Recordings

Due to the proximity to the release of L.W., the entire set list consists of the band's microtonal music including some rarely played songs from Sketches of Brunswick East . [1] [2] This performance was also one of the first after the departure of their second drummer, Eric Moore. [3] The performance was recorded and released on YouTube and Bandcamp as part of the band's official bootlegger program. [4] King Gizzard had greatly expanded their Bootlegger program during the COVID pandemic so their fans can have continued content and to make up for cancelled shows. [5] Body Type opened for the show, with the release of the show's recording being part of a promotion announcing a new slate of concerts across Australia. [6]

Reception

The performance was described as having "great tones and exciting overdrive" with specific praise for the guitar work. [3]
