Настоящее имя: The Jesus Lizard
Об исполнителе:
The saga of The Jesus Lizard begins in Texas. Vocalist David Yow and bassist David Sims. Yow & Sims were in Austin-based post-hardcore noise group Scratch Acid. Both moved to Chicago after Scratch Acid's demise where Sims played in [a55962] an abrasive indie rock group led by Steve Albini. Sims began playing with guitarist Duane Denison from [a614452] and the two recruited Yow to do some singing... thus The Jesus Lizard was born. Originally, the group performed with a drum machine, much like Albini's previous band, Big Black. Albini produced the group's debut EP, Pure, which was released on Touch & Go in 1989; the producer would work on every Jesus Lizard release on Touch & Go. The Jesus Lizard added a human drummer, Mac McNeilly, in late 1989 and he appeared on the band's first full-length album, 1990's Head. Years active: 1987–1999, 2008–2010, 2017–present
