About
Gong are a British psychedelic and space rock band formed in Paris in 1967 by Australian guitarist Daevid Allen and vocalist Gilli Smyth. Their early-1970s Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy - Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You - built an elaborate cosmic mythology around characters like Zero the Hero and the Pothead Pixies, and remains their most celebrated work. After Allen's death in 2015, the band continued under frontman Kavus Torabi, releasing a run of new studio albums and touring without pause.
