One of the most exciting ways we celebrated our 25th Anniversary was by welcoming the Jesus Lizard to the Ipecac roster with their first album in decades, and it was worth the wait! @thejesuslizard.bsky.social

The Jesus Lizard - “Mouth Breather” (for Steve Albini) / Variety Playhouse, Atlanta, GA, 12/18/2025 YouTube video by ohk4

Seeing The Jesus Lizard last night was a 90 minute assault on my senses. In a good way.

the Jesus Lizard "Moto(R)" "Moto(R)", the third single from the upcoming album, RACK. Pre-order the September 13th release at https://tjl.lnk.to/rack Director/Cinematographer - Jon Tucker Thanks to Chris Kraft and Peter Tomlinson Check out the other videos for "Alexis Feels Sick" (https://youtu.be/dCcH0BV5sjo) and "Hide & Seek" (https://youtu.be/_Zx-vUlFXEk) Duane Denison says of the track, that features recent live footage of the foursome: “It’s not Motörhead, and it’s not Radiohead either…” The New York Times described the new album as “a raucous record that recaptures the lunging momentum, stealth nuance and unhinged Yow-isms of their best work,” Consequence dubbed it “a rapturous return for the band,” and Brooklyn Vegan said the band is “as delightfully gnarly as they have ever been.” the Jesus Lizard reconvened in 2009 for a limited number of shows and have maintained their bond both as friends in close contact with one another, and touring bandmates. “We literally only made the record because we thought it would be fun to make the record,” says Sims. With McNeilly highlighting the strong relationship amongst the musicians: “We are bonded by the music we make, and also by the respect we have for each other.” The band also recently announced a number of tour dates, stretching into 2025 September 7 Raleigh, NC Hopscotch Music Festival September 26 Cincinnati, OH Bogart’s September 28 Chicago, IL Warm Love Cool Dreams October 13 Las Vegas, NV Best Friends Forever Music Festival October 31 Dallas, TX Longhorn Ballroom November 1 Austin, TX Levitation / The Far Out Lounge 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 18 Atlanta, GA Variety Playhouse 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 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 May 10 Seattle, WA Neptune Theatre - SOLD OUT May 11 Seattle, WA Neptune Theatre 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

the Jesus Lizard "Alexis Feels Sick" "Alexis Feels Sick", the second single from the upcoming album, RACK. Pre-order the September 13th release at https://tjl.lnk.to/rack Video created by David Yow Inspired by Girls Against Boys/Soulside drummer Alexis Fleisig’s guarded opinion of modern life, the four-and-a-half-minute track is met with an esoteric, David Yow created video. Yow shares insight into the concept behind the clip: "The ‘Alexis Feels Sick’ video is a disgusting and comically impressionistic portrait of American Late Stage Capitalism… with some doggies.” Duane Denison adds that it’s a “study in greed, gluttony, and… dogs.” “Hide & Seek” (https://youtu.be/_Zx-vUlFXEk), the first taste from the 11-song album, was described by Yow as “a perky ditty about a witch who can’t behave, and it’s got nearly as many hooks as a Mike Tyson fight.” The video captures the band - Mac McNeilly, David Wm. Sims, Denison and Yow – recording Rack with Producer Paul Allen at Nashville’s Audio Eagle Studio. the Jesus Lizard reconvened in 2009 for a limited number of shows and have maintained their bond both as friends in close contact with one another, and touring bandmates. “We literally only made the record because we thought it would be fun to make the record,” says Sims.

Detroit, September 14, 2018

i remember talking to a friend about The Jesus Lizard once, and i asked him what the lyrics were about. he was like "i don't know and i don't want to know. i think it's better to not know. it seems pretty sinister."
