The Jesus Lizard: Live (2007): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2007, The Jesus Lizard: Live is a musik film directed by Chuck Prefontaine, running about 65 minutes. “One of the best live indie bands of the '90s performing at the Venus De Milo in Boston circa '94” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. While the studio recordings of Chicago's Jesus Lizard are part of the canon of 90s indie rock, anyone who saw them knows their reputation as the live band of that era is completely accurate. This film captures the original quartet in 1994 playing to a packed and frenzied crowd at the Venus de Milo in Boston. The band's workman like approach to their taunt, pummeling sound is contrasted by front man David Yow's Dionysian revelry as he whips himself and the crowd into an ecstatic mess. This 2-camera shoot catches all the blood, spit and sweat of a truly killer live band at their peak.

Who’s in it. The Jesus Lizard: Live stars Duane Denison as Himself, Mac McNeilly as Himself, David WM. Sims as Himself and David Yow as Himself.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, The Jesus Lizard: Live has proved divisive with audiences.
