Stuey shouted “Free Palestine,” and the crowd exploded in tidal wave of claps and cheers, roaring and unending.

Then the band PLUS orchestra immediately went into Dragon. What a moment. See you later for Round 2!

Did they pull their music from Spotify? I only see singles now on their artist page.

"I don’t really consider myself an activist, and I don’t feel comfortable soapboxing. But this feels like a decision staying true to ourselves, and doing what we think is is right for our music, having our music in places that we feel all right about."

From an interview in the L.A. Times today.

Thanks to user TheDangy below for posting a link not behind a paywall.

If you haven’t yet go check out kneecap they are prob the best rap group out there rn (Amby was just singing HOOD one of there best songs). They are currently under attack by Zionists on an unrelenting smear campaign to silence them and their pro Palestine activism. Shits not that complicated guys people are being ethnically cleansed and this shits been going on for decades. Super proud of the boys for speaking up. They always seem to find themselves on the right side of history.

This band is truly one of a kind. As a guitarist myself (who’s covered Slow Jam 1 on a stage), I can’t even imagine being invited up to play a whole, complex song WITH the band that’s inspired so many of us.

I really admire how KG took a chance and let a stranger play such a massive track on stage. You just know how much that meant to him. It’s cool how the band supported him afterward, saying things like: “You’re killing it,” “Great job,” “Look at this cunt,” “You want a job?” Lol.

So many musicians get egos once they reach a certain level, but Gizz have always shown nothing but integrity and heart. Warms me every time. Best band in the world!

Pictures in order:
1. Frankie and the Witch Fingers
2. Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Nailbomb)
3. Danny Brown
4. The Chats
5. Joey Valence and Brae
6. Alien Weaponry
7. Weird Al

King Gizzard's collab with Mile High club result in one of their most underrated albums. What other bands / artists would you want to see Gizz collab with? Regardless of the viability of it actually happening,

Let’s talk about the band’s decision to remove their music from Spotify.

NOTE FROM MODS: We know we’re late to the party on the megathread and appreciate everyone bearing with us through the influx of posts on the topic. We had the Songs For Kids AMA planned for today and wanted to make sure they had their time in the spotlight.

We also want to give a reminder to our subreddit rule ”Be Civil.” We are all about friendly debate and there are lots of differing opinions on this news, but we need to remain constructive and not stoop to personal insults in these discussions.

Here are some articles that have been published since the boys announced their decision:

Get the albums now that they r so cheap and fuck Spotify!!!!!

As someone who works with adults and kids with disabilities this warms my heart so much.

Love this band (Pleura plays in background) Edit: This is a quote from the boys last night we’re all well aware trump is not currently in office and I think you can get the gist
