heard this band a couple of years ago (some obscure radio station) driving late at night. They sounded like prog out of the 70s. Cool stuff.
@@DeclannShieldsFilms I forgot to include the word 'band' in my comment.
i just love those australians dudes so much
KG ftw and the sub. I'm hooked, you are the best reaction TH-camr ever. I have never watched a reaction video all the way through and YT hit my feed with your channel and this video because I am a huge YT KGatLW video fan. Doug, you are the coolest. I'm grinning ear to ear and you hit it on the head, "sometimes we just need this..."
Holy shit. First video of yours I’ve seen and lost it when you pulled out a bowl. Subbed!
The description of the Celtic and or ancient sound is exactly what draws me to KGLW. I think of it as very tribal basic bare bones. Spot on with just in the moment good music.
I saw this live last weekend, it was even more incredible than the studio recording. Every time I hear the song now I get brought back to the energy in that room. It was so powerful to hear at the end of the set. No encore, but I don't know how you could ever top this beast of a song for a closer.
I'll be delighted to get your reaction to this music....a modern band that can stand measure to measure with the best advanced rock that has ever been done.
I loved that as a non muso and first time viewer, thank you I have subscribed. All their stuff is pretty nuts but so melodic and engagingly giddy at the same time. I have all their albums on vinyl bar one (Laminated Denim), so approaching 30! The only things more impressive than their productivity is their sheer consistency and ability to ace every genre they attempt.
I think you'll like The River by King Gizzard. Santana-esque psychedelia.
I just love your reaction to this song, i think it's the first breakdown/reaction to this song i've seen, and it's one of their best songs and your reaction made me love it even more.
Thank you, Doug! (I was one of those emailers you referenced).
Looking forward to more KGLW reviews! This is one of my favorite bands and is IMO the most prolific band in the world. Their new album is really good. Cheers
Here’s David Bennett’s take on their modal album, which is also my favorite th-cam.com/video/gNT1jSbgXDo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lX35O_pTpxkjm6b3
No way this dude smoked up and started jammin with them. Love to see it!
I was NOT expecting you to pull the stanky out hahahah!! Legend!
Doug saved by very soul and didn't even know he did.
This is the first song I heard from them too, just a couple months ago. Now I own twelve of their vinyl. It's a dangerous rabbit hole.
LETS GOOO! I cannot BELIVE I’m seeing them live on Halloween NIGHT!! 🤘🏾
First time I've seen 3 things in one of your videos. Gizzard, Mary Jane, and the keyboard. I love all of them. Keep going skro, I personally, dig it.
i just saw these guys live, best show ive been too in a looong time! energy was insane! love the video man lmao as soon as you took a hit i liked and subscribed xD
I'm so happy you discovered king gizz, it's just the beginning my guy. I'm excited to know what you think about all the other stuff from them.
Thanks for the video Doug. King Gizzy is an absolute juggernaut of sound and experience. They are prolific beyond my understanding and they span most forms of modern music with their own unique sound and style. They are the most amazing and unforgettable band I've seen play live.
Glad to be a part of your life because you are interesting and intelligent and I love reviews of my favorite bands. I just discovered King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and just watched your review of The Dripping Tap. It was also my first time hearing the song, which was excellent. Anyway I just discovered this band this week and I am going to listen to their other works ( 20 albums worth) because they are refreshing to hear. I think you would enjoy the studio version of The Iron lung with the accompanying video. To me it looks like what you might imagine under the influence of good acid Anyway check it out and let us all know how you like and interpret it
As a long time Gizz fan, I always get excited when people discover their sound. You should definitely check out their microtonal stuff like Sleep Drifter, Pleura, or O.N.E.
even now this song is just so much hype
Blew off Dave Matthews in 1996 when they opened for Neil and The Horse.
I went and played golf first to kill some time so I wouldn't have to sit through Dave Matthews. Timed it up perfectly and walked in just as Neil started playing Hey Hey My My.
I will never forget the look on the faces of those thousands of Dave Matthews fans sitting in their seats with gaping mouths, totally stunned and amazed at the awesomeness of Neil Young and the boys.
Nothing to do with King gizzard but he mentioned Dave Matthews and I don't believe that they should be mentioned in the same breath.
5:42 That driving sound is the motorik beat, the sound of Krautrock.
18:10 wait till you hear nonagon infinity! this band is truly unrelentless! appriciate choice of words : )
The opening part of this song is insane. Such a timeless vibe. The long jam sesh after it is cool, but I really wish they fleshed out the beginning more....
King Gizzard And The Lizzard Wizard fan new to your TH-cam channel . Appreciate your take on this song . This band is insanely diverse and technically brilliant.
"It's Friday, I'm gonna partake" *Doug rips bowl* *me* YEAHHH!!!!!! ~we both start dancing along in unison~ *me, tears of joy flowing* Goddamn it this is the greatest band in the world right now
The album I highly recommend is Nonagon Infinity. That album is the perfect intro to what this band can do. A 9 song album that is technically one never ending song. As always keep up the great reactions.
I just can't get over the variety KGatLW have to offer. Their recent release, 'Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava' has blown me away in a crazy jazzy funky - yet definitely uniquely Gizz-y - way.
First time I heard anything from them. I immediately got a Hawkwind vibe.
They are definitely influenced by Hawkwind, they have a narrative sci-fi concept album that includes a song titled Lord of Lightning.
They've also covered hawkwind during soundchecks
@@devon8419 I am not surprised...
First time watching you’re videos…. Glad to see you enjoyed King Gizz, they’re one hell of a trip
I like this guy, at least he does not stop the music when he makes a comment.
So happy you have discovered the gizzverse!
These guys are hands down the most interesting thing in new music.
You should really dig in deeper, these guys love to get nerdry with wacky music theory concepts that you would love
Their Murder of the Universe was the most amazing psychodelic piece I’ve ever heard.
I went to a KGLW concert in Amsterdam a few months back, i expected them to start with some shorter, lesser known songs to get the crowd warmed up like i am used to with other bands, and i was hoping they would play the dripping tap as the big finale or something.
What a fool i was.
There was no warm up, no boring less popular songs, they started with the dripping tap, and when the drop at 5:33 happened the entire crowd just erupted, which they kept up for 2 hours straight, only interupted by the mosh pit sitting down and rowing for a song.
KGLW and it's fans are insane and i love it, 10/10 One of the best bands that give the best concerts.
nice! if you loved this you should check one of the new tracks from the album that came out yesterday. Ice V, Iron Lung, Hells Itch and Magma are standouts for sure
Great video, please give their latest album a listen!! :) Each song is written in a different mode! My personal favorites are Iron Lung and Magma, but every song has so much to unpack and love about it. They have another new record coming out Tuesday, AND another album coming out near the end of October!! I'd love to hear more of your takes!
Magenta Mountain and Keppler-22b are also great songs off the album.
Just got this album on vinyl, and I love it. Been listening to the album while cycling, and Dripping Tap is a great tune to get the energy going. But the vinyl sounds amazing.
Can’t wait to see them in Chicago in June, ‘23!
I've listened to a lot of King Gizzard, but this one is new to me and I love it. They have a talent for extended jamming that doesn't get boring, and they don't let themselves be confined to any narrow genres.
SO this song is directly about climate change. That is a huge thing about King Gizzard, they are super into climate change. The beginning lyrics are kind of a call to action.
"This Dripping Tap won't be turned off by the suits in charge of the world,
This Dripping Tap won't be turned off by the gods up above us"
So the people in charge won't save us, religion won't save us, the planet is dying and we will die with it.
"Drip Drip from the Tap dont slip,
Blankets over my skin
Wish I learned how to swim"
"A familiar sound ignored,
The compartmentalized thoughts,
Get complacent and get bored,
That Drip Drip on the floor,
Don't get drowned,
Heed that sound"
So while I absolutely LOVE your interpretation,
The song itself is actually very passionate and adamant in its message.

Listen to more of their stuff, it's truly great!
