King Gizzard Nonagon Infinity Pre-Release Listening Party

a1566708845_16 copy

Shuga Records is hosting a pre-release listening party for King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s new album Nonagon Infinity this coming Wednesday, April 27th at 7pm! We will be playing the album in it’s entirety … and since it’s designed to loop infinitely, we might never turn it off. Pre-Order on our website TODAY! Also, this is a FREE event, so if you need some convincing, just come listen! Either way you’ll be going home with a vinyl at some point. We guarantee it. #byow

We will be giving away the Nonagon Infinity Picture Disc TEST PRESSING on White Vinyl! (a lil’ weird but DOPE). Free to enter, purchase of Nonagon gets you 2 entries! ATO was kind enough to send us a box of goodies to giveaway as well, including King Gizzard tees, slip mats, PMDB cassettes, posters, + stickers!

“Nonagon infinity opens the door,” sings Stu Mackenzie, frontman of Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. It turns out, though, that once the door’s open, it never closes. That’s because the Melbourne septet has ingeniously crafted what may be the world’s first infinitely looping LP. Each of the nine, complex, blistering tracks on ‘Nonagon Infinity’ seamlessly flows into the next, with the final song linking straight back into the top of the opener like a sonic mobius strip. It’s exactly the kind of ambitious vision that prompted Rolling Stone to dub the band “one of the most compelling collectives of art-rock experimentalists in recent years.” But far from a simple conceptual experiment, the album is both an exhilarating shot of adrenaline and a remarkable feat of craftsmanship, the result of painstaking planning and an eye for detail years in the making.

March 10, 2016: The Foreign Resort Instore Performance

Foreign Resory instore performance at Shuga Records Chicago

The Foreign Resort is hoping off a plane from Europe and heading over to Shuga to perform for us Thursday, March 10th at 6pm! Be prepared for an intimate live session to kick off their US tour!

Sonically expressive, dark and moody, catchy and up-beat are words to describe this Danish trio that mixes melodic 80s new-wave with explosive post-punk.

Hailing from Copenhagen, The Foreign Resort takes the audience on a journey through passages of textured layers with haunting and dreamy vocals, to echoes and pulsations of overdriven guitars, powerful drumming, driving bass, and intense thematic melody lines.

For more information and updates, RSVP to the Facebook event here.
