King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, are an Australian neo-psychedelia band who also dabbles with some surf music elements, kraut-rock, psychedelic folk and heavy metal. The music reminded me a bit of the Grateful Dead mixed with some Can, Led Zeppelin and Buffalo Springfield. Well worth the listen, and nice music clips too.
