I found these guy's music by searching for microtonal rock music.
King Gizzard uses the 24-TET tuning scale which divides the octave into 24 equally tempered notes instead of 12. In other words there is an added note between each existing note, but all the notes of the standard 12 note scale are still the same.
This means that you can take a standard guitar or bass and add some or all of the extra frets that make the 24-TET scale. The bass is obviously a modified Fender Mustang bass, and the guitars are also modified. They didn't add all the extra frets, just some of them.
I like these two songs, and some or their other microtonal stuff, but some of their other records sound like "noise" to me.
The groove sounded familiar, can't place it exactly but it reminds me of Deep Purple's Highway Star.

I like this live version of Sleep Drifter. You can't tell from the audio stream that they have two drummers and some funny looking microtonal guitars.
Not sure if it will play in OZ or other countries though. It's from a US radio station. If it works, there are lots of short shows from unusual bands on their Youtube channel.

Today I discovered Crumbling Castle by King Gizzard.

The song is on their Polygondwanaland album which is a FREE download on their web site in WAV and MP3 formats, as well as the original masters. Burning myself a CD as I type this.
