1063 DAYS: A KING GIZZARD MINI-DOCUMENTARY
In early November of 2019, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard announced a three-hour marathon set at Red Rocks Amphitheater on May 6, 2020. Tickets sold out in less than 24 hours. Another marathon set was added for May 5.
Fans eagerly awaited these shows, knowing that they would be something special…
Then the pandemic hit. Life slowed to a halt. People stayed at home, hoping for some pre-pandemic normalcy to return.
1,063 days. 34 months. Nearly three years spanned between the announcement of King Gizzard’s Red Rocks shows in 2019 and the band walking on stage in 2022.
These shows had always been special, but after the long wait, they became more than just a show. They were a goal, something that people had to look forward to even during the darkest days of isolation and confusion. During the fan meet up before 2 of the 3 Red Rocks shows, we interviewed fans to learn what King Gizzard meant to them, why they held onto these tickets for so long, and how their lives had changed since the announcement of these shows.
This documentary is dedicated to the beautiful fan base that has blossomed through this wonderful band. King Gizzard fans are a special group of caring, kind, compassionate, creative people and it feels incredible to be a part of the weirdo swarm. We love you all, and we hope you love this project.
23 studio albums is just the beginning. Cheers to many more years of Gizz!
