Watch the band tear through three songs from their ‘Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava’ album.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard celebrated the release of their “Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava” album on October 7th by stopping at the Seattle studios of public radio station KEXP for a live session. The Australian rockers weaved through three cuts from the LP and spoke with host Cheryl Waters.
“Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava” marked the first of three new albums King Gizz issued last month. “Can anyone in the band actually name all the records?” Waters joked with the prolific band before they unreleased a raucous extended take on “Ice V.” Guitarist/vocalist Stu Mackenzie then led the group through “Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava” single “Iron Lung.” Wailing guitars and funky keyboard riffs were infused throughout the “Iron Lung” jam.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard went on to perform “Magma” for their third and final song of the set. Once again, Mackenzie, Joey Walker, Ambrose Kenny-Smith and Cookie Craig let it rip while bassist Lucas Harwood and drummer Michael “Cavs” Cavanagh steadied the beat. Members of the group discussed their busy 2022, marathon concerts and more with Cheryl Waters to end the session.
