Stu Mackenzie of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard shares his thoughts on playing in historic venues during their European residency tour. Performing in places like the Ancient Theatre in Plovdiv and Lukiskiu Prison in Vilnius, he notes the significant contrast from typical tours. The band enjoys a more immersive experience, taking time to appreciate their surroundings and indulge in local culture, making them feel like tourists rather than just performers on the road. This approach enhances their connection to both the venues and their audiences.
We're like tourists on this trip... Usually you wake up after a long drive, you actually can't remember where you are... But on a tour like this, you actually have a moment to soak it up and breathe, which is rare.
It's hard not to feel like a speck here, awesomely adrift in all of human history.
