It’s Pride Month and while reactionary extremists are maulding over that truth, a variety of Republican-led states around the nation are taking stringent positions versus drag programs, trans rights, and anything even from another location in the exact same vein. Regardless, events are still occurring and providing individuals an opportunity to commemorate and acknowledge the truth that love is love no matter what.
One such event was King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard‘s Pride Night performance this past Saturday. They were in the midst of a four-night residency at Tennessee’s The Caverns Amphitheater when the band’s members came out worn drag. While it wouldn’t be tough to think about such an act a form of demonstration, Spin reported that guitar player Joey Walker informed the crowd that their phase outfit truthfully had no ulterior intention whatsoever. *wink*
“This ain’t no protest, baby. This is a celebration!”
Later on in the program, keyboardist Ambrose Kenny-Smith informed the audience to attempt to keep in mind this efficiency for as long as they can, considering that it was “the first and last time you’ll ever see me onstage in shorts.”
While them remaining in drag on phase in a state that has a law versus drag programs in public put on the books (despite the fact that it’s been considered unconstitutional by a federal judge) would be news enough, the group of Aussies likewise handled to take some time to carry out a brand-new tune off their upcoming album, PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Just like the very first single, it’s a thrashy, stoner metal tune that kicks all sort of ass. Which is to be anticipated from the band’s 2nd take on a surge album.
