Formation and Touch & Go years
The band began in Austin, Texas, when guitarist Duane Denison asked David Yow, formerly of Scratch Acid, to play bass on some songs he wanted to record. Yow suggested that he sing and have former Scratch Acid bassist David Wm. Sims play bass instead. The resultant group took its name from a common nickname for the basilisk, a type of lizard that can run on water. The trio rehearsed several times in Austin with a drum machine. Yow and Sims moved to Chicago in 1988, and Denison followed the nex...
Capitol years and breakup
The band signed to Capitol Records in 1995, recording the song "Panic in Cicero" for the Clerks soundtrack and making appearances at Lollapalooza shortly thereafter. Impressed by his work on The Melvins' Stoner Witch album, the band hired producer Garth Richardson to record their next record, Shot, the following year. While rumors that Albini refused to work with the band due to their involvement with a major label persisted, both Albini and the group have stated this to be false.[citation ne...
Post-breakup
In 2000, Touch & Go issued Bang, a CD of 7" tracks and rarities. The members remained musically active: Denison began performing with Tomahawk, continued to play with Kimball in The Denison/Kimball Trio, and backed Hank Williams III on tour. In 2006, he also formed U.S.S.A. with bassist Paul Barker (ex-Ministry). McNeilly played drums in P.W. Long's Reelfoot recording "Push Me Again", and continued to play along with his wife in their band Mouse. He recorded with Steve Albiniin February 2007...
Their music featured a scathing mix of piercing guitar, machine-like drums, propulsive bass guitar, and psychotic vocals. Denison's stinging guitar often served more as texture or coloring than as a rhythm or lead instrument, while the rhythm section's stops and starts were simultaneously precise and brutal. David Sprague suggests that "Yow's disjo...

I Jesus Lizard sono un gruppo noise rock formatosi nel 1987 a Chicago. La band, nata dalle ceneri del seminale gruppo texano Scratch Acid [1], prese il proprio nome dalla comune denominazione in lingua inglese del Basiliscus basiliscus, una lucertola che può correre sull'acqua.
Giudicate voi, se acquistate (e non ve ne pentirete) ´´Bang´´, la raccolta postuma dei Jesus Lizard uscita nel 2000 per la fedele ‘Touch and Go’ di Chicago. Nel retro copertina troverete un gran cuore con dentro una testa di lupo in evidente fase di avvistamento di una sua simile, divertente.
18 gen 2000 · The Jesus Lizard were one of the loudest, tightest, toughest rock bands ever. They were the Stooges of the 90's. And we don't have to worry about David Yow making solo albums like Avenue B....
