Prolific Australian rock band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard has released three live albums to help support three different organizations providing animal-related relief services in the face of that country's unprecedented ongoing bushfires.


Nearly 6,000 firefighters, army reservists and specialists have been deployed to combat nearly 140 separate bushfires around the country.
