the Jesus Lizard from Chicago, IL
In the annals of noise rock history, few (if any) giants loom larger than the Jesus Lizard. Infamous as much for their live shows as the ferocious pummeling of their music, the band is still as much a force of nature today as they were when it started nearly forty years ago.
