Raphaël Pannier: Breaking Down Borders

Michael “Cavs” Cavanagh of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard • Every band needs a heartbeat. King Gizzard has “Cavs” pushing harder, louder, and bigger until the impossible feels normal. Recently there has been an orchestra at his back, a sold-out crowd in front of him, and nothing slowing him down.

RUMPUS • Rumpus grew up on punk rock and carried that raw, restless energy straight into the DJ booth. With a drum kit wired into his sets, he’s turning dance floors upside down, proving that live drumming can hit just as hard in the electronic world as it does on a stage with amps and guitars.
