2022-05-06Hot Water8:25King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Frontón México Mexico City CDMXMexicoComing right out of Mars For The Rich, the band takes no time going straight into an intro jam. As soon as the flute comes out the band "heats up" and fires into an intense version of the track, with the last half featuring some especially great flute trills from Stu. Right as the track begins to wind down, they take a left turn when Stu swaps to guitar, entering an ambient outro which prompts Joey to pick up the flute himself.
