JESUS LIZARD - LIVE
While studio recordings of Chicago's The Jesus Lizard are part of the canon of 90s indie rock, anyone who saw them knows their reputation as thee live band of that era is completely accurate. This DVD captures the original quartet in 1994 playing to a packed and frenzied crowd at the Venus De Milo in Boston. The bands workman like approach to their taunt, pummeling sound is contrasted by frontman David Yows' Dionysian revelry as he whips himself and the crowd into an ecstatic mess. This 2 camera shoot catches all the blood, spit and sweat of a truly killer live band at their peak. Bonus materials include 5 songs from CBGB's 08/29/92.
