Members of Tame Impala, Geese, Pond, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have all been spotted together in the studio.
Geese have just wrapped up the Australian leg of their ‘Getting Killed’ world tour – in support of their five star record of the same name.
However, it appears they’re not quite finished in the country just yet. Geese’s touring keyboardist Sam Revas posted a video on Instagram, showing Max Bassin and Emily Green jamming with members of Tame Impala, Pond, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at a studio in Perth.
Kevin Parker can be spotted on guitar duties, with Pond members Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, and James Ireland accompanying alongside King Gizz multi-instrumentalist Ambrose Kenny-Smith. The snippet revealed the supergroup playing a funky bongo extract.
Though the collaboration might come as a surprise to some, the bands have all known each other for years. Pond’s members are longtime touring bandmates with Tame Impala, while Kenny-Smith has collaborated with Watson on a 2024 album called ‘Ill Times’. Meanwhile, Geese have previously toured with King Gizzard, opening for them on their US leg of their 2024 tour.
Watch the mighty jam session below:

Last October, Tame Impala released their fifth studio album ‘Deadbeat‘ which NME rated three stars. “Where on ‘The Slow Rush’ he sought to reconcile with his insecurities to ground himself through a new life, ‘Deadbeat’ is where he embraces them as part of his DNA,” we wrote.
“The self-deprecation on its surface masks a deeper conflict within ‘Deadbeat’: that Parker has grown outside his comfort zone, only to strike a kind of lyrical inertia that becomes detrimental to his new vocabulary of music.”
Meanwhile, King Gizzard have recently pulled their albums from Spotify in protest of CEO Daniel Ek’s investments.
“A PSA to those unaware: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invests millions in AI military drone technology,” they wrote, with frontman Stu Mackenzie commenting in a separate interview: “We’ve been saying fuck Spotify for years”.
After putting up their albums on Bandcamp for “name your price”, they responded to reports they had been replaced with an AI band called ‘King Lizard Wizard’: “Trying to see the irony in this situation. But seriously wtf we are truly doomed”.
