Miss P and I are seeing them at Pitchfork this summer, and I want to get acquainted with their material. Tell me where I should start. Goat? Liar?
-
Those are both great ones to start with. Also, please don't add a new Jesus Lizard topic unless there are DC-area dates :)
Also, they're the best live band ever.

Saw them at the old club. Will NEVER forget it.
-
mr. p/ms. p.
you will both LOVE the Jesus Lizard live show :)
saw them for the first time at Primavera Fest in Barcelona two weeks ago. David Yow stage-dived into the crowd FOUR TIMES! It was INSANE! I suggest you both be about 15 feet away from the stage, middle....unless you don't wanna catch a sweaty, balding, shirtless frontman with a big belly. I wish I did!
-
Four? He must be getting old...
I still have a piece of his shirt from when they played the second stage at Lollapalooza (after performing on the main stage). The thing smells like death...

Not to be Debbie Downer here, but when the Lizard played at the old club I don't ever remember Mr. Yow's feet ever touching the stage. That being said, it was 15 years ago and I'm glad to hear that he's still putting on that kind of show.
Sigh. I'll never forget my dad (RIP) speaking in his broken English with Duane Denison in front of our house about their touring Yugoslavia. Classic.
-
Agreed...their show at the old Black Cat was unreal. I'm pretty sure I was on-stage more than Yow :)

uh, yeah...tryin' to make this shit happen in philly on 9/10 or 9/14.
-
snailhook: i'm definitely in for 9/10 - i'd arrange to come home that night from NJ to DC, and "stop off" (aka spend the night) in philly.
i hope this means that other east coast dates are under negotiation, so i can catch more than one show :D
-
11/5 Cat's Cradle (Carrboro, North Carolina)
11/6 Variety Playhouse (Atlanta, GA)
-
well, now it looks like ATP will be the only september east coast date, and they're doing something extensive in november. i'm guessing philly on 11/2, baltimore on 11/3, and dc on 11/4 if carrboro is on 11/5.
-
coming
-
excellent!!!
-
EXCELLENT. A Baltimore show and a DC show? That's fantastic.

Are you guys saying Duane Denison isn't playing with Bobby Bare Jr. anymore?
-
Sorry, Charlie. Actually, I have no clue...hell, I just found out that Mark Ibold is a full-fledged member of Sonic Youth. I thought he was only a touring member.

I doubt it. Bobby seems to have a revolving door of musicians in his supportint cast. I saw Denison play in his band at Iota. I don't know much about Jesus Lizard, but can vouch for him being an excellent guitarist. 8)

Somehow I doubt you'd like them. Now maybe slam-dancin', Pixies-seein', Europe-back-packin' Rhett might have...

I'd be more concerned with a 50 year old man trying to pull off the Tight & Shiny. Gross.

these reunions are fucking stupid really the mbv is the only one that makes any real sense
-
I don't think any live music experience I ever have will top the intensity of that MBV show (except for another MBV show).
-
What is difference about the MBV reunion? Honestly curious. Is it the fact that new music may be coming? Because I'm almost always for just hearing the classics on these reunions. Call it nostalgic or whatever, but I'm cool with pumping my fists to "The Art of Self-Defense" as many times as possible.

-
>:( the gang of four and mission of burma reunions were ace
then again, those bands aren't known for even approaching the same level of sportsmanship that david yow brings to the stage.
-
Mission of Burma was pretty great.
As is Dino Jr.
-
can't forget that gang of four singer's chicken dance...it was scary and hilarious at the same time.
>:( the gang of four and mission of burma reunions were ace
-
Agreed on almost all accounts. Still cant' believe MoB and Dino have put out actual new music that's good. I was pretty psyched on the reunited Buttholes line-up, but then again, I pray to God they don't release any new albums. Same, in a way, with the Jesus Lizard. I'm not sure I'd be psyched on a follow-up to Blue.

mbv never really broke up
mbv dont have a dude singing about punching a chick and dragging her out of a truck, while thats great and all, i dont need to hear a dude pushing 50 and who gets nude on stage still trying. It's embarrassing
im not 16 anymore and dont need to hang around a bunch of dudes that still think amrep is the only label worth listening too, id rather hang around a bunch of dudes that listen to ride anyday.

Dear Mr. Hurwitz,
Thank you for bring Jesus Lizard to the club in November. Now, please do not erect any kind of barrier between the crowd and the band for the show. It is not really a Jesus Lizard show unless you can get to Dave Yow and he can get to you. Don't worry we will be fine.
Thanks.
-
They don't use the barricade unless the band specifically requests it. At least that's what I've been told.
-
totally off topic . . . but god i can't get the song pretty in pink out of my head.

the barriers are there to only protect the crowd - the talent, and property, are also considerations.

i'd hope that at some point, common sense kicks in and the club unilaterally decides that barricades are needed. not having them for bands like the prodigy or RATM would be irresponsible - how could staph assist the folks being crushed up front?
jesus lizard will sell well, but i'm not convinced they'll sell out the club. it will be interesting to see if the club decides to put up the barriers. i'm guessing they will.
but then where will I stand
uh, the usual: up on the side-stage balcony with the other juliettes.
-

really? jenny lewis sells out the club. i bet people will travel for the lizard
-
You might be right. Hell, Joe was willing to travel to Spain to see them, and he had never heard one note of their music!

Joe hadn't heard a note of their music? That's funny.
He also decided to see something lame over Shellac.
-
true, but I was there for a lot of other bands (such a killer lineup this year) but Jesus Lizard was one of the highlights...
p.s.: I owned goat and liar digitally a year prior... ;)
do what you do best, which is to sweet talk to me... :P

That makes sense. And come to think of it, every show I've been up front for this year has had a barricade. Maybe it's become routine practice now?
-
Do you really think a barricade will stop David Yow? Methinks not.
-
When I saw them at Lollapalooza, Yow was in the crowd 90% of the time, even on the main stage. I think he was more than happy to climb down from the stage and back up over the barricade, which reminds me a good story...
So later on that day, they decided to play the second stage as well. There were several non-band members watching from the side/back of the stage, and at one point, this 250+ lbs. guy decides to make a run for it and stage dive. He takes as big of a leap as he could off the monitors, and came crashing down on the railing at gut level. I still cringe when I think about him hitting that thing...although it probably would've been much, much worse had he hit the crowd. Oof.

Good point. It didn't stop Katy Perry (long story) from giving me a faceful of her vag a couple months back.

He wasn't at either of the Ani shows. But you were at both.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I ultimately bought a used copy of Goat at Baltimore's Sound Garden this past weekend, so when I finally give it a listen later today, I'll let you know what I think.
-

Just got my sonar ticket
-
I am sure this has been answered elsewhere on the board, so I apologize, but is there any word on when (or perhaps if) a softsale will take place for the 9:30 show. Altready have ticket to sonar.
-
Does anyone know if there's an opener?
-
opener = Noveller
http://www.930.com/concerts/#/930/1297/
-
Thanks. Got the Sonar show tickets. On the site it doesn't list an opener.
-
there are two openers for the Sonar show - Double Dagger and Animal Hospital. going to be one incredible show.
-
I have seen these guys at least 5 times in the 90s and every show was phenomenal. A friend saw the Anaheim show on the current tour and it sounds like long-time fans will not be disappointed. Quote from a friend that saw them in Anaheim :
"Equal parts sex, danger, comedy, dementia, and showmanship. David Yow's vocals sound like a kidnapping victim trying to scream through the duct tape. Plus he looks like he is having a siezure the whole time he is on stage while the band stands completely still and just stares at you. Nothing short of incredible."
How you you not go to that?
-
I cannot wait until Friday!
-
Wish I didn't have a job or I'd see them tonight. Looking forward to tomorrow's show. Just noticed the picture on the 9:30 site. Damn, I had forgotten how damn sexy Dave is. He just seems to paralyze you with his stare. Has People Magazine put out its "Sexiest" list for this year yet?
-
Mac McNeilly is looking mighty HOT in that pic...muy caliente...ouch
-
Wish I didn't have a job
just give the economy a little more time - it'll catch up to you.
-
Anyone know if it's close to selling out? I have a friend that is coming with me tonight and he needs a ticket...debating if I should just chance it at the door. Thanks!
-
when i asked last week, they said tickets would be available at the door. so... probably not.
-
saw the lizard in philly last night, and they absolutely delivered. they sounded as good as they ever did, and mac even had a drum solo at the end of the set. they played almost every song i wanted to hear. yow didn't take off his jeans, though, so no tight 'n' shiny.

Friday they delivered in Baltimore (the new LA) as opposed to DC (the new SF).
Greatest line from David Yow "We are the greatest band in the world, and you live in Baltimore".
