Aussie psych-rock favorite King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard continually impresses its die-hard fanbase, from ambitiously releasing five albums in 2017 to effortlessly genre-hopping through experimentation. Most recently, the seven-piece band (which includes two drummers) has gone metal to convey a message about the human race’s hand in climate change. They join Cheryl Waters in the KEXP Live Room to play five songs from the new record, Infest the Rats' Nest, and answer questions from fans. Recorded 08/18/2019

1. Mars For The Rich
2. Venusian 1
3. Perihelion
4. Venusian 2
5. Hell
