King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard recently celebrated a Top 20 debut on the ARIA Albums Chart, a milestone for the band, whose famously rabid fan base bought up their most recent album, Nonagon Infinity, in droves.
As Tone Deaf reported earlier this month, the band entered the Top 20 of the Albums Chart at a very respectable No 19, with their latest release sandwiched right between fellow Australians Sia and Luca Brasi.
Back in March, the band debuted the first single to be taken from Nonagon Infinity, the fuzzed-out ‘Gamma Knife’, alongside pre-orders for the vinyl edition of the album. They quickly sold out of all 1,500 of them and then a subsequent deluxe release.
But the band’s chart success isn’t contained just to Australia. As it happens, the Melbourne psychedelic collective have one of the highest selling vinyl albums in the world right now, with Nonagon Infinity scaling the US charts.
The band’s eighth album debuted at incredible No 2 on the Billboard Vinyl Albums Chart last week and it remains in the Top 10 this week, sitting between releases by mega artists like Amy Winehouse and Panic! At The Disco.
The band are currently busying themselves in the US as they gear up for their latest Australian national tour, which kicks off in June. Of course, all fans want to know is when they can expect the King Gizzard movie.
The band recently debuted their latest music video, ‘People Vultures’, accompanying the clip with the news that there will be a Nonagon Infinity album movie set to premiere later in the year some time.
