Fri. January 27th, 2006 7:30 p.m
The Austin Lounge Lizards have delighted audiences
from Texas to California,from Canada to the U.K., with
their inventive style of satirical folk, country and bluegrass.
Based in Austin, Texas, since they formed in 1980,
the Lizards have honed their music into a knife-sharp art
form. With song titles like "Jesus Loves Me, But He Can't
Stand You," the trademarks of a Lizards song are highly
literate, sharply pointed lyrics that poke fun at politics, love,
religion and the culture in general. Enjoy the remarkable musical virtuosity of this groupand their original material as
they ricochet off of folk, bluegrass, and country and reel into tango, surf and grunge. Be prepared to laugh!
