  • The Jesus Lizard DVD - Music Video Distributors 2007
    The Jesus Lizard DVD - Music Video Distributors 2007 Call me "A Revolutionary Whose Path-Blazing Opinions Tear Down Established Dogma," but I never understood why people raved about The Jesus Lizard's live shows. Maybe it's because I'd already seen so many unhinged Cows concerts? Or because the Jesus Lizard already sounded so raw and live on LP, the in-person performances just seemed redundant? I mean, certainly David Yow threw himself full-force into his live performance, but the guitarist and bassist mostly just stood there and played their parts exactly like the record the whole time, and of what interest is that? Anyway, whatever the reason, I just found their shows too predictable to get all that excited about. In fact, by the fourth and final time I saw them, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion blew them off the stage -- and I don't even like The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Enter Music Video Distributors' 2007 DVD release of a 1994 Boston performance by Chicago's The Jesus Lizard, which answers the question of my disinterest once and for all: I WAS SPOILED. See, there were great shows all the time back then (and probably still are; I'm just not of age to enjoy it anymore). So I guess my expectations of being blown away all the time were raised too high. I was seriously going to like 3 or 4 shows every single week back then. Now that I'm living a domesticated, older person's life, all I can say upon viewing this DVD is "Christ! What a great fucking band they were!" This young, energetic group of intelligent, creative rock performers will never exist again -- wiry Duane Denison playing his creepy riffs, beefy David Wm.

The 1980s had witnessed a more or less subliminal process of deconstruction of rock music: angular melodies, irregular rhythms, strident counterpoint. The instruments and the line-up were consistent with the stereotype of rock'n'roll but the result was almost antithetical: brainy, un-hummable, depressing and mostly instrumental. During the 1990s this form of intellectual rock was recognized as a major vehicle for the message of a musician, the same way that a memorable melody had been the main vehicle for most musicians of the 1960s. The influence of Sonic Youth was perhaps the most visible. Mostly unknown during the 1980s, Sonic Youth came slowly to represent "the" quintessential alternative band. An even more "alternative" act, Pussy Galore, was a close second. No surprise, then, that a few of the new leaders emerged from those two bands. Bewitched (1) were formed by Pussy Galore's drummer Bob Bert, and recorded a boldly experimental work, Brain Eraser (? 1990 - jul 1990).
