'''King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard''' are an Australian rock band formed in 2010 in Melbourne, Victoria.

The band uses custom or modified instruments, including [[guitar]]s, [[harmonica]] and [[keyboard]]s, tuned to a subset of [[24edo]]. The microtonal scale they use the most often is similar to the Dorian mode, but with a half-flat 2nd and a half-flat 6th. It is inspired by the tuning they found on a [[Wikipedia:Bağlama|bağlama]], a [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Turkish]] instrument,<ref>Mike Huguenor (21 August 2017).
