The Jesus Lizard on tour

johnnywinternoshow 06.19.2009 08:02 PM

I saw them twice in two days last month. FUCKING UNMISSABLE! I have a bootleg of the sunday show if anyone's interested in an upload

jennthebenn 06.19.2009 08:06 PM

November 19th, 9:30 Club

Panto, you know about this?

atsonicpark 06.19.2009 08:13 PM

so, qui's dead already i imagine?

pokkeherrie 06.19.2009 08:27 PM

No, Qui played at ATP a few hours before their first reunion gig at the same stage. They had a special 7-inch for sale at the festival as well, with two songs from the upcoming Qui album.

It was great to see the difference between Yow as the lead singer of Qui and The Jesus Lizard. The first thing he did with The Jesus Lizard was jump straight into the audience before he even started singing (Puss). Even while crowdsurfing he didn't miss a single line.

atsonicpark 06.19.2009 08:36 PM

hm...

Sonic Youth 37 06.19.2009 08:56 PM

I'll be seeing them 2 or 3 days after I see Sonic Youth the day after I see Sonic Youth.

I'm hoping to go to the ATL show, though it's at the Variety so I'm buying tix fucking EARLY this time.

acdc518 06.20.2009 06:42 PM

seeing them july 14th in nashville. the venue has a loft thing so if anyone has a videocamera and wanted to film it, that would be a good place to do it.

loubarret 06.21.2009 07:29 AM

Seeing them live in Belguim on 20 august if I'm right.

there's an mp3 bootleg (1 file) floating around of 2009-05-10 (second ATP set). i'm guessing that's the one johnnywinternoshow has too.

i recorded 2009-05-09 myself (first ATP set and first reunion show) but because i was standing right at the front it's not a great listen, you can really hear the pushing, crowdsurfing and singing fans etc...

johnnywinternoshow 06.22.2009 11:25 AM

Yeah I have the May 10th bootleg and I'm probably singing in your recording of the first night too :D

arepeatingloop 06.23.2009 05:42 PM

'hope to go to the ATL show.

Rob Instigator 06.23.2009 06:28 PM

fucking enjoy it you lucky bastardssssss

Toilet & Bowels 06.23.2009 07:03 PM

are they not playing any texas shows?

Me too. :o


In other news, I just found out that I'll be seeing them again this year because they're playing at the Paradiso in September! :)
Tickets cost only 15 euros!

Alexander 06.23.2009 07:59 PM

November 12th at the Phoenix in Toronto! Can't wait! How I've longed for this moment.

ZEROpumpkins 06.24.2009 02:40 AM

HOLY FUCKING BALLS JESUS LIZARD ARE BACK
FUCK YEAHHHh

SONIC GAIL 06.24.2009 08:53 AM

Did you say JESUS LIZARD! Are they coming anywhere remotely close to Florida?:eek:

Sonic Youth 37 07.15.2009 01:17 AM

Yeah, the Nashville show didn't disappoint. David Yow is still insane.

Rupert 'Stiles' Stilinski 07.15.2009 02:16 AM

I can't wait for Friday!

PAULYBEE2656 07.15.2009 02:11 PM

checking them in dublin in a few weeks/months...whenever it is!

Sonic Youth 37 07.15.2009 07:26 PM

I think David crowd surfed 20 times...in less than 20 songs. He was in the crowd before he ever said a word except for running out 3 minutes before the show and telling the crowd that he "needed to take a piss" and a Michael Jackson-Farrah Fawcett joke as soon as he came back out.

i was fortunate enough to see YOW perform some jesus lizard material w/ the melvins. that will have to suffice for the time being because ive always wanted to see the butthole surfers, too.



i would see jesus lizard if i were you. they were amazing in nashville, and i've heard nothing but negative things about recent butthole surfers songs

PAULYBEE2656 07.16.2009 10:35 AM

ive only heard negative things about the buttholes since 1990!

Sonic Youth 37 07.20.2009 10:38 PM

In Nashville it was some rockabilly sounding band called the Pine Hill Haints or something to that effect. They were actually very decent.

loubarret 07.21.2009 03:45 AM

They are doing paradiso here with future of the left as opener.

Which is great but I won't be going because both them are on a festival I am goign to.

In the case of Jesus Lizard, if you mean David's antics and the band's tightness. They're still there. The band never missed a beat and were into it and David spent most of his time on top of the crowd.

Toilet & Bowels 07.21.2009 06:55 PM

i saw them in london (their 3rd show since reuniting), i would highly recommend catching them if you can.

jon boy 07.21.2009 06:59 PM

they are playing with sonic in a few days in seattle which i am gonna go catch. then up here in van.

DanielCarlson 07.22.2009 09:01 AM

I'd love to see them, hope they'll play here in Sweden someday. By the looks of videos they "still have it". David seems just as crazy as ever and the rest of the band seems to play tight.

Phlegmscope 09.18.2009 05:33 AM

I saw them in helsinki on wednesday. They do still have it, Yow kept his pants on but otherwise he was being just as crazy as I thought he'd be.
And was gently carried around on the arms of us, the inferior. He feels just as sweaty as he looks.
They played lots of stuff from goat and liar but no Lady Shoes which might be my favorite song of theirs. I minor and pointless complaint as it was probably the best gig I'll be seeing this year and definitely one of the most memorable ones.

Phlegmscope 09.18.2009 05:37 AM

Also, one of the hands around his crotch area is probably mine. The only place I could support him when he suddenly was gliding over us.

Great band. I used to own their albums "Goat" and "Liar".

Tokolosh 09.18.2009 06:25 PM

Great show last week.

It's always nice to bump into SY boardies. You know who you are.

loubarret 09.19.2009 04:49 AM

I mean maybe my favorite concert moment this year was seasick wen Jow jumped into the crowd and started screaming 'I can't swim'.

Epic.
