After releasing two new albums in 2019, prolific Aussie rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard unexpectedly dropped three live albums just two weeks into the new year, with all proceeds going toward Australian wildlife rescue efforts. Added to that, the band has announced a gaggle of gigs for 2020, including marathon shows at Red Rocks and the Greek Theatre, festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Pol'and'rock, and an appearance at my nephew Jake's 7th birthday party.

Given the outdoor Colorado location of the Red Rocks amphitheater, fans of King Gizzard have speculated that the band may utilize the wild west setting to perform their spaghetti western album Eyes Like the Sky. My nephew Jake, age 6, told his father that he hopes to hear at his 7th birthday party "those weird songs from that weird album you always listen to," which could mean literally anything from the band's entire discography.

The tradition of inviting famous bands to my nephew's birthday parties began two years ago when Jake requested "cake," and John McCrea showed up unannounced. This year, Jake declared that he wanted "wizards and dinosaurs" for his birthday, and this is the closest his increasingly destitute father could muster.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard will be playing at the annual free music festival Pol'and'rock in Kostrzyn, Poland on the 31st of July, and the band is scheduled to perform at Jake's 7th birthday party in his parents' backyard in Williamstown, New Jersey on May 8th, between two and four PM. Anyone planning to attend the party should RSVP to Jake's mother, Carol, via Facebook. Attendees are encouraged to bring paper plates, caffeine-free soda, and first-aid kits for any children wishing to partake in a mosh pit. Please note that the party will be DRUG FREE, so parents are asked to NOT bring any marijuana to pass around should the band play Head On/Pill.

General admission tickets for Bonnaroo start at roughly $280 USD, while the required entry fee for my nephew Jake's 7th birthday party is one family-size bag of Utz potato chips (sour cream or ripples) and an optional pack of hot dogs to be grilled in the evening. Should you bring hot dogs, please supply an equal amount of hot dog buns as well. Thank you.

Should any of the band be reading this, my nephew Jake, age 6, wishes for you to gift him one jar of Vegemite, although this isn't required so long as each of you brings the aforementioned bag of chips.

Boy, 2020 sure is shaping up to be a busy year for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard!
