The saga of The Jesus Lizard begins in Texas. Vocalist David Yow and bassist David Wm. Sims were in the seminal Austin, Texas band Scratch Acid whose exploits are now legendary. Both moved to Chicago after Scratch Acid's demise where Sims played in Rapeman. Sims began playing with guitarist Duane Denison (Cargo Cult) and the two recruited Yow to do some singing... thus The Jesus Lizard was born. The Jesus Lizard helped create "alternative" rock, but kept it anchored to reality, refusing to be taken in by corporate marketing strategies.

Reviews & Discussion
one of the world's greatest live bands. although they kept fairly true to the music through their career, i harbor no ill feelings to their playing lollapalooza or signing to capitol records. cause, man, a band deserves credit (money) at some point after mucking it out in the trenches for SO long. (according to David yow.. when lollapalooza called they were like no thanks but when lollapalooza told them how much money they would get, jesus lizard were like.. yeah perry farell, gotta love him, bless his heart, yeah lollapalooza best idea ever). I actually enjoyed seeing them at lollapalooza especially when that doof beck thanked david yow for the wet stage do to an unreasonable amount of bodily fluid. their club shows were no less than stellar. RIP (or until at least the TnG 30year birthday bash)
