Hello good people
This is a very special episode of Peeling The Onion given the fact that our guest is non other than Mr David Yow.
There are few that have taken the art of singing and performing (as well as writing music and lyrics) to as glorious heights as David Yow has. He came up in the Austin Texas punk scene of the late 70's/early 80's, first fronting the band Scratch Acid (1982–1987) and then forming The Jesus Lizard in 1987 with bassist David Wm. Sims and guitarist Duane Denison after moving to Chicago.
They were joined by drummer Mac McNeilly in 1989 thus completing the classic lineup that released masterpieces like Head, Goat and Liar.
The Jesus Lizard toured heavily throughout the 90's and released groundbreaking music before going on hiatus in 1999. The band has reformed sporadicly throughout the years to play shows and finally after 26 years they are releasing a album of new material.
Rack contains 11 songs of classic Jesus Lizard music. It's genuinely awesome to hear the band is in top form, firing on all cylinders.
David moved to Los Angeles shortly after the Jesus Lizard called it quits in 1999 and has been doing photo retouching for a living. He release a solo album, Tonight You Look Like A Spider in 2013 and has performed with bands like The Melvins, Dumb Numbers, Qui as well as stint as the singer for the band Flipper.
David has been acting since the mid 90's and has starred in numerous movies and shorts. His most recent film, A Desert , contains David's biggest role to date and has been getting grand reviews.
It was an honor to have a chance to sit down with David and pick his brain about his life and career. I do hope you'll enjoy the conversation.
All the best
Elvar
