Background

According to Tropical Fuck Storm bassist Fiona Kitschin, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard were recording their fourteenth studio album, Fishing for Fishies at a house the band owned. One day while they were recording the album, the band and Tropical Fuck Storm all wore hats and recorded a jam called "Hat Jam". King Gizzard would use the jam as a basis for their 2022 song "The Dripping Tap", while Tropical Fuck Storm turned it into Satanic Slumber Party.[3] The EP was first teased in August 2021, when Gareth Liddiard announced that a collaboration between the two bands would be on the way on Reddit.[4] According to the Bandcamp description, the fictional background for the EP is:

"Somewhere along a frayed thread of time, a King Gizz and a Tropical Fuck Storm convened under the cloak of night for a slumber party of the satanic persuasion…Pumped full of booze and adrenaline, two of psych-rock’s most powerful joined forces for a 20-minute “Hatjam” chockfull of sax skronks, brick-heavy distortion, and punchy riffs. Satanic Slumber Party arrives just in time for your possessed pleasure."[5]

Fiona Kitschin has described the EP as “four guitars, three drummers, two synths, bass, harmonica, electronic sax and lots of singers and silliness. It’s like ‘Love Shack’ by the B-52’s except it’s evil.”[6]
