The Jesus Lizard

Since their inception in Chicago in 1987, the Jesus Lizard has thrilled audiences all over the planet. The impeccable rocket-thrust rhythm section of Sims and McNeilly was the perfect launchpad for Denison’s jagged yet clean-toned riffing and Yow’s mercurial vocalizations manifesting as everything from a panicked citizen, reality escapee, or wounded sea mammal. The Jesus Lizard’s fury carried on through six studio albums, two live recordings, and a brace of singles and EPs.
