The Jesus Lizard returns with ‘Rack’ (Episode 986)
Manage episode 437679904 series 3562853
The Jesus Lizard is back! The band is set to release “Rack” on September 13, their first new album of new music since “Blue” (1998).
TJL guitarist Duane Denison joins me for a conversation about the new album, the early Chicago days, and whether “Rack” and a lengthy tour are signs of what’s to come for the band.
In Chicago? Don’t miss the Jesus Lizard’s return: they’ll be playing the Warm Love Cool Dreams festival at Salt Shed on September 28.
While I’m on the topic of the Jesus Lizard’s live show, I’ve always loved this quote from John Haggerty (Pegboy/Naked Raygun) about an especially memorable night:
“They’re playing; they get through about two or three songs, and a full bottle of beer comes shooting from the back of the audience, hits Dave Yow square in the head. He goes down like a ton of bricks. He’s out cold, like a light. The band keeps playing for a little while, then they realize he’s not going to get up. So they stop playing. There’s a bunch of sauntering about—what are we going to do? What’s happening? It went on for what seemed like a really long time, but I’m sure it was only two or three minutes. After this extended period of time, being passed out cold on the floor, he gets up and he says, ‘Nice shot, asshole.’ Before the word ‘asshole’ was even out of his mouth, they were into the next song and they just continued as if nothing had happened.”
