About The Emerald Lizards

Combining 60's inspired garage rock, surf twang, bluesy swagger, and manic punk energy, Chicago's own Emerald Lizards have arrived to re-inject the Roll into Rock!

The Emerald Lizards will not compromise for your agenda. The Emerald Lizards do not care if it is a bank holiday. The Emerald Lizards do not gaze at their shoes. The Emerald Lizards do not cry in their pants. The Emerald Lizards do not wear spats. The Emerald Lizards will not mope for fashion. The Emerald Lizards do not have matching haircuts. The Emerald Lizards are not emo, screamo, dreamo, gleamo or extremo. The Emerald Lizards have corkscrew brains. The Emerald Lizards are independent. The Emerald Lizards are from Chicago. The Emerald Lizards are eating potato salad right now. The Emerald Lizards have paid your Mom for some sexual healing. The Emerald Lizards have garage, punk, and hard rock roots. The Emerald Lizards roam the midwest with their giant blue ox in tow. The Emerald Lizards make you wanna shout. The Emerald Lizards frolic with Bonobos every chance they get. The Emerald Lizards worship Tom Selleck and Sam the Sham. The Emerald Lizards are louder than a twin engine Cessna in a subway tunnel. The Emerald Lizards are gonna' shake it on down.

Look for them tearing the roof off of a venue near you!
