... MoreGong is a progressive rock band formed by Australian musician Daevid Allen in 1967 after he left the UK band Soft Machine and moved to France. The band is known for its eclectic and avant-garde approach to rock music, which incorporates elements of psychedelia, space rock, jazz fusion, and world music. Gong's music is often characterized by whimsical and surreal themes, particularly the "Radio Gnome Invisible" trilogy of albums, which includes "Flying Teapot," "Angel's Egg," and "You." These albums tell the story of Zero the Hero, the Pot Head Pixies, and their adventures in the Planet Gong universe—a mythology created by Daevid Allen.
