The Jesus Lizard Book Description
"If you're a Jesus Lizard fan or a David Yow devotee, you're sure all over this. But even if you've never heard of the band, the book stands as one of the best ways to experience being in a tight, cohesive band. You get everything except the sweat, spilled beer, and blood. It's a fun ride, and the closest thing possible to getting in the van with these guys."
--Mother Jones
"Book is a valuable document that brings us back to the era when artists were conditioned to practice the art of self-defense."
--Pitchfork
"Crawling out of the same noisy, punk and hardcore indie underground of the early 1980s, Dinosaur Jr. and the Jesus Lizard took somewhat similar paths on the road to becoming two of the most influential bands of their generation...Now the two bands have something else in common: books. Two beautiful volumes, The Jesus Lizard Book (Akashic) and Rocket 88‘s Dinosaur Jr. scrapbook...Both are loving tributes to two very unique bands."
--Flavorwire
"Book is pretty much the sort of thing you would want from any band you adore: thoughtful, articulate comments from all of the players, short essays, some only a few lines, from various folks who knew or worked with them and a ton of excellent photos."
--Austin American-Statesman
"The Jesus Lizard Book by The Jesus Lizard (out now). Much like Dinosaur Jr., the band has created a detailed, full-color hardcover for its fans. And as a bonus, members are reuniting to promote it at South by Southwest and elsewhere."
--Pensacola News Journal
"The only way to truly do this band justice in book form is with exactly the kind of energetic and engaging visual weight that Book provides."
--KGB Bar Lit Magazine
"There is finally a book that captures the godhead megalithic monstrosity that was the Jesus Lizard. ... know this is going to be one of my favourite books of all-time."
--The HuffPost Music (Canada)
"The deluxe coffee-table book about The Jesus Lizard that we can't believe exists."
--Oregon Public Broadcasting/NPR
"The big, beautiful Jesus Lizard Book…delivers a fun, albeit wild ride fans are sure to enjoy thoroughly."
--BookPeople Blog
"Book suits the Jesus Lizard as well as, say, The Dirt suits Mötley Crüe….Everyone I know loves the Jesus Lizard, and all those same folks are going to love Book."
--Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches
"Stunning new work of popular culture historiography…The Jesus Lizard Book is a work of art, and it should be treated as such."
--Alibi.com
Included in "A Book I'd Read" for Washington City Paper/Arts Desk
The Jesus Lizard Book is a coffee table affair of exclusive photography, art, and other imagery with written pieces by all four members of the seminal indie rock band the Jesus Lizard. The layout is stylish and elegant, particularly in contrast with the harshness of much of the band's music. Other contributors include Steve Albini, Mike Watt, Krist Novoselic, and more.
