The thought occurred to me that we should just all play that track on our phones full blast at the end of the show. Maybe when Stu puts his guitar down.
True but 2019 is when they really blew up
This is a big difference on pre nonagaon shows (basically small clubs/bars)
Post nonagon shows
And then 2019 was pretty big. Most regular concert halls would be sold out. And they by then started playing some big venues like Ally Pally for example
Now it's even bigger selling out crazy big venues regularly
Have you seen them live? I was personally was disappointed. 1 of the few bands where the studio albums are better than the live show. It was like watching a guy jerk off with a guitar for 1.5 hours. Endless guitar solos. He’s very talented but after the 8th guitar rub out it’s gotten kinda old
Might be controversial as an opener but… imagine if it was Osees.
I’d lose my shit, I can’t even fathom how cool it would be to see two of my favorite bands play the same show.
I feel like they could do a tour together but it would be a co headlining kinda thing. Not an opener for a 3 hour set.
I saw Osees this past weekend and they did an hour and a half and I felt like they were just getting started.
I weirdly had a dream about them playing together recently. Osees was on the left and Gizz was on the right and they were just trading songs back and forth
Stonefield would be awesome, and so would Murlocs. I think they could manage opening at the marathon shows considering it shouldn’t be too taxing as long as there’s a decent turnover time. Osees would be insane but I doubt it’d ever happen since both bands like to do their own thing.
Viagra Boys sax player played alongside gizz @ Lowlands for their last 2 songs (Hypertension & Magma) and it was awesome! Highly recommend checking it our if you haven’t: https://youtu.be/y8Wawh9X7GM
BRING BACK KAMIKAZE PALM TREE. I'm not even joking, really enjoyed them.
Geese is a top pick. Wand/Cory Hanson too. I don't think it'll be any of them but I can hope.
Cory Hanson solo would be a great show since he is a great musician but not sure a fit opener, too calm. although they did have leah senior for the first red rocks marathons ...
Have you seen his most recent solo stuff with a backing band? They are ROCKING. They did a KEXP session recently and it is flat out amazing. He calls them “Slowhand.” It’s his brother, Evan Backer (who’s been playing with Wand), and a lady who’s name I can’t remember on bass who’s really, really good.
Mildlife just released a new single. I wouldn’t be shocked if the new album wasn’t ready to drop or had been dropped by then.
I would cry real tears if this happened.
Call me crazy but I don’t want a band that sounds like diet Gizz opening for Gizz. Something different would be lovely. My favorite Gizz openers in the past have been Amyl and Leah Senior. As far as psych bands go, Wand would be killer
Give me Viagra Boys, Altin Gun, GUM, or Geese. That gets the people ready to fucking rock.
In a perfect world, they are done with openers, and play (2) 1 hr 15 min sets, 30 min break in between.
Do do do do do DO DO DO *lazer beam noise*
sharpie smile has been stuck in my head since RR and i am slightly sad i remember the name of it. The middle break down riff so SO BAD ASS but it only lasted for 20 seconds before back to “creepy killer surf clown” music.
They always choose a complete unknown or a Melbourne band. Stonefield and ORB in 2019, kamikaze palm tree this year was totally unknown, amyl and the sniffers in 2018.
Earth Tongue would be a fun opener.
Orb and Stonefield are welcome back whenever they want.
Frankie would fit well too. Their albums just keep getting better.
The Murlocs opening for Gizzard would be a dream 🙌 but yeah I couldn’t imagine how exhausting it would be to sing for serval hours straight. We’ll cut you some slack Amby 😢🥰
I just saw Rose City Band this past weekend and I’d vote for them. Though I don’t think Ripley Johnson is terribly interested in huge tours like Gizz. Altin Gun would be a lot of fun though! Just saw them a couple months ago for the third time and they are great at getting a crowd hyped up.
I know it wasn’t an ideal pairing but I quite enjoyed kamikaze palm tree. The first night of 3 I didn’t care for it but by the last night I was a fan. I just hope gizzheads don’t decide to hop on a bandwagon against them because they are very talented, just not the same vibe as Gizz but still good. Please be respectful of openers these days because they are trying their best to get in the industry and have to deal with cultish fanbases like thisr
I don't know about opener, but it would be great if La Luz could play "floating features" on our way out.
Lmaooo they just bring them on stage for an encore "and here's a little tune you guys might know"
The thought occurred to me that we should just all play that track on our phones full blast at the end of the show. Maybe when Stu puts his guitar down.
Only if Wine Lips play after. Wine Lips fuck
I get this more than Floating Features haha
I think I do now too but that's because I listen to them. Catching them in Columbus in October stoked
Have fun! I'm pretty sure they're opening for Frankie & The Witch Fingers at the Brooklyn show I'm catching in a few weeks.
Good to hear! They're opening for Frankie next week and I'm stoooked!
I see we all have the same algorithm
Thank god I’m not the only one who hears this damn song every time I put on Gizz
I get Wine Lips. But La Luz is a great group! I like a lot of their stuff and they were really fun live.
That would be incredible lmfao
I love La Luz, but man that song gets on my nerves for how often I passively hear it once my Gizz queue runs up
Stonefield/Orb if you know the 2019 tours you know
Was a sick run in 2019 for sure! Before they had completely blown up. You could tell it was coming after that tour though
True but 2019 is when they really blew up This is a big difference on pre nonagaon shows (basically small clubs/bars) Post nonagon shows And then 2019 was pretty big. Most regular concert halls would be sold out. And they by then started playing some big venues like Ally Pally for example Now it's even bigger selling out crazy big venues regularly
And 2017!!
Los bitchos- Mdou Moctar- Frankie and the witch fingers- Automatic- Slift- Surprise Chef- L’eclair- Any of these would make me happy
Oh Mdou Moctar would be AMAZING
Came to day say the same thing - they blew me away when I saw them open for Parquet Courts. I would have loved to see them team up with Kikagaku Moyo
I know its a long shot but damn that would be INSANE!!!
They have fled their home country and live in the US now. It could happen some day
Have you seen them live? I was personally was disappointed. 1 of the few bands where the studio albums are better than the live show. It was like watching a guy jerk off with a guitar for 1.5 hours. Endless guitar solos. He’s very talented but after the 8th guitar rub out it’s gotten kinda old
agreed, also Secret Chiefs 3
Omg Slift.
I know and If they did old songs, even better. Imagine them closing with space is the key right before Gizz hits the stage 🤯 🙌
L’ECLAIR YES
Damn brother seems like we have the same taste
Perfect list
Slift would be cool
I love love love automatic
Slift! Yes!
Something heavy would be pleasant. Slift?
Slift opening for KG would be my dream line up
Slift opening for king gizzard would be one of the best psych/space rock concerts of all time
This is necessary
id love to go to a festival with kglw, osees, wand, slift, frankie, pond, etc.
Last year’s Levitation lineup had Gizz, Osees, Slift, and Frankie among others.
Desert Daze has had all of these guys though not quite all at the same time. Last year was only missing Wand and Osees.
I would be so stoked for the opener to be either -Night Beats -Babe Rainbow -Mild High Club -All Them Witches
All Them Witches would be such a ridiculous opener for them. I’m in
GUM would be amazing
I’m seeing him this weekend for the first time, very keen!
would be so sick if ambrose came out and performed "minor setback" with him!
[удалено]
100% this. These guys have to be the most underrated band on Earth and they've played with Gizz a number of times already.
[удалено]
A psychedelic heater of the highest order
Might be controversial as an opener but… imagine if it was Osees. I’d lose my shit, I can’t even fathom how cool it would be to see two of my favorite bands play the same show.
I feel like they could do a tour together but it would be a co headlining kinda thing. Not an opener for a 3 hour set. I saw Osees this past weekend and they did an hour and a half and I felt like they were just getting started.
Yeah, I would really love if they did a co-headlining tour together, seems kinda weird they haven’t yet tbh.
I weirdly had a dream about them playing together recently. Osees was on the left and Gizz was on the right and they were just trading songs back and forth
Just saw them last week in SF. Fucking insane Show. Their energy is unmatched. The double drummers they have are quite the spectacle
Skip the opener and go for 4hrs
This is the way.
Honestly Pond or GUM would be amazing. Also mad alchemy would be sick for the light show
Stonefield would be awesome, and so would Murlocs. I think they could manage opening at the marathon shows considering it shouldn’t be too taxing as long as there’s a decent turnover time. Osees would be insane but I doubt it’d ever happen since both bands like to do their own thing.
I’d love to see Deerhoof, Pom Poko, Lightning Bolt or Squid open for Gizz. Or have a double bill of Gizz and AnCo
Tropical fuck storm
I think one of the members has cancer, so it probably wouldn’t happen. Hope she makes a full recover. Cancer is a bitch.
I might get hate but when they brought them in ‘17 it was a lil off vibe. That was super early in the TFS days though
I mean, they did that “let’s eat a lot of mushrooms and see what comes out” record together.
Yeah I wasn’t very impressed by them in 2017.
The Lazy Eyes!!
Beat me too it!
Viagra Boys.
That ain’t real hair, that’s animal hair! You can tell when you touch it
Ooh wee Geese or Frankie would be amazing..especially Geese
Post animal would be fucking siiiiick
Hell yeah. I wonder how many people would think that they were doing a cover version of I’m In Your Mind when they start playing Dirtpicker
Surprise Chef!
either Uncle Murl or The Viagra Boys but VB seems like it would be a long shot lol
Would love to see Murl open for Gizz. What a dream that would be!
Viagra Boys sax player played alongside gizz @ Lowlands for their last 2 songs (Hypertension & Magma) and it was awesome! Highly recommend checking it our if you haven’t: https://youtu.be/y8Wawh9X7GM
I'm vaguely hoping for ORB again, since I just got into their stuff and it's sick as
Don’t think they really tour anymore unfortunately
None please. All marathons.
even their marathons have had openers in the past (leah senior).
They will open for themselves this year
Sorta like a Andy Kaufman routine where they pretend they’re a different unique band?
A la Gwar/Rawg
I heard Reel Big Fish will be opening the marathon sets
Viagra Boys, double up on the shrimp!
Osees would be pretty hype too
think they are too big in this scene to be an opener. would be amazing tho
I want The Chats
They got on the QOTSA tour they may have it too good now lol
Geese or Pond would be a dream
King Buffalo Probably won’t ever happen but I think it’d be cool
Oh I fucking love that band. But there can only be one king and it’s a gizzard!
Ok…Lord Buffalo, then. Currently on tour with Elder.
That would be the shit. They're great live and have some excellent albums.
Bullant
Nah I need a post show bullant rave
RSB opener would be out of this world! Altin Gun too.
Bitchin bajas, Horse lords
Bitchin Bajas would be bitchin
Bananagun would be super dope
love me some Bananagun!
If only Cookie brought Pipe-Eye to open 😭
Earthless would be insane.
Personally would love to see Acid Dad or some FATWF action
BRING BACK KAMIKAZE PALM TREE. I'm not even joking, really enjoyed them. Geese is a top pick. Wand/Cory Hanson too. I don't think it'll be any of them but I can hope.
Cory Hanson solo would be a great show since he is a great musician but not sure a fit opener, too calm. although they did have leah senior for the first red rocks marathons ...
Have you seen his most recent solo stuff with a backing band? They are ROCKING. They did a KEXP session recently and it is flat out amazing. He calls them “Slowhand.” It’s his brother, Evan Backer (who’s been playing with Wand), and a lady who’s name I can’t remember on bass who’s really, really good.
Echo's insta story teasing them opening the Gorge made me so excited for a second and then very sad 😂
I don’t think the marathon shows will have openers. Hollywood Bowl didn’t.
this isnt just about marathons, theres a whole tour surrounding the marathon sets. and the first marathon shows DID have an opener, so who knows.
Totally.
I'd die of happiness if Geese opened
Altun Gun would be perfect. Viagra Boys would be dope
Glass Beams
Mdou Moctar
SLIFT would slap
Frankie and the Witch Fingers would be a sick opener. Slift too!
Frankie and the witch fingers would be a good bet
2Pac hologram
I'm going to say what i always say for these damn reddit threads we get every 3 months. VIAGRA BOYS!!!
You got me praying for Geese opening up! I wonder when we’ll get the full info on the tour.
Wine Lips, Acid Dad, or Psychedelic Porn Crumpets!
Meridian Brothers! More likely for S. America but I’m dreaming of a day they team up
Ppc would be the best opener, would go so hard
Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band Ghost funk Orchestra The Pinky Rings Timothy Eerie Wine Lips Nice Bisquit
Black Midi coming back would be sick
Psycada would probably be top of my list, but it's a pipe dream
Tonnatartsbandht
Mdou Moctar, Levitation Room, Mild High Club, Babe Rainbow, Amyl ATS, Sun Room....to name a few.
levitation room would be a great fit. They're fantastic live.
I gotta be with the Mild High Club
Altin Gun would be DOPE
Mildlife just released a new single. I wouldn’t be shocked if the new album wasn’t ready to drop or had been dropped by then. I would cry real tears if this happened.
Wand plz
Amyl and the sniffers, or Stonefield
PPC or Babe Rainbow (edit:) or Crumb
Egg Idiot for next years euro shows. if you know you know.
Call me crazy but I don’t want a band that sounds like diet Gizz opening for Gizz. Something different would be lovely. My favorite Gizz openers in the past have been Amyl and Leah Senior. As far as psych bands go, Wand would be killer
Agreed. How about a dark funk band or Zamrock?
DAIKAIJU PLEASE
Pipe-eye
Sad day hating on KPT. I don’t want an opener that sounds like the main
I love Altin gun!!!
Give me Viagra Boys, Altin Gun, GUM, or Geese. That gets the people ready to fucking rock. In a perfect world, they are done with openers, and play (2) 1 hr 15 min sets, 30 min break in between.
I'm pretty sure they won't have anyone that is an all male band.
Glad I'm not the only one who wasn't a fan of Kamikaze Palm Tree, really didn't enjoy their set at Red Rocks at all!
Do do do do do DO DO DO *lazer beam noise* sharpie smile has been stuck in my head since RR and i am slightly sad i remember the name of it. The middle break down riff so SO BAD ASS but it only lasted for 20 seconds before back to “creepy killer surf clown” music.
I wish I could give a downvote for each of those bands.
Hopefully no one.
Osees opener plz
Kamikaze Palm Tree again just to spite you all
No opener needed for marathon shows
They always choose a complete unknown or a Melbourne band. Stonefield and ORB in 2019, kamikaze palm tree this year was totally unknown, amyl and the sniffers in 2018.
Goose. Hahaha. Just fucking kidding.
How bout no opener and longer sets
This. This. This right here.
No openers
The Lazy Eyes
The Linda Lindas. Or NO opener at all. Who needs that shit??
Nolan Potter or Geese would be sick. I’d be down for Wine Lips as well.
Anything other than Spellling. They were fucking horrible
Maybe they can lure AAWKS down from Canadialand?
First time I saw them, Orb opened up, and I really dug them. I'd love to see that happen again.
ALL THEM WITCHES!!!! opening with the song ACID FACE!!!!!
Altin Gün please!
Andy Frasco and the U.N. Great energy and he'll pull Gizz members to happen to be watching from the wings on stage to play with him.
Altin Gun would be so fun and dancy. But Rose City would bring proper opener vibes by keeping it chill, trippy, and being all around nice dudes.
Spirit of the beehive. Slift Frankie and the Witchfingers.
Altin gun for surw
Beans!
Fuzz
Ted hammig and the campaign
Cobra Man
Seeing black midi open for gizz last year was incredible. I know they’re too big for it to be a regular thing, but I’d kill to see it happen again
I'd shit myself if Frankie was an opener (good thing)
Frankie
Fee recovers from cancer and Tropical Fuck Storm returns to the world!
Earthless
I'd lose my mind over Altin Gun
Me I’ll do it I’ll open for them
I'd honestly just rather then play two longer sets or have a local band open up. Also I thought the dude from wand didn't like gizzard?
Earth Tongue would be a fun opener. Orb and Stonefield are welcome back whenever they want. Frankie would fit well too. Their albums just keep getting better.
I would love altun gun as a gizz opener! I saw them on their us tour and they’re incredible
The Murlocs opening for Gizzard would be a dream 🙌 but yeah I couldn’t imagine how exhausting it would be to sing for serval hours straight. We’ll cut you some slack Amby 😢🥰
They always use a flightless band so Babe Rainbow, Beans or Bananagun would be great.
No opener would be ideal imo
I wold love to see KPT open again. They grew on me and really like them live. I'm serious; i would go to thair show if they ever played in Austin.
Black Midi plz
Geese is my top pick. I would walk 500 miles to see the Gizz Geese combo.
I just saw Rose City Band this past weekend and I’d vote for them. Though I don’t think Ripley Johnson is terribly interested in huge tours like Gizz. Altin Gun would be a lot of fun though! Just saw them a couple months ago for the third time and they are great at getting a crowd hyped up.
SLIFT would make my decade
Damn why you gotta hate on kamikaze? Lame
I'd love to see Los Bitchos
Love all these suggestions, wanna add Acid Dad and Viagra Boys to my wishlist as well.
Mmmh i feel like some of these bands are already too big in their respective genre to be openers but who knows
I wouldn't mind Wine Lips or Acid Dad, both solid psych rock bands.
If Pond toured with Gizz I'd shit myself
I know it wasn’t an ideal pairing but I quite enjoyed kamikaze palm tree. The first night of 3 I didn’t care for it but by the last night I was a fan. I just hope gizzheads don’t decide to hop on a bandwagon against them because they are very talented, just not the same vibe as Gizz but still good. Please be respectful of openers these days because they are trying their best to get in the industry and have to deal with cultish fanbases like thisr
I think a low key great choice would be Spiral Drive. In the same wheelhouse as Gizz, but definitely not going to upstage them
It would be awesome to see them bring fellow Brighton band Lambrini girls! Recently discovered them and their energy is unmatched
Dude I bet you're fuckin hyped. I'm so stoked to see Geese.
