The Australian band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard managed to record six albums before before finally squeezing into KEXP's live room. Granted, it's only been three years since the Melbourne outfit's debut. But in honor of its seventh — and, for the first-time ever, acoustic — record, Paper Maché Dream Balloon, the group finally made it to Seattle to share some of its electrified psychedelic garage jams. These include the 10-minute song "The River" and a medley of "I'm In Your Mind" madness, complete with three guitars, two drummers, bass and a blazing harmonica. Watch the band perform "I'm In Your Mind" here.
