| Jesus
Lizard Live DVD |
PR reports: While the studio recordings of
Chicagos Jesus Lizard are part of the canon of 90s indie rock, anyone who
saw them knows their reputation as thee live band of that era is completely
accurate. This DVD captures the original quartet in 1994 playing to a packed
and frenzied crowd at the Rat in Boston. The bands workman like approach
to their taunt, pummeling sound is contrasted by frontman David Yows Dionysian
revelry as he whips himself and the crowd into an ecstatic mess. This 2
camera shoot catches all the blood, spit and sweat of a truly killer live
band at their peak. Own it 06/05/2007!- Click

adds it to a circulating breeze of melody, which makes The Burning satisfying
to all the senses. - Read
