PATRICK KLEIN

Hi folks – Patrick Klein, the Lizards' guitar player here.

First, let me welcome you to our new site! It is the creative genius of the legendary Batttttty - the supreme vai-countess of rock and roll!

If you’ve wondered why it’s been so quiet here lately it’s because we have been cooking up some goodies such as this new site, and we have also finally completed the new album! Mastering is underway and cover art is nearly complete. Look for it soon. This record contains many of the new songs we have been playing live over the past year that a lot of you were asking about at the shows. And a special guest to boot!

Also underway is our live dvd compilation. Taken from three killer performances, it should give ample evidence that The Lizards "walk it like we talk it". With little or no tampering with the true performances, we're gonna let it all hang out for you. Filmed in New York, Germany, and at Sweden Rock Festival, this dvd will be packed with extra goodies, and more cameras then we've ever used. (Nine high-definition cameras in Germany!)

We have some shows lined up here in the USA in May. We will be the support act for guitar legend Uli Jon Roth. See the tour page for details. For our European fans we are working on our very first headlining tour! If all goes well we hope to be there in the fall. Even I don’t know the details yet but I’m told it’s moving forward. Hope we see you all then!

Of a slightly lower priority, our "covers" cd project is also steadily moving forward. We're creating a love letter to our childhood heroes, especially the more obscure ones. So far we've recorded songs by Stray Dog, Boomerang, Detective and Free. We'll also have some Blues and Funk on there  - including a killer version of John Lee Hooker's "I'm Mad"!

Our new live set will be mixed with some old favorites that we have revived as well as some of the new songs from the upcoming studio album. We are always writing so it’s possible we will add some completely new stuff as well.

Thanks for stopping by - and let us know if there's anything you'd like to see on the website. We have high hopes that this version will be dynamic and user-friendly! All the best!

The Lizards!

RANDY PRATT

Hi folks - Randy Pratt, the Lizards' bass player here. Well after a couple of false starts, mixing on cd #4 is going full steam ahead. This cd is shaping up as our most diverse by far. The 100 gigs we played last year seasoned our groove with new singer Mike Dimeo beautifully. It's hard to remember us with anybody else. There will be lots of the classic hard'n'heavy riff-rock you've come to expect from us, with quite a few surprises. Let's just say that we're feeling confident enough to expand our horizons and we hope you enjoy the results.

Also underway is our live dvd compilation. Taken from three killer performances, it should give ample evidence that the Lizards "walk it like we talk it". With little or no tampering with the true performances, we're gonna let it all hang out for you. Filmed in New York, Germany, and at Sweden Rock Festival, this dvd will be packed with extra goodies, and more cameras then we've ever used. (9 high-definition cameras in Germany!)

Last year we toured Europe five times! The Glenn Hughes tour alone had us there for 2 months! Our pets barely recognized us when we got back! As wonderful an experience as that was, we realised that we've been neglecting our American fans for too long. That's why we've decided to concentrate on supplying our "New Classic Rock" therapy to our friends in the USA for the forseeable future. On our King's X tour recently, we made friends with Jhacc's in Alexandria Va., The Stone Pony in Asbury Park N.J., The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, N.Y., and Double Ds in Morristown N.J. You can expect to see us at these fine establishments regularly, as you will at our favorite NYC joint, BBKings, - first up with Ten Years After on March 15th.

Of a slightly lower priority, our "covers" cd project is also steadily moving forward. We're creating a love letter to our childhood heroes, especially the more obscure ones. So far we've recorded songs by Stray Dog, Boomerang, Detective and Free. We'll also have some Blues and Funk on there (did a killer version of John Lee Hooker's "I'm Mad")

We're really going through a creative writing period now, so don't be surprised to hear lots of new songs when you see us perform in the future!
