Gong is a psychedelic / progressive / jazz rock band founded in Paris in 1968. They are considered part of the "Canterbury Scene" known for its whimsical lyrics over jazz-drenched melodies. In fact, group founder Daevid Allen was a former member of Canterbury scene exemplars Music/SoftMachine and their predecessors The Wilde Flowers.
Under Allen, Gong were early purveyors of SpaceRock through a series of concept albums about the planet Gong, a world of "Pot Headed Pixies" and "Flying Teapots." Similarly to The Soft Machine, after 1976, they experienced GenreShift into a jazz-rock fusion band after the [[TheBandMinusTheFace departure]] of Allen and wife/singer/co-founder Gilli Smyth (and, after one post-Allen album much of the band's classic lineup as well). This iteration became known as Pierre Moerlen's Gong, which would go on to produce several albums of vibraphone-heavy instrumentals with more prominent guitar solos.
Meanwhile, the Gong universe continued through later incarnations such as Mother Gong until Allen and Smyth came back to re-form what jazz magazine ''Down Beat'' called his "gypsy carnival." Allen died in March 2015, but for the re-formed Gong, the show appears to go on.

Allen and co-founder Gilli Smyth reconvened Gong in 1992 with a mix of current and former members, with the two of them as the only constant members.

Allen was still leading Gong when he died in 2016, but he had encouraged the current version of band - all of which had joined in the preceding 10 years - to [[TheBandMinusTheFace continue on without him]].
