Much better than the shambles that the wytches followed with. 

I agree The Wytches left me feeling a cold when they played, gizz were always gonna be a tough act to follow. I've seen them twice since now and they sounded awesome, I think they got lost in that big room. Don't let that performance taint your opinion of them though man, they're so tight live now.

 

Looking forward to the mighty Gizz at the Albert Hall, roll on June!

I was buzzing about the upcoming Albert Hall gig, looked like it was gonna be gig of the year. Unfortunately Thee Oh Sees announced a Manchester show on the same night and with a heavy heart decided to go there as I've just seen gizz. Really hoping both are at Glastonbury but assuming both gigs exist because they're both at Field Day. Still, guaranteed high quality gigs either way, don't think you're losing if you go to either.

I've been listening to Thee Oh Sees a lot recently after someone said to - quality stuff.

If I liked anything else off the lineup I'd be going to Field Day this year but I'm hoping for a sneaky London date being announced so I can just see TOS's - got tix to see Gizz already

Probably a sensible move. Gizz are a number of times more likely to hit Glastonbury. I think I'll pursue other ways of seeing Thee Oh Sees this year and keep that night free in case KG don't show up on the Glasto bill but we can be very confident of that not being the case.

I adore the Gizz, but can't quite get into thee oh seas.... can someone post something I should listen to please?

Really  Hoping Ty Segall makes an appearance after watching some live videos last year.

First TOS track I loved, with a very Gizz vibe:

 

Ty Segall doesn't seem to have anything booked over G but is on these shores in September so unlikely, again.

Toe Cutter/Thumb Buster is THE big Thee Oh Sees track ain't it? Closest thing to a 'breakthrough' anyway. Can't post a link rn but the video is easily found and is cool.

Yeah that's probably my favourite and what I'd consider their 'big' one, and yeah the video is ace.

[priest17]

I never really know where to tip people off with TOS. I started with Castlemania which probably isn't a great place to start to get sacked into how good they are but I still love it. I think John Dwyer is the coolest dude on earth to be fair so I'm pretty invested, the new damaged bug album is brilliant if no one's checked it out. Worth going backwards with his stuff as well, Coachwhips have got some great stuff (I get a bit wary of getting into stuff I know I can never see live but I love them)

True, annoyingly I got my Gizzard tickets prior to Thee Oh Sees being announced,   Seems outrageous bad luck them playing Manchester the same night.

Prolly just got a shitty end of the stick with the tour scheduling tbf. They've got five UK shows weeks apart between mid-May and mid-June and then back again in August. And the Brighton venue looks to mainly host religious gatherings!

[MrKrabs42]

Not sure if anyone on here has seen this before. Pretty interesting, especially the quarter tones! 

 

[CJTM]

NONAGON INFINITY OPENS THE DOOR

[Mash011]

How many sets this year, then? 3 last time, reckon they can top it and go for 4?

[When Jokers Attack]

Yes. Billabong Valley is my song of the year so far.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Already seeing them the week before... so may not see them on the farm, but 3 other big gizz fans I am going with can't make the gig the week before and will want to see them.

Great booking. Where are we thinking JP this time?

[Mezhyp1]

I've just seen the same person on twitter saying they are playing 3 sets 

[priest17]

Are you a member of his gizzard fan group on Facebook per chance? The band are basically replying to every question sent to them, didn't expect it to spill onto here ahah

[rattlerattlerattle]

Are they big enough for early Other stage or a dead cert for John Peel? 

Either way I hope they end up in the Crow's Nest again. They played there on the one Glasto I failed to get tickets for in the last 5 years and I still am gutted to have missed that gig.

[pastorofmuppets]

3am set on the Hell stage please!

[TomViolence]

Only recently got into them (via the new album) - really enjoyed what I heard.

Where should I go next?

The latest one is the third in a trilogy alongside Nonagon Infinity (II) and I'm In Your Mind Fuzz (I). I prefer the latter but both are stylistically more similar than most others of theirs.

In your Mind fuzz and Nonagon infinity for psych fuss similar to the new one, without the microtonal element.

Papier Mache Dream balloon for an "acoustic flute-based album" that's nothing like those three. All four are very good.  

Anything before Mind fuzz, you'll need advice from some of the better experts than I.   

I am in a minority who really enjoys "eyes like the sky". Its a story album... talking over the tune. Its a story about the American indians

Oddments is quality. It doesn't really follow a pattern, Hot Wax is probably the best known tune, but Vegemite is a favourite of mine.

the only album I haven't really enjoyed was paper mache

[Guy Incognito]

Quarters is great too. 4 tracks, each is 10mins and 10seconds long (I think). The River is one of the first King Gizzard songs that I really loved
