It's pretty weird that there are no bands like the Jesus Lizard around anymore.
Young musicians seem hesitant to frighten and discomfort.
The Jesus Lizard wanted to chisel bone and blister tissue. Even in Chicago, the birthplace of this rusty genre, the sound seems to have died out with Lustre King. Yet loud, obnoxious music rules the charts these days. The Jesus Lizard never slapped their bass. They never wore warm-ups.
