King Gizzard (Live) - Head On/Pill on ABABCd

For full episodes go to Banalarama KZbin Channel - / banalarama
Recorded 16.10.2013 in Melbourne.

[@nclarkeAU]

lol so many (totally valid) comments about the crowd. sum context: this was filmed on a wednesday night in october 2013 in a burlesque bar, free entry, with each act playing 1 song...apart from the gizz who decided to play this at the end of the taping. float along had come out (for memory) a week or so before so doubt many ppl there had heard head on/pill; some probs hadn't heard of gizzard at all. the crowd are very subdued for sure but a wonderful experience for the hundred or so ppl who were there :) o and if ya like the show we still make it, head over to the the banalarama youtube channel: kzbin.info

[@RalphLindsen]

When i good band plays some good shit, i honestly forget about all social standards and just flip the fuck out. One of the main reasons to be in front is so i can just flip out on the music if it's earned and i'll just imagine everybody else is too :P Or, at least it's easier to ignore them.

[@thomasberry8012]

[@martinet1985]

those guitar strings hanging out like that have the power to kill while onstage

[@HighDeafRadio]

Not cutting them benefits your tone, supposedly. I've heard a few people say cutting them loosens the windings and muddies up your tone.

[@HighDeafRadio]

@@evanmurphy6640 You're probably right tbh.

[@robertcurtis3115]

It's easier to get them off. Especially a 12 string, like he uses now. Not pretty but functionally integral when you change strings for every show.

[@faker6968]

He might be using them like that just for the looks!

Woah! Amazing performance. I´ve been flying for 15 minutes. Hate to be back on earth..... next song!

[@tolitros]

The audio quality, the mixing, the video and edition is AMAZING given that they were the new kids on the block back in 2013. Kudos to the Banalarama guys.

[@colinfuidge8660]

An epic version of a modern classic. Seen them a few times and they're always full on and brilliant.

[@TheeVanillaface]

If I were part of that crowd I would probably be losing my fucking mind. I would lose control. I would make more noise than all of them combined. I would shout to the gods above. I would dance. I would .... become the lizard.

[@ltory2120]

i dont know about you man but i get stoned and i get warped into the music that im listening to. especially psych and i wanna shake i wanna move and i wanna let it all loose if its live. i can be chill at my home or friends. like common a live show with no emotion from audience but ya bloke get stoned and stand wutever yer preference... my comment is my OWN opinion

[@denasewell]

how this band escaped my radar til recently is beyond me ??But they are sooo amazing!I love this band !!

[@frankiesunswept]

They are so cute n young! AWWWW

[@telosbrah194]

I remember first watching this in 2016 or 2017 when I had first heard of KG. The first album of their I listened to was Nonagon Infinity and I enjoyed it so much that I had to listen to more of their stuff. I stumbled upon this at that time and I still come back to it. It's one of my favorite KG live performances along with their first performance on KEXP.

[@theneovas1]

Starts at 1:17

[@Jellybeantiger]

The best gig I saw the Gizz play was at the Croc ,Northcote,the PA system had all the fury to fully justify the band's music. It was a spiritual experience.

[@faker6968]

It is really funny that Stu stacks delay pedals, and uses them with on different settings, while ALSO TWEAKING THEM MID SONG

[@matiasaless]

I love this guys, they put back the best psychedelic music of the '60 to our present time!!!

[@methrogen1779]

band or show?

[@choralpedus]

[@Harsh_Trip]

The music playing in the beginning while the host speaks is from David Lynch's 1990 hit television series "Twin peaks". Not to be mistaken with "Twin peaks: the return", the return of the show 25 years later which aired a few weeks ago on showtime, I highly recommend checking it out. The name of that song is called "Dance of the dream man" by Angelo Badalamenti.

[@methrogen1779]

preciate the response. i'm actually a new fan of the show and didn't recognize the track in this video at the time. i'm currently watching the return right now.
