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?
The Jesus Lizard
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)
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…
