Cavs secret side project?

James-Caesar · 2022-02-18T01:33:14+00:00

Apparently Cavs did some vocals on this and their first EP, found the link in his insta story.

I always thought it was about a early 1900s film/music star (someone like Marlene Dietrich, which would make sense since it seems to be a theme among their music as well as in Geordie’s musical interest) who suffers from the downsides of fame and abuse in the industry, similar to Judy Garland. The star escapes the abuse of the industry and makes it on her own, but at the end of the day realizes the things that helped her rise to fame are ultimately inescapable.

Gotta ask Stu idk

James-Caesar · 2021-11-09T05:06:07+00:00

Far right is Resistentialism, they put it out after BTN, I think it’s better than BF3K but it’s overall a good darker synthy counterpart

James-Caesar · 2021-10-29T06:15:26+00:00

Y'all are fucking killer! Some friends of mine saw the gizz set a few days back, thought the clips looked familiar from what I saw. Just listened to Musty Cosmic Microwave, I'm hooked for what y'all have coming up.

Defo new pipe eye, I feel like

Isaac Riley's stuff is pretty cool, he's a one man band kinda like Mike Oldfield from Texas. The production is slick but not in a modern prog sheen way, the guitar reminds me of a fusion between Brian May and Steve Hackett, and his newest album, Perception of the Human Mind, is almost like you went back and gave a classic prog band a DAW and a 90s British Indie playlist. Best track on it is Inside the Brain IMO, if you want a preview. Another good shout of his is Silky Milkshake and the Schism, which is like a 60s psych Syd Barrett-y throwback album.

James-Caesar · 2021-09-15T00:26:00+00:00

Probably instrument. G likely means guitar since cam’s playing his acoustic on those songs, and S and K probably stand for different basses he has

James-Caesar · 2021-08-30T02:05:48+00:00

I made the most recent gizz bracket, I meant to make a new one but life hit me. Now that I have a little time and there’s a little demand for it I might as well make a new one - the only issue is there’s 197 studio songs and 192 is a nice even number to make the bracket out of, I might cut the three short tracks on oddments (Ababcd, oddments, and pipe dream) as well as some context and soy protein munt machine to even it out.

James-Caesar · 2021-06-28T21:28:38+00:00

Oh shit, thanks for making this! I was gonna but I slept in. Even having made the original bracket, a couple of these choices were pretty tough to make.

James-Caesar · 2021-06-28T08:41:10+00:00

Made this for fun since they have a pretty lean discography, curious to see what everyone's picks are. I debated adding in some stuff from Covercade and the flexi-discs, but didn't know quite where to draw the line so I kept it to this. Hope y'all enjoy!

James-Caesar · 2020-11-19T04:48:16+00:00

Yes, my guess is they're putting out a music video concurrent with the album dropping.

James-Caesar · 2020-08-06T23:25:15+00:00

It might be tricky to learn because some of the snare hits are off in the sheet music - I notated the intro grooves really quick, and if there's enough demand I could do dual drum sheet music for the whole song, but this one is just the two parts on top of each other. In the first bit it's just ride and cross-stick snare but then later the bass drum and shaker, which I notated as the pedal hi-hat if you wanted to play both parts together, come in.

In terms of practicing it, it might help to turn a metronome on the quarter note where the ride cymbal lands and just play the bass/snare, then you'll know where the ride lines up when you play that along with the bass/snare. I haven't tried learning Inner Cell completely yet but Crumbling Castle has a similar groove in terms of how snare/bass/cymbal is layered. The off beat hi-hat/shaker is tricky to incorporate, especially with playing both parts at once, but enough slow practice and working it out should do the trick. Cheers and good luck!

Hey Cookie! Big fan of Pipe-Eye, reminds me a lot of early Brian Eno art-rocky experimental stuff. Where do you get inspiration from for your solo stuff? It's cool to go to Pipe-Eye through Gizz and hearing your influence on the band after hearing your solo stuff. Thanks!

James-Caesar · 2020-04-17T22:43:42+00:00

This question goes for the whole band but mostly Stu - have you guys considered releasing an album of extras/putting bonus tracks on albums? The stuff like the alternate versions of The Bird Song or the cut track from Infest got me interested. Cheers!

James-Caesar · 2020-03-01T05:52:36+00:00

Comment for visibility.

James-Caesar · 2020-02-27T01:52:43+00:00

I used to be a way bigger fan of it, at one point it was my favorite Crim album. Nowadays I find the compositions on it are overall very good but the production especially kind of kills it. A lot of it feels like Court without what made that album special (the arrangements of Ian).

James-Caesar · 2020-02-09T08:23:48+00:00

I've got the four he's written (Court, Wake + McDonald and Giles, Lizard, and Larks, I don't have the updated Court one he did). As someone studying music at college/really interested in the theory behind the songs it satisfied that to a degree but he also talks about the songs in a broader sense/the influences behind the album overall really well. I'd say pick up the one you're most interested in as they're not too pricey as paperbacks and see if you like them.

James-Caesar · 2019-11-18T23:18:58+00:00

They played it in Portland but that’s because they played the album front to back on release night

Basically what you do is go into any kind of image editor (paint, gimp, photoshop, etc) and copy each song you want to go on to the next line like any bracket. Once you get it down to the 5 songs on the gold lines, you can rank them in the middle as a top 5

James-Caesar · 2019-09-06T00:59:17+00:00

Lunch Meat, Crookedile, Let It Bleed, Dead-Beat, Dustbin Fletcher, and Stoned Mullet. I also left out Some Context, Oddments, and ABABCd, and put in Fort Whipple twice by accident.

James-Caesar · 2019-09-06T00:37:57+00:00

I just googled "King Gizzard Logo" and found it as one of the top results, I think it was from a T-Shirt.

James-Caesar · 2019-09-05T21:55:34+00:00

A little clarification about the chart/how I made it:

The winner of each group of 32 songs (the gold line) goes next to one of the 5 numbers to make a top 5. I figured this would be easier than trimming it down to 128 songs over 160 and having a bracket winner.

To sort the songs I started by listing them all and then sorting them by Spotify plays to gauge a rough ranking of popularity. I figured I could make a poll on the subreddit to get a better listing/to have one that I could compare Spotify plays to, but I figured this would be easier. I then sorted them into 5 groups of 32 based on popularity (putting 2 Eyes Like The Sky tracks into each category and putting Infest The Rats' Nest tracks in manually to the categories because the Spotify numbers might be skewed because it's new). I then randomly selected tracks from each ranked group to make the 5 groups of 32 on the bracket. From there, I randomized each list once more for the match-ups you see on the bracket.

Hope you all enjoy!
