I saw Scratch Acid when they reunited at the Touch and Go 25th anniversary festival in Chicago, September 2006. Shit was sooooo tight. In 2007, I saw David Yow sing for Qui. Shit was prettttt-y tight. But i have NEVER seen the Jesus Lizard. Everyone i know who has seen these dudes before speaks very highly of their live shows. Mr. Yow's vocal stylings and stage theatrics were very entertaining both times i had the pleasure of seeing him in the flesh. Add to that Duane Denison's unique guitar "riffs", David William Sims' gain-heavy bass lines combined with Mac's tough drumming, and you got yourself something incomparable to any other rock band around these days. Oh wait, maybe TOOL. (jk, totally jk).
Anyways, fucking Flipper CANCELED according to this site so it looks like i'll only be seeing 2 legendary acts at FFF instead of 3 this weekend. bummer.
Oh well, there will be plenty of other contemporary and current acts i'll be able to see. Just like with anything, though-they just don't make 'em like they used to....
