And make sure to check out their new album, RACK at https://tjl.lnk.to/Rack To supplement the recent release of Rack, the Jesus Lizard’s first full-length album in 26 years, the band has released "Westside", a non-album digital exclusive single. This follows "Cost of Living" that was released last year after the album. “’Westside’ goes along with the previous single, ‘Cost of Living,’” Duane Denison explains, “which was subconsciously influenced by Leonard Bernstein’s ‘West Side Story’ and hence the name. Really.” David Yow adds: “There is a part in ‘Westside’ where the lyrics say, ‘… give him back his arm.’ That was inspired by David Lynch’s ‘Lost Highway,’ when Robert Blake’s character says, ‘Give me back my phone.’” The release of Rack (https://tjl.lnk.to/rack) marks a new chapter for the Jesus Lizard, whose influence on music remains undeniable. With its relentless energy and razor-sharp musicianship, the 11-track album has garnered widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike. The collection has earned four star reviews from MOJO, Record Collector and The Observer as well as praise from The Associated Press (‘the Jesus Lizard’s intensity never went away”), The New York Times (“… a raucous record that recaptures the lunging momentum, stealth nuance and unhinged Yow-isms of their best work”) and Brooklyn Vegan (“…as delightfully gnarly as they have ever been, and just as lively as all of the younger bands that have come in their wake”). the Jesus Lizard tour dates: 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 6 Barcelona, ES Primavera Festival June 12 Porto, PT Primavera Festival Tickets for all shows are on-sale now, with ticketing links available via Ipecac.com/tours.   Since their inception in Austin 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 tomorrow via Ipecac Recordings. https://www.instagram.com/thejesuslizardofficial https://linktr.ee/thejesuslizard
