Found this on YouTube way past my bedtime.

The band is tight as ever, but it takes David Yow a couple songs to get going.

"... And I am Neil Diamond ..."

@ 44:00 he is doing situps on stage in the middle of a song, lmao

This is one of the best small club acts I have ever seen, I think around 1997.

I danced on a table for at least 30 minutes during the show. Maybe longer. I might have been under the influence of something pharmaceutic.
 


This is great. I love bands like this. Mr Bungle comes to mind.

Jesus Lizard is fucking awful. I saw them with Rage in the 90's. The crowd was so pissed at how bad they were the front gates broke from people rushing the stage. They left early needless to say.

Did David Yow show everyone his penis? It's not usually a good show unless he gets naked on stage.

That damned fly I told you about
is keeping me up again
I'm tired as shit
Everyday at my job
Because his buzzing keeps me from dreaming.

And I can never get any rest

I can never get any rest
I can never get any rest

Sure I'll have another drink with you

Though I'm already drunk as a bottle

It's that fly that's making me drink
So I'll pass out
And sleep through his screaming

And I can never get any rest

I can never get any rest
I will never get any rest

Back in that room

That's not mine anymore
It's possessed by the drone of a monster
Goddamned fly I told you about
The moon shines on his wings
And they're gleaming

And I can never get any rest

I can never get any rest
I can never get any rest
 
Absolutely love them.

You need to check last Brand New effort - 'Daisy' (2009). I think they were heavily influenced by JL. And Nirvana.
