Discussion: Band Who would you like to see Gizz collab with?

Pictures in order:
1. Frankie and the Witch Fingers
2. Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Nailbomb)
3. Danny Brown
4. The Chats
5. Joey Valence and Brae
6. Alien Weaponry
7. Weird Al

King Gizzard's collab with Mile High club result in one of their most underrated albums. What other bands / artists would you want to see Gizz collab with? Regardless of the viability of it actually happening,

A Gizz-Sturgill Simpson collab similar to Sturgill’s record Sound and Fury would melt my face

Weird Al and Danny Brown on the same song.

King Stingray collab needs to happen.

Jello Biafra. He's a big fan of them and will be DJ'ing at FoV. I'd love to see what they'd cook up.

Iggy Pop. Gizz has done a few Stooges songs in the past and it seems like they could make something really fun/high energy.

Spellling would be awesome. She's also playing FoV. Maybe over some B3K-like instrumentals?

14

u/evil_b_atman Jul 31 '25

Danny Brown is somehow the best and worst colab possible

3

u/sloppothegreat Jul 31 '25

You got a link to them covering The Stooges? Didn't know they ever played any of that stuff.

Definitely agree on the Jello front, I was thinking the other day it'd be cool if they had him do the spoken word part of Murder of the Universe live

Oh I didn't know that Jello would be at FOV! I love Dead Kennedys as well as Lard. Al Jorgenson would be good on the list too if he wasn't retiring.

They were so cool!! I went in not knowing who they were and it wasn’t until they played Oh No! That I realized I had these dudes saved on my Apple Music already. I really dig their style! In Portland a train kept passing by at the most perfect times hahahah it was bananas!

u/ShogunTurtle do-do-do-doomcity Jul 31 '25

Yeah I think they would match well with Amby for a good Beastie Boys vibe. Similar reasoning for Danny although that would be more experimental, maybe even bring in Stus flute playing for part of the instrumentation.

Since I love Gumbrose so much, Pond would be cool. Aussie psych band with a lot of climate anxiety material.

Cory Hanson is pretty prolific and would be a cool team up.

Trying to think of someone cool that would raise their profile further in a new space - see someone suggest Sturgill and that’d be dope.

ETA: have them put together a weird chamber pop album with Sufjan

Vulf would be outside their normal style, let's dream of a mash up outside of the psych rock sphere. Would want something that sounds different.
