Monticello, NY.

Jesus Lizard fans love to swap war stories. They’ll tell you about how
bassist David Wm. Sims almost impaled them with his headstock during one
of his trademark gyrations, how guitarist Duane Denison stomped on some
poor crowd-surfer who launched into his amp, or how vocalist David Yow —
having already partially half-exposed his junk roughly a dozen times —
grabbed a male fan standing at the back of the stage and smooched him
square on the mouth. The latter actually did occur during a 1997
Lawrence, KS, gig I attended; the victim happened to be one of my best
friends. Or they might tell you with perverse relish how the Lizard
epitomize a rock subgenre known as pigfuck. AllMusic.com helpfully
refers to TJL’s sound as “scathing, disembowelling, guitar-driven
pseudo-industrial noise.” This kind of sordid myth making isn’t likely
to end anytime soon. The fact is that grime and raucousness are
entertaining — just ask the publisher of Mötley Crüe bestseller "The Dirt".
