OK, I'll admit that I did a cartoonish double take over my Thanksgiving leftovers when I read that THE JESUS LIZARD ARE REUNITING "for a very limited series of live dates in 2009," according to the band's former label Touch & Go, which will also be reissuing four classic albums from the group. This [...]

This provocative and entirely untrue headline was my way of:1) capitalizing on the goodwill fostered by our previous swine flu posts,2) letting you know that the recently reunited Boss Hog has joined the ATP NY weekender lineup, which also includes The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Boredoms, and Black Dice.Echoing my earlier sentiments about this overpriced music [...]

On stage David Yow was a drunken, shirtless, cowboy-boot-stomping, slurred-speech wreck. It sounds like the kind of guy I hate to be near - especially at a show. But at Jesus Lizard shows, when they were still around and I was in my early twenties, I would press myself against the stage to be close to him and I would gaze up at him and smile--exhilarated.He had everything I always wanted in a r...

Well the exam is done, and I'm feeling confident and also quite relaxed. I now have my weekends and evenings back. That pile of vinyl is demanding to be transfered onto Ipod - and it will happen!However for now I'm drifting back, listening to some live Black Flag and also the Jesus Lizard...Found this on You Tube and its quite appropriate for my memories of a great and unique band. Having se...

If you combined rape, murder, and suicide into one thing and transformed it from a crime into music, it would sound like The Jesus Lizard. Which is why I like it so much. Good shit.

I never saw Jesus Lizard in the 90’s. I actually got into them through Tomahawk, guitarist Duane Dennison’s band with Mike Patton. Last night, I went to go see them.Jesus Lizard are the reason people should go see live music. I have a lot of their albums. I’ve always liked them alright, but they’re not [...]

Zigzagging between puddles, I walked hesitantly down 13th Avenue toward The Crystal Ballroom, motivated purely by the thought of my dear friend, Jonathon, waiting patiently for me inside. Though I had never seen, nor listened to these guys, and even though Jonathon had seen them four times before, he insisted that the Jesus Lizard would be the “greatest concert experience of your life.” I scof

Well, it's not really a proper rock song (there are traces of the traditional verse-chorus-etc structure, but you can't really point at "the chorus"), but it pretty much contains EVERYTHING I like about rock music. This is the version from their compilation Bang (originally "off a give-away 7" from the Marquee in London september 1992" the booklet says), and somehow I like it more than the prop...

One of the greatest live bands ever, the Jesus Lizard have reunited to play some dates in 2009. (Seeing them at CBGB's in '92 was maybe the best show I've ever witnessed.) For the first time in a dozen years, you'll be able to witness the incomparable original lineup of Duane Denison, David Wm. Sims, Mac McNeilly, and of course, David Yow. (Watch out for the hairy tangerine.) So far they're pen...
