In this episode, I’m recapping King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s orchestral tour kickoff show at The Mann Center in Philadelphia on July 28th, 2025. This wasn’t just any King Gizz concert—it was a once-in-a-lifetime live experience featuring a live orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, led by conductor Sarah Hicks.

I dive into:

• The epic tailgate scene and pre-show vibes
• Highlights from the setlist.
• How the orchestra transformed my favorite tracks.
• The setlist surprises, venue, and overall experience
• My merch haul

Whether you're a hardcore Gizzhead or just curious about this unique tour, this recap covers everything you need to know about the band's latest boundary-pushing live show.

💬 Were you at the show? Planning to catch them on the rest of the orchestra tour? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

1982 was one of the most explosive years in punk history. It was a time when bands on both sides of the Atlantic were rewriting the rules and leaving a lasting mark on music. In this episode, I’m counting down my top 10 favorite punk albums from that iconic year. From raw aggression to anthemic hooks, these records still hit just as hard over 40 years later.
