Welcome To My Side....of things

I use to write a lot. I did 11 issues of fanzine (Last Rites), wrote the scene report for Max R'n'R and wrote an article for Rip Magazine. I truly miss writing, venting, raving about whatever is important at that moment. So the first thing i will review is The Jesus Lizard's awesome performance at Pitchfork Fest.

7/17/09 Union Park, Chicago

we walked into the backstage area to hear a large roar coming from one of the stages in the baseball field at Union Park. Then there was the unmistakable incoherent mumble of the great David Yow.....yes it was the Lizard and they were back in the town were it all started! I wouild have to say that 90% of "re-unions" are very disappointing and hurt the band's original legacy (somebody say Sex Pistols...thank god The Clash reunited for $$...they remain one of the true punk bands that walked the walk). 5% are fun an d alright and then there is the last 5%; The Lizards. The bands that left too early and still have a bit of relevance to offer in this retread world. They did all their hits and cult favs. They looked good and they looked pissed off and scary still. This was not a feel good comeback gig, this was a "wtf" here we are again and will will pound you into submission. It also had the fell of one of their legendary Lounga Ax gigs with Sue Miller, Juia Adams, Bernie T Fan and Elliot Dicks all stage side. Good times once again, The Lizard rida again. at least for the moment. They are doing some european fest and i hear there are 2 nights at metro in November. Then that's it???? Say it ain't so Yow. I know you guys have one more killer LP in you brains and stomachs......really!!!!
