Stu Mackenzie
Stuart Douglas Mackenzie is an Australian musician best known as the frontman of psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Early life Mackenzie grew up and went to school in Geelong. His father played guitar to him and his brother growing up, which influenced young Mackenzie. Due to his father being a left-handed guitar player, Mackenzie originally learned to play guitar upside down. His early influences were AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Paul Kelly. He began playing guitar and other instruments at age 15. He was later influenced by heavy metal artists like Rammstein, Kreator, Sodom, Slayer and Metallica, but found the style too difficult to play on guitar, so played garage rock and rock and roll. Mackenzie was part of the local music scene in Geelong and performed at various open mics. Mackenzie would join and form several bands within the local Melbourne music scene, some of which included future King Gizzard members such as Michael Cavanagh, Lucas Skinner a ...

Nicholas Johnson from Brag Magazine gave the EP 4 out of 5 saying "Pipe-Eye know how to spit some serious cosmic wisdom. Then they leave you to ponder it over the course of the 30 to 60 second segue tracks that pepper the record. It adds a nice buffer to what is otherwise essentially a four-track EP by giving it a theatrical feel… It may not resonate with everyone, I'm sure some will feel cheated by the 50 per cent split between songs and noisy interludes. But it gives the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2019–20 Australian Bushfire Season
The 201920 Australian bushfire season (Black Summer), was a period of bushfires in many parts of Australia, which, due to its unusual intensity, size, duration, and uncontrollable dimension, is considered a megafire. The Australian National University reported that the area burned in 2019/2020 was "well below average" due to low fuel levels and fire activity in unpopulated parts of Northern Australia, but that "Despite low fire activity overall, vast forest fires occurred in southeast Australia from southeast Queensland to Kangaroo Island." In June 2019 the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service acting director warned of the potential for an early start to the bushfire season which normally starts in August. The warning was based on the Northern Australia bushfire seasonal outlook noting exceptional dry conditions and a lack of soil moisture, combined with early fires in central Queensland. Throughout the summer, hundreds of fires burnt, mainly in the southeast of the country ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
