SPILL NEWS: THE JESUS LIZARD RELEASE STANDALONE DIGITAL SINGLE “WESTSIDE” | TOUR DATES

THE JESUS LIZARD RELEASE STANDALONE DIGITAL SINGLE “WESTSIDE”

WESTERN U.S. TOUR BEGINS MAY 2

The Jesus Lizard kicks off the next round of their U.S. tour this May, with the seminal band visiting the West Coast on the latest leg of their Rack tour. Ahead of the trek, the foursome has released a new standalone single, “Westside” , their second post-Rack track.

“’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.’”
