David Yow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Yow is an American musician born in Las Vegas Nevada August 2, 1960. He was a co-founder of the Austin, Texas rock group Scratch Acid. Yow originally played bass guitar, then switched to vocals before Scratch Acid relocated to Chicago, Illinois. When that group dissolved, Yow and Scratch Acid bass player David Wm. Sims formed The Jesus Lizard.
Yow achieved wide noteriety for playing shows completely drunk and incoherent and it was not uncommon for him to remove his clothing during Jesus Lizard concerts, often ending up completely naked by the second or third song and sometimes subjecting the audience to a manouver known as "The Hairy Tangerine". The Jesus Lizard eventually landed a spot on the Lollapalooza tour, with little commercial success.
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).
