The Jesus Lizard is an influential band that originated in Texas and later moved to Chicago. Formed by vocalist David Yow and bassist David Wm. Sims, both of whom were previously members of the Austin-based band Scratch Acid. After Scratch Acid disbanded, Yow and Sims joined forces with guitarist Duane Denison (Cargo Cult) to create The Jesus Lizard.

With their unique blend of punk, noise rock, and post-hardcore, The Jesus Lizard quickly gained a reputation for their intense live performances and raw energy. Their music is characterized by Yow's distinctive vocals, Sims' powerful basslines, Denison's intricate guitar work, and a relentless rhythm section.

Throughout their career, The Jesus Lizard released several critically acclaimed albums such as "Goat," "Liar," and "Down." They have influenced numerous bands with their aggressive sound and uncompromising attitude. Despite disbanding in 1999, The Jesus Lizard remains an important figure in alternative rock history.

the jesus lizard's touch and go era albums remastered for 2009 by steve albini and bob weston. the cds are packaged in a deluxe digipack with a 14"x20" double sided colour folder including never before seen photos and extensive liner notes by the band and by journalists who were there when it was all happening. the cd also includes four bonus tracks - 'white hole', 'glamorous', 'deaf as a bat' and 'panic in cicero'. 'down' was the last of the touch and go era jesus lizard albums - classic jesus lizard in many ways, captured when the band were playing at their absolute tightest, filled with odd, unpredictable turns and nuances. 'down' reveals one of the band's greatest strengths: their skill at inventive arrangements.
