A DVD featuring a 65-minute set by The Jesus Lizard is to be released through MVD Visual on June 5.
Jesus Lizard: Live also includes footage of the Chicago alt-rockers, who split in 1999, performing at CBGB's. The main show comes from a 1994 set at Boston's Venus de Milo venue. Liner notes come from Michael Azerrad, author of the acclaimed Our Band Could Be Your Life.
Songs featured on the DVD include 'Gladiator', 'Mouthbreather', 'Puss', 'Mailman' and 'Chrome'. The Jesus Lizard's singer, David Yow, is currently performing with Qui, who play the SuperSonic Festival in Birmingham in July - click here for details.

rawwwr
aww yeus. top top band, anyone see them live? i saw them in northampton when he lost his wedding ring and had everyone searching on their hands and knees for it and found it thankfully, great show nonetheless and david yow gave me a beer :D
I saw them
at Reading festival in 1994 (I think), first time I'd heard of them and they blew me away, spent the next few years buying up their entire back catalogue!
.
Fucking A. What a band, wish I could've seen them live. What are Qui like?

I'm not feeling it :(
but I bet they could be quite good live. Especially given that it's YOW.
I had a friend back in the day who had a bootleg
Nirvana 'best of' CD with Puss on it credited to Nirvana.
I told him that it was actually a mistake (probably because the split-single thing) but he wouldn't accept it, in spite of the fact Dave Yow sounds not much like Kurt Cobain at all. And in samlltownsville in the pre-MP3 days it was difficult to prove otherwise.
We are no longer friends, and he's probably long forgotten about it, but I want to find out his address and send this DVD with a note saying 'IN YOU FACE MOTHERFUCKER. OWWWNED'.
Which makes me.....a psychopath.
......
this makes me happy
a band
who quite enjoyed pissing EVERYONE off. we need more of them, and fast.
Keane piss EVERYONE off
but I don't think they do it on purpose
made my day
yess yess this has made my day, I just wish Yow could screen-dive on me.
theres a good video
on youtube of David Yow getting on the head with a bottle, falling over, being dazed, lying down and then getting up after a bit, swearing and eventually carrying on.
I wish they'd reform!!!!
Christ! I loved the Jesus Lizard!!! If only they'd reform - but that's not going to happen, so I'm off to see Qui at Supersonic, see you there!
