""I had not seen the Jesus Lizard since Lollapalooza 1995 - the last year I choose to think of as being remotely true to what that festival was about. As hard as it is to believe that was 14 years ago, it is even harder to understand how frontman David Yow & Co. have managed to bring back this band - essentially dormant since 1999 - with this much ferocity. Yow may be 14 years older and a bit...

... my university's school paper) was with their endlessly amusing and musically brilliant vocalist, David Yow (remember when I went on tour with Human Highway and the Magic in March and I ran into Yow on the streets of Austin during SXSW and interviewed him? Any one?). So myself, and many, many others, were very excited to hear that the band were reuniting with their original line-up in tact...
... NY for All Tomorrow's Parties second annual New York festival . In case we had forgotten, David Yow made sure to wish the audience a happy 9/11 repeatedly, throughout the set. And the reunited 4-piece launched into a blistering set of sharp-edged classics like "Mouth Breather", "Seasick", "Puss", even their TV As Eyes/Abstract Nympho Chrome cover (originally released on a Touch & Go 7'')....
... Micka) – took the stage and played a set consisting of industrial/ambient material. Later on, David Yow renamed his project into Animal Planet and commented that he thoroughly enjoyed his set. Not bad for an opening act. Around 10:30, Jesus Lizard finally started their set and to say that there were good is to say nothing. Yow was a man possessed as he spit, danced and even did a bit of...

... memory, I still recall every detail of that show (and yes, unfortunately that includes David Yow's wang).That was the first of many times I'd see the Jesus Lizard (and said wang) over the ensuing years, and they never failed to blow my mind. And now they're back. And from all reports, still bringing it (no, not the wang). I'm going to be at the Paradise here in Boston this Saturday with...
... Temple Pilots playing in Kiss makeup . The greatest example I have heard of is Shellac, joined by David Yow, coming onstage as the Sex Pistols and playing a set of Pistols songs. That transcends epic. Although not quite as good as an entire show, I quite like how far Pearl Jam went on Halloween night in Philadelphia this year.

David Yow is now, like Jesus, a worshipped man. And like lizards that run like men across bodies of water, he crawls like a lizard across crowds of people. A few blocks from the venue I was joined by one, two,...

Prior to the Jesus Lizard’s reunion, vocalist David Yow had noted in interviews that audiences should not expect to see him take his pants off anymore. “I’m forty-nine now, no one wants to see that.” But any fears that their astringent wine may have mellowed with age were put to rest as soon as the curtain rose, and Yow...
