- Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), Ambrose Kenny-Smith (King Gizzard), and members of Pond and Geese filmed jamming in a Perth studio.
- Video posted on February 18, 2026 by Geese keyboardist Sam Revaz — social media went wild.
- No official project has been announced, but the close ties between these four bands are fueling speculation.
- The meeting was made possible by Geese’s Australian tour at the Laneway Festival 2026.
We keep a close eye on the psych-rock scene here at Woodbrass, and when we saw this video last Tuesday, we thought: “Something’s happening here.” Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), members of King Gizzard, Pond, and Geese, all gathered in a studio in Perth. No press release, just a raw Instagram clip, bongos, and enough talent to shake up the entire indie rock scene. Let’s break it down.
Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker was in the studio in Perth recently recording with Max Bassin, Emily Green, and Sam Revaz from Geese, Ambrose Kenny-Smith from King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and Nick Allbrook, James Ireland, and Jay Watson from Pond.

A dream jam session in Perth
It was Sam Revaz, Geese’s touring keyboardist, who set things in motion on February 18, 2026. In a short Instagram video, we get a glimpse of a Perth studio bringing together some of the most exciting musicians on today’s scene.
You can spot Kevin Parker on guitar, Ambrose Kenny-Smith (King Gizzard) on bongos, Nick Allbrook (Pond) on drums, along with Jay Watson, James Ireland, and Shiny Joe Ryan from Pond. On the Geese side, drummer Max Bassin and guitarist Emily Green round out this dream lineup.
Perth is the birthplace of Australia’s psych-rock scene. It’s in this West Coast city that Tame Impala and Pond grew up together, sharing members and studios since the early 2010s.
Bands with deep connections
While this gathering may seem surprising, it makes perfect sense. The members of Pond are touring musicians for Tame Impala — Parker was even a member of Pond until 2012. Jay Watson (aka GUM) and Ambrose Kenny-Smith released a joint album, Ill Times, in 2024. And Geese opened for King Gizzard on their U.S. tour that same year. This is a tight-knit network of artists bound by cross-collaborations, not a marketing stunt.
Geese, the missing link from Brooklyn
The presence of Geese at this jam is no coincidence. The Brooklyn quartet is on the rise: their third album Getting Killed (2025) was critically acclaimed, and the band appears on the BBC Radio 1 Sound of 2026 list. They had just wrapped up their first Australian tour with the Laneway Festival 2026 when this session took place — perfect timing to cross paths with the Perth scene.
If you don’t know Geese yet, start with 3D Country (2023) to discover their deconstructed rock before diving into the more radical Getting Killed.
Supergroup or just a jam between friends?
That’s THE question. For now, no official project has been announced. The video shows an informal session, with musicians gathered in a circle in a relaxed setting. Some fans are speculating about expanding the GUM / Ambrose duo into a larger collective.
Even if it remains just a jam, the fact that these musicians came together in a recording environment opens up fascinating possibilities. Parker’s songwriting, the energy of King Gizzard, the madness of Pond, and the fire of Geese — the chemistry could create something unprecedented.
A psych-rock scene more alive than ever
This jam comes in a rich context. Tame Impala released Deadbeat in 2025, King Gizzard made waves by removing their music from Spotify in protest of Daniel Ek’s military investments, and Geese is establishing itself as one of the most promising rock bands of its generation.
Want to discover King Gizzard since they left Spotify? Their entire discography (27 studio albums!) is available on Bandcamp on a “name your price” basis. An accessibility model that helped them reach the platform’s Top 25 bestsellers.
In summary
Official supergroup or a jam between genius friends? Impossible to say. But when Kevin Parker, Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Nick Allbrook, and members of Geese get together with instruments, the psych-rock scene holds its breath. We’ll be keeping our ears wide open. Stay tuned.
