"Falling Down", from the new album, RACK. Get your copy at https://tjl.lnk.to/rack Video created by Bill Barminski (http://www.barminski.com) “I met Bill in Austin back in the mid ‘80s. He was doing underground comics and zine-type stuff,” Duane Denison notes of his friendship with the innovative artist known for his distinctive cardboard sculptures and thought-provoking street art. “We met through mutual friends in the punk rock scene and recently became reacquainted through social media.” Barminski adds: “We all come from the same place and there seems to be a bond between people who were there. So when Duane asked me to do this video I naturally said yes. It’s all hand drawn cell animation that I have been experimenting with. Very kinetic and fast-paced, which matched the song very well.” The release of Rack marks a new chapter for The Jesus Lizard, whose influence on alternative and punk music remains undeniable. With its relentless energy and razor-sharp musicianship, the album has already garnered widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike. In the lead-up to the 11-song, Paul Allen-produced collection’s debut, a series of pre-release songs have showcased the dynamic new album. “Hide & Seek” debuted in tandem with a lengthy New York Times piece diving into the band members’ deep-rooted friendship and their decision to return with Rack. “Alexis Feels Sick,” inspired by Girls Against Boys/Soulside’s Alexis Fleisig’s guarded opinion of modern life, arrived with a David Yow-conceived, A.I. generated video, described as “a disgusting and comically impressionistic portrait of American Late Stage Capitalism… with some doggies.” “Moto(R)” featured recent life footage of the foursome, with Denison saying of the song, “It’s not Motörhead, and it’s not Radiohead either.” the Jesus Lizard tour dates: December 5 Louisville, KY Old Forester’s Paristown Hall December 6 Columbus, OH Newport Music Hall December 7 Detroit, MI Saint Andrew’s Hall December 8 Cleveland, OH Agora Theatre December 9 Pittsburgh, PA Stage AE December 11 Brooklyn, NY Brooklyn Steel December 12 Boston, MA Roadrunner December 13 Philadelphia, PA Union Transfer December 14 Washington, DC Black Cat SOLD OUT December 15 Washington, DC Black Cat December 17 Asheville, NC The Orange Peel December 18 Atlanta, GA Variety Playhouse December 19 Birmingham, AL Saturn January 7 Glasgow, UK QMU January 8 Manchester, UK Academy 2 January 9 Leeds, UK Brudenell Social Club SOLD OUT January 10 Bristol, UK The Fleece SOLD OUT January 11 London, UK Electric Ballroom SOLD OUT January 12 Brighton, UK Concorde 2 SOLD OUT January 14 Belfast, UK The Limelight January 15 Dublin, IE Button Factory SOLD OUT January 16 Dublin, IE Button Factory May 2 Solana Beach, CA Belly Up Tavern May 3 Los Angeles, CA The Fonda Theatre May 5 San Francisco, CA The Fillmore May 8 Portland, OR Revolution Hall SOLD OUT May 9 Portland, OR Revolution Hall May 10 Seattle, WA Neptune Theatre SOLD OUT May 11 Seattle, WA Neptune Theatre May 17 Paris, FR Elysée Montmartre May 18 Brussels, BE Les Nuits Botaniques May 20 Amsterdam, NL Melkweg May 22 Copenhagen, DK Den Grå Hal May 23 Oslo, NO John Dee May 24 Stockholm, SE Debaser May 27 Berlin, DE SO36 May 28 Köln, DE Gebäude 9 May 30 Lausanne, CH Les Docks May 31 Bologna, IT Link June 1 Rome, IT Monk June 2 Milan, IT Magnolia June 5 – 7 Barcelona, ES Primavera Festival June 12 – 15 Porto, PT Primavera Festival Tickets for all shows are on-sale now, with ticketing links available via Ipecac.com/tours.

Swan The Dog Since their inception in Chicago in 1987, the Jesus Lizard has thrilled audiences all over the planet. The impeccable rocket-thrust rhythm section of bassist David Wm. Sims and drummer Mac McNeilly was the perfect launchpad for guitarist Duane Denison’s jagged yet clean-toned riffing and vocalist David Yow’s mercurial vocalizations manifesting as everything from panicked citizen, reality escapee or wounded sea mammal. The Jesus Lizard’s fury has carried on through six studio albums, two live recordings and a brace of singles and EPs, with the band’s seventh album, Rack, out this Fall via Ipecac Recordings. https://www.instagram.com/thejesuslizardofficial https://linktr.ee/thejesuslizard
