Austin Lounge Lizards
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
The Austin Lounge Lizards have long been known for their Texas-sized twisted tales and humorous songs, charming their fans around the globe for more than twenty-five years. Singing in five-part harmonies with instrumentals that spoof the conventions of bluegrass, country, rock and pop music, its no surprise that band members count among their influences Frank Zappa, George Jones, Spike Jones, Flatt & Scruggs, Tom Lehrer, and Steve Goodman. The core band members, Hank Card and Conrad Deisler, met as history majors at Princeton in 1976. Both wound up at the University of Texas law school, where they hooked up with banjo and steel guitar player Tom Pittman, who had the right academic credentials (a degree in philosophy from the University of Georgia). While holding down day jobs as varied as bailiff, construction foreman and administrative law judge, the Lizards fine-tuned their talent for writing bizarro social and politically themed songs, overflowing with tongue-in-cheek twang.
Note: Doors open a 1/2 hour before showtime. Please do not arrive any earlier. We need private time for set-up and soundcheck.
