About this concert
C’est historique, la légende the Jesus Lizard fera son grand retour sur scène en France, le 17 mai 2025 à l’Élysée Montmartre ! Le groupe préféré de votre groupe préféré présentera sur scène Rack , son premier album en 26 ans, paru le 13 septembre via Ipecac Recordings. Vous êtes prévenus, et pour rien au monde vous ne voudrez manquer ça. Depuis leur formation à Chicago en 1987, the Jesus Lizard a enflammé les foules du monde entier. La section rythmique impeccable et surpuissante de Sims et McNeilly était la rampe de lancement parfaite pour les riffs acérés mais précis de Denison et les vocalisations imprévisibles de Yow, oscillant entre un citoyen paniqué, un évadé de la réalité ou un mammifère marin blessé. La fureur de the Jesus Lizard s'est manifestée à travers six albums studio, deux enregistrements live et une série de singles et EPs.Avec Rack , the Jesus Lizard revient régénéré, rafraîchi et en pleine forme. Pas de morceaux fades ou tièdes pour montrer à quel point ils ont mûri en tant que compositeurs. Pas de détours ineptes dans des exercices de genre inutiles. Et certainement pas de virages étranges vers des domaines expérimentaux qui paraissent tout aussi artificiels et calculés que le sommet des classements Billboard.

The band was tight - what a rhythm section. And David Yow has been mining the freewheeling / see if you can guess what I'm thinking right now vibe since he started performing, and it's no less engaging now than it ever was. Outstanding band effort. Way worth the evening.

The Jesus Lizard Biography
In the jade-cultivating climes of online rock journalism, the angle of “band has new album,” is about as interesting as watching Instagram reels of your brother-in-law’s recent bathroom remodel. But when a band decides to follow up their last album from over 26 years ago? That’s high on testicular fortitude and as dumb as fidget spinners. Yet, when that band is the Jesus Lizard, everything in your pathetic cultural dystopia suddenly falls away and the air smells like Heaven… Their seventh studio album, Rack, produced by Paul Allen, features 11 tracks of brisk guitar rock you haven’t heard since… the last time the Jesus Lizard took over a stage in your town. the Jesus Lizard — vocalist David Yow, guitarist Duane Denison, bassist David Wm. Sims, and drummer Mac McNeilly — have returned with a record teeming with the kind of madness needed to beat down today’s AOR mediocrity and piss-perfect pop drivel alike.
Since their inception in Chicago in 1987, the Jesus Lizard has thrilled audiences all over the planet. The impeccable rocket-thrust rhythm section of Sims and McNeilly was the perfect launchpad for Denison’s jagged yet clean-toned riffing and Yow’s mercurial vocalizations manifesting as everything from panicked citizen, reality escapee or wounded sea mammal. the Jesus Lizard’s fury carried on through six studio albums, two live recordings and a brace of singles and EPs.
On Rack, the Jesus Lizard have returned reconstituted, refreshed and positively revving. No tepid, bland tracks to show how they’ve “matured” as songwriters. No inane detours into unnecessary genre exercises. And definitely no weird moves into experimental realms that come off just as contrived and calculated as the top of the charts.
the Jesus Lizard. They might not be young, but they will never, ever get fucking old.
