Opening for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is no small feat, but Brooklyn-based rock band Geese soared high at Red Rocks Amphitheater, delivering a thrilling performance that cemented their status as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in the rock scene. Playing a mix of tracks from their albums 3D Country and 4D Country, Geese made the most of their time in the spotlight, offering the audience an electrifying introduction to their experimental brand of rock.

Their ability to blend experimental elements with an unmistakable rock backbone made each song feel fresh, yet familiar enough to keep the crowd engaged. Tracks like "I See Myself" and "Cowboy Nudes" were standout moments, displaying the band’s ability to shift effortlessly between frenetic, groove-heavy sections and more introspective, melodic breakdowns. Geese’s sound is undeniably adventurous, yet their live show revealed a band with impeccable control. Each member contributed to the intricacies of the music, but it was their collective synergy that made the performance truly captivating.

While Geese’s music can be described as experimental rock, it’s clear they’re having fun with it. Their set at Red Rocks was brimming with energy and a sense of playfulness. The band leaned into their quirks, offering up unexpected twists and turns in their songs, keeping the audience on their toes. With wild guitar solos and dynamic shifts, their music never felt stagnant—each track was a journey, and the crowd was along for the ride.

What makes this performance such a landmark for Geese is not only the opportunity to play at one of the most iconic venues in the world, but the fact that they’re opening for a band as revered as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. This moment felt like a major stepping stone for Geese, who are quickly gaining recognition for their daring approach to rock. Their performance at Red Rocks proved they have the chops to hang with the big names, and their tight, explosive set undoubtedly earned them new fans among the crowd.

As the set closed with a blistering rendition of 3D Country's "2122," Geese left the stage to rapturous applause, clearly having made a strong impression. They had successfully warmed up the crowd for King Gizzard, but more importantly, they had solidified their own identity as a force to be reckoned with in the modern rock scene.

Geese’s performance at Red Rocks was not just a great opening act—it was a declaration of intent. With their adventurous spirit, razor-sharp musicianship, and growing acclaim, it’s clear that this band is on the rise. And after a set like this, it won’t be long before Geese are headlining stages of their own.
