Jesus Lizard

“”I had not seen the Jesus Lizard since Lollapalooza 1995 – the last year I choose to think of as being remotely true to what that festival was about. As hard as it is to believe that was 14 years ago, it is even harder to understand how frontman David Yow & Co. have managed to bring back this band – essentially dormant since 1999 – with this much ferocity. Yow may be 14 years older and a bit worse for wear, but the man caterwauls with an intensity that most 20 year old pretty boys will never match. The Irving crowd – a good portion of whom, at this 16+ show, were not even born when this band began in 1987 – remained in a frenzy throughout the set, turning the Irving floor into a thrashing sea of bodies, flying beers and more than a few sets of broken eyeglasses. While Yow stage-dove, mic in hand, the band delivered their tightly wound hardcore like the experts they are. Covering a range of the band’s catalog and with two encores, the 23-song set gave audience members a lot to scream about.”
