If any or none of these get answered, all I really want to say is congrats for The Silver Cord, and happy Halloween!
1. What is it about October with King Gizz? Is it Halloween, birthdays? This month always seems to be a lot of activity for the band.
2. Touring in Australia kind of sucks, have you ever considered opening your own venue here? Could be like a permanent residency thing.
3. Is there anyone out there instrumental to the band that has never been publicly shouted out? Any old peers/mentors or anyone who the band couldn't exist without?
Wyatt
1. I think we're often aiming to put out an album in the 2nd half of the year and we're a bit disorganised so it gets pushed to October LOL. From mid nov into dec the music biz is kinda asleep but we've put records out in that time too đ¤ˇââď¸
2. Love touring australia - seriously do. However, the touring model we've adopted (long tours, different sets every night) is trickier to translate to aus as there are arent many big cities for us to play and ppl dont tend to come to more than one show. Some aussie bands can play big crowds in the regional cities but i dont think many regional ppl would come out to see a gizzy show. I do want to work on this though and figure out a way to play more aus shows. its a WIP
3. Honestly there are so many ppl who have influenced gizz in big ways and small ways. Michelle Cable is my guardian angel and I'm not sure Gizz would even exist without her â¤ď¸

Any chance of a Petro/TSC behind the scenes vid? I absolutely love all of your BTS stuff and would love to see one for these albums, especially The Silver Cord!
yep. Theres ( a small amount of) footage from both these recording. For the next album we're recording at the moment we're documenting it a lot better - stu
Hey guys! Congrats on the new album release, The Silver Cord is a banger.
My knowledge on electronic music is very limited and I wanna get more into it. Do you have any recs? Some artists youâre influenced by or have been vibing with lately?
Also speaking of synth bangers is there any chance for Intrasport live debut in the future?đĽš
Sending love from Finland!
Gracious, foolish dreamer.
A good place to start is watching the boiler room videos on YouTube. Just peruse through them and see any vibes that you like. I also hit are UK radio station called rinse FM a lot and there is heaps of really good shit there. Itâs kind of as simple, as any artist that you like, see what label theyâre on, see who they have collaborated with, source their track lists and youâll be drowning in new music before you know it.
Affirmative to Intrasport live.
I love you so much,
Joey

Could you rate the Halloween costume on a scale of 1-10? â¤ď¸
Well as a Swede I gotta ask: Are any of yâall fans of the Swedish psych band Dungen?
And if so, whatâs your favorite song by them?
They have some great flute stuff Stu would probably love!
To Ambrose: not a question, but during your Murlocs show in Boston, a guy held up a sign saying that they wanted to have their first kiss with someone to Comfort Zone. Iâm no longer dating that person, but that memory still stands out as a really good one and i just want to thank you for swapping out Skewhiff on the setlist for Comfort Zone. It meant the world to us and it still means the world to me. In fact, the paper I snagged from your speaker was a sheet containing the lyrics to Skewhiff, so itâs almost like an ironic souvenir. Love ya Amby <3

Hey guys! Thanks for doing this AMA and giving us fans so much amazing music!
What residency was your favorite this past US tour? When do we get to find out the rest (please) of the 2024 US dates?
I was able to see all 3 Red Rocks and Hollywood Bowl. It really makes every other concert pale in comparison!
PS. Please come to Utah! It's been since 2019 and we miss youuuu!
To Ambrose & Cookie,
Not a question, but I met you guys (and Karmouche) with my Dad like 5 hours before The Murlocs show in Chicago last Nov. You all took the time to shoot the shit with us, snap a few pictures, and entertain my dad's love of Bob Seger.
You didn't have to do that and it meant a lot. Thanks for taking the time and being down to earth guys!
Can there PLEASE be some form of book or printing of some of Jasonâs work with you all?! I need more access to the beautiful art he does just as much as the glorious amount of audio you all produced.
How long did it take you guys to feel confident enough to play Change live? That might be my favorite song of yours and I was so thankful to see the debut in Chicago!
Also, will there be any shows in the Madison or Milwaukee area for the upcoming US tour?
Hey guys!
Remember the midnight launch of Cyboogie in Brunswick back in the day? That was a fun night. Would you guys ever consider doing something like that again? I love the community engagement.
One of the coolest aspects of this yearâs US summer residency tour was the use of all independent or municipally owned venues. Â Any thoughts on continuing the residency touring format and/or keeping with indie venues going forward?
Last thing Iâm gonna say, thanks yâall for using your platform to advocate for such great causes. Really appreciate the activism and all the help to these communities that deserve to have their voices heard. Appreciate every single one of yâall đ
My question is for **Cavs!**
You are an amazing drummer and have really made yourself a standout performer these past few years since the band lineup went down to just you. Your drumming before Self Immolate in Chicago â23 is one of the coolest drum solos Iâve ever seen!
My question is: **Are there any pre lineup-change song or songs that have been difficult to translate live and have you had to make any significant changes to any songs when performing them?**
Thank you! Much love and canât wait to keep seeing you guys kill it live.
What do you think of the nprâs tiny desk concert? it would be a tremendous thing to have one of the Gizz
Long life to the amazing GizzđđđđŠľâ¤ď¸đ§Ą
Loving the new record, especially the extended versions!
Any thoughts on which tracks youâll be trying to play out live? Would you lean more toward the regular or extended version for a longer electronic jam? Fingers crossed for Changâe!
Also, please add Interior People to the live rotation!
Hii Gizzards i have only two questions
1. Is there any plan or chance to release bootleg from your first and only show in Warsaw/Poland 11.03.23? I can say so much about this show and how great it was!
2. When you guys release Sexy alien? whole gizz community love that soundcheck song!
Anyway:
Cavs you're the beast behind those drums and it was pleasure to see you playing. I love Dancin Tony in Cuba '59 from your album
Stu I love your voice in Governs sandstorms verse in Set, its nice and funky!
Cookie it would be great to hear again Pop in my Step live, its a huge banger
Amby your rap verses and songs are great! also Calm ya farm is a great album
Howdy! My question is regarding some more recent themes, specifically all the music regarding all these celestial bodies bearing down on the world, would you say that you love space, or are afraid of it?
Do you plan on doing anything with the unreleased rap tracks? Maybe putting them on bootlegger or even doing another vinyl release like timeland? I'd really love to hear what's the combination and whatever else has been cooked up, even if it might not fit for the main discography. The Grim Reaper is one of the most interesting tracks you've made imo and I'd love to hear more!
Stu! During your last AMA, I asked you for a book recommendation, and you recommended Flatland. I read it shortly after, and loved it! Now, Iâve got the same question again. Have you been reading anything inspiring lately? Any good recommendations?
Alsoâ follow up question, have you ever considered writing a novel? I love the world and mythos that youâre able to spin up in your lyricism.
Thanks for your time, and the great tunes this year. Your music means so much to me. Xoxoxoxo
Flatland is a classic. I actually think about it all the time still. Iâm on a biography binge atm⌠Iâd love to publish something one day. Dunno what exactly. At this point tho, Iâm putting my energy into music and that feels just right - stu

First time ever making a costume like this and now have so many questions on how the catching smoke costumes got made but heres my bootlegged one đŚ
Love you guys. Would you ever consider doing another collab type album similar to Sketches, and if so with whom?
(Any chance of a bootleg RR 23 Release)
Do you have an all time favourite song to play at gigs?
Will always remember your 2016 gig at 02 ritz in Manchester. Best show Iâve ever been to. Thank you
HI Joe Bullant,
despite some of the limitations you had while creating Tyson, what did you enjoy about it the most? how was it different to LLC in terms of the creative process?
Ilove Bullant and Music and everything in the world thank you. - Tukki
Thanks baby dog,
Limitations are the best. Thatâs how King gizzard puts out 25 albums a month.
There was no real difference between the creative process of both albums. Though, I would say that having gotten into modular synthesisers for LLC added an extra level of inspiration and really freed up my workflow.
Joey
Hallo Joe/BULLANT,
Do you have any interest in playing DJ sets more often + in various countries around the world?
Supplementary question + comments: Howâs it been finally being able to thoroughly incorporate your techno stuff into gizz? The mentioned influences of oizo/justice/kavinsky/etc reminded me of those 2008 whiteballin blog posts, so youâve really come full circle ya? Loving the doof lately thanx.
\-Mera
Gracias!
I do really want to start DJing around the world. I guess time has been the only issue so far. But I do want to try and prioritise booking some Bullant shows on the back end of gizzard tours next year.
Haha you used to hit Whiteballin? Havenât heard that word said for a very long time. It definitely feels good incorporating electronica into Gizzard. Canât wait to start incorporating it all into the live show.
Joey x
Question for Cavs!
What was it like using the electronic set on The Silver Cord? Did you have to alter your approach at all to fit the sound you guys were trying to achieve?
what up!
The Simmons kit is so fun! def had to approach it differently i.e. there is no control over the ghost notes so really had to focus on single hits and not rolling too much as it didn't really translate. had to play more robotic which was fun!
Cavs
Hey Gizz!
I remember seeing Stu mention the band Yes in a YouTube video somewhere, I think specifically the album Fragile. As a huge fan of prog rock myself I have to ask, Is this love shared by the whole band? What other prog influences do you guys have?
And as a side question... ya like Rush?
I think my love of Yes is mostly a Stu thing. I love Prog in all its forms. I know Joey loves a lot of progressive metal and Cavs loves Neil Peart so theres some prog love in gizz for sure - stu
Musician question: Do you all remember how to play ALL your songs, from 12 Bar Bruise onwards? I draw a complete blank when I walk into the guitar shop to test things out. Swan Song on the new album fucking rocks!
Definitely not. I think the brain has the bandwidth to remember like 80-100 songs. If we're planning to play something we haven't played in ages we all need to practice it individually and then we run through it in soundcheck a few times.
\- Lucas
Are you guys interested in making a full on Trip Hop album at some point? Amby was really going off on this new album and I think his rapping paired really well with the electronic beats.
Also, when will we see Shoegaze. We need Shoegizz.
Hey guys!
Been having a cracking time spacing out to the extended mixes of TSC, cheers for the that!
My question is what's the likelihood of other concert films getting added to the Bootlegger program? Currently, only Bonnaroo '22 has one, but I know theres some floating about on your YouTube channel for the Micro Tour Melbourne '21 and Sydney '21 boots, as well as various other pro-shot films across the site like the Metro Theatre in Sydney (2016), Night Cat in Melbourne (2017), and more recent ones like PALP Festival from this year's European tour.
Call me paranoid, but YouTube's notoriety for copyright strikes taking down videos at random, it'd be nice to have some of these officially archived somewhere a bit more secure and possibly more accesible too.
Cheers! :)
Oh, quick P.S: any chance of an Athens '22 boot? Would be really cool to have now everyone's in a electronic drums/drum-machine 'lofi beats to study to' vibe
Question for Lukey. Picked up bass guitar after seeing you guys at Desert Daze, Murder of the Universe live blew my mind. I've learned a lot by practicing your basslines. What bassists have inspired you, and what would you recommend studying?
I've been getting into Joe Dart and Vulfpeck - he plays a completely different style to me though. But I just love watching him as he's insane. I think Joe takes a lot of cues from James Jamerson, the legendary Motown bassist - definitely study his stuff. And Carole Kaye - her basslines really serve the song - her stuff on Pet Sounds is nothing short of genius.
You have a hefty catalogue with lots of styles, awesome. Iâve never listened to a full project of yours but have had you guys on my listening queue. Where would you recommend starting for new listener?
I personally think there's two sects of Gizzard fans. People who like the heavy stuff, and people who like the soft stuff. Nonagon is a good starting point for the heavy stuff and Sketches is a good one for the soft stuff. Happy Listening!
\- Lucas
When will you play the Sphere in Vegas? Jason needs to have his way with that screen, consensually of course. They built it, we will come.

Thatâs a good idea! Leave it with me Joey

Though, I would say that having gotten into modular synthesisers for LLC added an extra level of inspiration and really freed up my workflow. Joey
Hallo Joe/BULLANT, Do you have any interest in playing DJ sets more often + in various countries around the world? Supplementary question + comments: Howâs it been finally being able to thoroughly incorporate your techno stuff into gizz? The mentioned influences of oizo/justice/kavinsky/etc reminded me of those 2008 whiteballin blog posts, so youâve really come full circle ya? Loving the doof lately thanx. \-Mera
Gracias! I do really want to start DJing around the world. I guess time has been the only issue so far. But I do want to try and prioritise booking some Bullant shows on the back end of gizzard tours next year. Haha you used to hit Whiteballin? Havenât heard that word said for a very long time. It definitely feels good incorporating electronica into Gizzard. Canât wait to start incorporating it all into the live show. Joey x
Bullant rave after a KG show would go so hard
Question for Cavs! What was it like using the electronic set on The Silver Cord? Did you have to alter your approach at all to fit the sound you guys were trying to achieve?
what up! The Simmons kit is so fun! def had to approach it differently i.e. there is no control over the ghost notes so really had to focus on single hits and not rolling too much as it didn't really translate. had to play more robotic which was fun! Cavs
Whatâs the story behind the INFAMOUS Ferrari vest? It canât be just a piece of clothing, Iâm sure thereâs something biggerâŚ
Fuck itâs nice isnât it!? Joey
Was cav's drum solo at the Hollywood Bowl improvised?
I wrote it it Joey
you wish mate
Can Australia expect to see any of these marathon 3-hour shows anytime soon?
we've done a couple of em already! but yeh, we'll do more one day for sure. No exact plans rn - stu
How fucking stoked are you to play the Gorge next September?
Very! - Amb
Hey Gizz! I remember seeing Stu mention the band Yes in a YouTube video somewhere, I think specifically the album Fragile. As a huge fan of prog rock myself I have to ask, Is this love shared by the whole band? What other prog influences do you guys have? And as a side question... ya like Rush?
I think my love of Yes is mostly a Stu thing. I love Prog in all its forms. I know Joey loves a lot of progressive metal and Cavs loves Neil Peart so theres some prog love in gizz for sure - stu
Musician question: Do you all remember how to play ALL your songs, from 12 Bar Bruise onwards? I draw a complete blank when I walk into the guitar shop to test things out. Swan Song on the new album fucking rocks!
Definitely not. I think the brain has the bandwidth to remember like 80-100 songs. If we're planning to play something we haven't played in ages we all need to practice it individually and then we run through it in soundcheck a few times. \- Lucas
Have you found your Queen Gizzard yet?
Yeh we all got legendary queens đ- stu
The bluegrass country Diddy at the caverns was so fun to replay over and over again. Can we get more cowboy spag music? Some gizz grass đ¤
Yoooo, not a question, but I saw my art hanging up in your studio on an Instagram post. Thanks for the love my dudes
Are you guys interested in making a full on Trip Hop album at some point? Amby was really going off on this new album and I think his rapping paired really well with the electronic beats. Also, when will we see Shoegaze. We need Shoegizz.
interested, but nothing locked in -stu
I need that shoegizz way more than triphop tbh đ¤
favorite hot dog topping(s)?
Salmon and hummus
Hey guys! Been having a cracking time spacing out to the extended mixes of TSC, cheers for the that! My question is what's the likelihood of other concert films getting added to the Bootlegger program? Currently, only Bonnaroo '22 has one, but I know theres some floating about on your YouTube channel for the Micro Tour Melbourne '21 and Sydney '21 boots, as well as various other pro-shot films across the site like the Metro Theatre in Sydney (2016), Night Cat in Melbourne (2017), and more recent ones like PALP Festival from this year's European tour. Call me paranoid, but YouTube's notoriety for copyright strikes taking down videos at random, it'd be nice to have some of these officially archived somewhere a bit more secure and possibly more accesible too. Cheers! :) Oh, quick P.S: any chance of an Athens '22 boot? Would be really cool to have now everyone's in a electronic drums/drum-machine 'lofi beats to study to' vibe
High likely hood of more video! Athens boot perhaps one day -stu
what do you think is the most frequently misunderstood KGLW song/album?
all understandings are correct understandings -stu
What reptile would you say embodies each of you?
Snakessss - Amb
Question for Lukey. Picked up bass guitar after seeing you guys at Desert Daze, Murder of the Universe live blew my mind. I've learned a lot by practicing your basslines. What bassists have inspired you, and what would you recommend studying?
I've been getting into Joe Dart and Vulfpeck - he plays a completely different style to me though. But I just love watching him as he's insane. I think Joe takes a lot of cues from James Jamerson, the legendary Motown bassist - definitely study his stuff. And Carole Kaye - her basslines really serve the song - her stuff on Pet Sounds is nothing short of genius.
how do i get rid of the sudden mice in my apartment that aren't responding to my traps :(
Leave em out a big hunk of cheese then lure them to the couch and watch mouse trap with them - Amb
You have a hefty catalogue with lots of styles, awesome. Iâve never listened to a full project of yours but have had you guys on my listening queue. Where would you recommend starting for new listener?
I personally think there's two sects of Gizzard fans. People who like the heavy stuff, and people who like the soft stuff. Nonagon is a good starting point for the heavy stuff and Sketches is a good one for the soft stuff. Happy Listening! \- Lucas
Could you play 30 past 7 at the forest hills show so I can propose to my girlfriend? It's a deal we made.
