We’ve firmly established that Melbourne psych favourites King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have some of the most rabid fans in the world. And when we say the world, we really mean it.
Take Ashkan, for example, a King Gizz fanatic from Tehran, Iran, who travelled all the way to Amsterdam to see them. Or Brandon from San Francisco, who has a King Gizz tattoo sleeve.
But we may now have to go back and edit our feature on King Gizzard’s most rabid fans, because “Debra & Mikey”, two natives of Arcata, California, deserve some kind of super-fan trophy.
Taking to the official Facebook page for Flightless Records, the band’s label, a rep shared an image of a rather charming postcard depicting some of California’s iconic redwood trees.
“This card was left at the merch table in Geelong last night,” the rep writes. “It’s from Debra & Mikey who flew all the way from Arcata, California to see King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard perform in Melbourne, Ballarat & Geelong.”
According to the missive, Debra and Mikey used to follow the Grateful Dead around. Funny, because Cris from Houston, Texas, who was also featured in our Gizz super-fan feature, fell in love with the Melbourne group by way of the Grateful Dead.
Your move, Violent Soho fans.
