"King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have raised the bar. After leaving Spotify earlier this summer over the streaming platform CEO Daniel Ek's investment in AI drone technology, the Australian psych rockers have added all of their music to Bandcamp, using a name-your-price model for fans looking to access their digital catalog. "Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform," the band posted to Instagram back in July."

King Gizzard removed their music from Spotify earlier this summer in reaction to CEO Daniel Ek's investment in AI drone technology. The band uploaded their entire catalog to Bandcamp and implemented a name-your-price model so fans can choose payment for digital access. Paying supporters receive unlimited streaming via Bandcamp's free app. The band's discography now occupies the entire Top 25 of Bandcamp's best-selling albums list. Other artists, including Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, have also pulled music from Spotify for similar reasons. The band will resume touring with orchestral shows and rave sets beginning October 31 in Manchester.
