David Yow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was notorious for playing shows completely drunk and incoherent. It was not uncommon for Yow to remove his clothing during Jesus Lizard concerts, ending up completely naked by the second or third song. Considered a very charismatic man during live performances, Yow had the rare ability to transport audience members into a state of hysteria.

Yow and Scratch Acid recently performed a series of reunion shows in Austin (09/02/06), Chicago (09/09/06), and Seattle (09/16/06).
The Jesus Lizard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their music was a scathing mix of piercing guitar, machine-like drums, propulsive bass guitar, and psychotic vocals, often reminiscent of
The Birthday Party. Denison's stinging guitar often served more as texture or coloring than as a melody instrument, while the
rhythm section's stops and starts were simultaneously precise and brutal. David Yow's frenzied, often incoherent vocals were quite unique, unlike anything past or present. David Sprague suggests that "Yow's disjointed
couplets" are reminiscent of a "
preacher speaking in tongues."[2]
