King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Discography Now Pay-What-You-Want On Bandcamp

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have taken another radical step with their extensive back catalogue. As of this week, all 27 of the band’s studio albums – as well as their 2011 EP Willoughby’s Beach, their live albums Chunky Shrapnel and Live In San Francisco ’16, and their 2022 remix album Butterfly 3001 – are up on the band’s Bandcamp at the pay-what-you-want “name your price” setting.

This means that you can access high-quality digital downloads of the band’s entire canon for nothing – although, if you pay a minimum of $1, the album is added to your personal Bandcamp collection and can be streamed in perpetuity (or an endless loop, Nonagon Infinity style) on the Bandcamp app. The entire catalogue can be perused now by visiting KingGizzard.Bandcamp.com.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – ‘Astroturf’

King Gizzard’s Bandcamp page was formerly host to their extensive bootlegs, which is now numbered at a staggering 64 following the release of the 69-track triple album Live At Field Of Vision ’25 last week (September 4th). They have all now been migrated to a separate Bandcamp account, dubbed Bootleg Gizzard – wherein “indie labels, bootleggers, fans [and] weirdos” are encouraged, should they so desire, to release these live albums (and the Polygondwanaland album) themselves. “Feel free to get creative with it if you like – it’s yours,” the band writes on the page – check it out here.

This is the latest anarchic move by the Melbourne psych-rock sextet with regards to their back catalogue, following their removal of it from Spotify earlier this year. “A PSA for those unaware: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invests millions in AI military drone technology,” the band wrote at the time.

“We just removed our music from the platform. Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform.” Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hotline TNT, Young Widows, WU LFY, and Dr. Sure’s Unusual Practice are just some of the acts to have followed suit – with GY!BE going one further and removing their music from all platforms entirely.

Speaking to The Los Angeles Times last month, bandleader Stu Mackenzie said the band’s decision to pull themselves from the platform was based on “reasons which are well documented” in regards to Spotify itself. “I don’t expect Daniel Ek to pay attention to this,” Mackenzie said. “We have made a lot of experimental moves with the way we’ve released records — bootlegging stuff for free.

“We have allowed ourselves a license to break conventions, and the people who listen to our music have a trust and a faith to go along on this ride together. I feel grateful to have the sort of fan base you’ll just trust, even when you do something a little counterintuitive. It feels like an experiment to me – like, ‘Let’s just go away from Spotify, and let’s see what happens’.”

The band will return to Australia in December for a run of shows alternating between their regular live set-up and shows in which they will perform with an orchestra; the full details are available here.
