==Trivia==
*Broderick Smith, who is Ambrose's father, collaborated on King Gizzard's second album .
*Many of the band's releases are based on a unique concept, yet share lyrical themes and feature characters that form a recurring cast, the most frequent being Han-Tyumi, a cyborg character who appears across multiple albums. Their songs also tell stories of people-vultures, bushrangers and Balrogs, as well as "lightning gods, flesh-eating beasts, sages and space-faring eco rebels".
**Members of r/KGATLW, a subreddit dedicated to the band, popularized the term "Gizzverse" to describe the overarching narrative of their discography, about which many theories have been propagated.
***In a 2017 interview, Stu Mackenzie confirmed that the band's releases are all connected, saying, "They all exist in this parallel universe and they may be from different times and different places but they all can co-exist in a meaningful way". In the same interview, drummer Eric Moore joked that even prior to the band's formation, they decided how the story will end.
