Episode 159: Lucas Harwood (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Heavy Moss)

90 minute sets, a word to mouth ground swell, and hard curfews. Lucas Harwood (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Heavy Moss) “Formed in 2011 in Melbourne, Australia, by a group of friends who jammed frequently, then decided on a whim to play a show, the lineup consisted of vocalist/guitarist Stu Mackenzie, harmonica player/singer Ambrose Kenny-Smith, guitarists Cook Craig and Joey Walker, bassist Lucas Skinner, and dual drummers Michael Cavanagh and Eric Moore. They released two garage rock-inspired EPs in 2011, Anglesea and Willoughby's Beach, then in 2012 released their debut album, 12 Bar Bruise. Working at the kind of feverish pace that became their standard, King Gizzard followed up just five months later with 2013's Eyes Like the Sky, which the band described as a "spaghetti Western audio book" complete with narration by Ambrose Kenny-Smith's father, the noted Australian musician Broderick Smith. A third full-length, Float Along, Fill Your Lungs, was released in 2013 and was quickly followed by 2014's Oddments and I'm in Your Mind Fuzz. Still working quickly, in early 2015 they released the Quarters EP, which featured four trippy, free jazz-inspired jams that each timed out exactly at 10:10.” Excerpt from https://www.allmusic.com/artist/king-gizzard-the-lizard-wizard-mn0003085959/biography King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard: Bandcamp: https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com Instagram: @kinggizzard Website: https://kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com Merch: https://gizzverse.com Heavy Moss: Bandcamp: https://heavymoss.bandcamp.com Instagram: @heavy_moss Merch: https://heavymoss.bandcamp.com/merch/heavy-moss-milkman-t-shirt The Vineyard: Instagram: @thevineyardpodcast Website: https://www.thevineyardpodcast.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thevineyardpodcast
