The Beadles LIVE @ Lizard's (Fri., Sept. 9)

This Friday, Sept. 9, The Beadles, a Beatles cover band from Houston, will play at Lizard's starting at 10pm. We caught them last time they played Huntsville, and they were a lot of fun. If you don't remember hearing about their last show here, it may be because they played under the name "The Sweetsops" last time. No matter which name they stick with, they'll still provide a few hours of great covers of The Beatles and other 60s bands.

This show is FREE. In fact, there is live music for free every Friday at Lizard's.

To check out The Beadles, click here - or see their Sweetsops page here.

Aftermath: Dan Perez @ Lizard's

This past Friday, we checked out comedy hypnotist Dan Perez, who put on a show at Lizard's. Well, first, we checked out Emmie's Eatery, which was parked outside of Lizard's. They have a variety of awesome foods, and with any luck, we'll catch them outside of Lizard's more often.

Dan chose members from the audience to hypnotize. The participants received suggestions and acted out different scenarios. He kept the audience's attention and everyone seemed to have a good time and a lot of laughs.

If you missed the show, no worries! Dan Perez intends to come back to Huntsville in the future. Keep up with us on Facebook for event info for Huntsville and the surrounding areas.

REMINDER: Dan Perez (Comedy Hypnotist) TONIGHT at Lizards!

This evening, Dan Perez will be coming to Huntsville! He will be performing his comedy hypnotism routine at Lizard's (1231 Josey). If you have never been to a show like this, it is something worth checking out. Basically, Dan will choose members from the audience to hypnotize. You get to sit there and laugh at your friends while they do silly things.

Tickets are on sale at Lizard's NOW for $8 each - or $6 with a student ID. You can also purchase tickets online here: http://www.danperez.net/tickets-lizards.htm

Stick around after Dan Perez, because there will ALSO  be live music by Queen Anne's Revenge! 

Aftermath: Arthur Yoria at Lizard's (08/19/11)

Bilingual singer-songwriter, Arthur Yoria, performed at Lizard’s last Friday!

You may have heard his music on TV shows like The OC, Felicity, or Laguna Beach, or in major films such as National Lampoon’s Adam and Eve or Breaking Dawn. His songs have also been heard in several commercials. He has performed all over the country, various places in Europe, and even in his parent’s home country, Columbia.   

His music and lyrics are both catchy and clever. I could quote almost all of his songs to prove this point… but I won’t be doing that. =)

I did, however, especially enjoy the lyrics to the song “I Pretend” from his 2003 album, I’ll Be Here Awake. This song begins as follows:

I begin As you come in
It seems as though there's
Something wrong again
In the room
And on the bed
Somehow it tasted sweeter in my head

I can't explain myself tonight
But if you've seen my type around
To waste your time with them
Don't cry,
I'll pretend.

There was something about the cynicism and honesty in these lyrics that I really liked. Arthur Yoria has a lot of songs, and as I listened to them I continued to be stimulated by the lyrics in various ways. He began releasing EP’s and albums starting in 2001, and so far, there is a combination of nine in all. 

With as much exposure and talent that Arthur Yoria has, it was a shock to find out that he had agreed to play at Lizard's!

I am glad he did, though, because his live performance was amazing! His voice sounds just as rich and affective live as it does on a recording, and his one-man show is a very unique performance. 

(This crappy pic does not do Arthur Yoria justice... he was making all the ladies—and George—swoon with his music and good looks)

Arthur Yoria was nice enough to bring with him a box full of CDs that he gave away to the guests for free. I have listened to it several times since Friday night, and I am still not tired of it. I will be purchasing more of his music in the VERY near future. My favorite song of the night was “He Said, She said, We Said”.

You can listened to his music and see some of his music videos by clicking HERE.

Arthur Yoria brought along a surprise guest with him to Huntsville—one of his best friend’s, Kendall Klay. Kendall Klay also performed. Kendall Klay was louder and rougher around the edges in personality compared Yoria, but their different temperaments complimented each other quite nicely. He was confident on stage, and his rendition of The Talking Head’s "Psycho Killer Attack " was a crowd favorite. If you missed Kendall Klay’s guest appearance, you can check out his music by clicking HERE.    

(My new favorite "psycho killer," Kendall Klay)

I enjoyed both of their performances as well as hanging out with them after the show. Kendall is hilarious and Arthur Yoria is very humble and polite—even with his success. I hope they come back to Huntsville in the near future and perform to an even bigger crowd!

Visit our Facebook PAGE to see more pictures from last Friday's show that does neither of these two guys justice.

Also, thank you, Arthur Yoria, for singing the lovely Michelle Mullan a very "Happy Birthday," despite that being your least favorite song.

The Last Open Mic of Lizard's: Tuesday, May 10

For the past 7 years, Lizard's has held open mic night on Tuesdays. Singer/songwriters, bands, and even poets have graced the stage over the years. Sadly, this week will be the last open mic. We have no word on whether there will be a new host in the future or whether this is in fact the very last. All we know is that our cowboy friend Jarrod Sterrett will be taking his leave as host after this Tuesday's session.

                                                  Jarrod Sterrett, host of open mic

So this Tuesday night, be sure to stop by Lizard's. Bring your instruments and vocal chords and reminisce with old friends and performers. Let's help this thing go out with a bang, friends. Seeya there!

Random Tuesday Night in Huntsville, TX!

Last night, we made our way to The Draft Bar (as promised) to check out the live music from Jake Muennink. While there, we listened to him and his guitar as we played some Buzztime trivia. He sang and strummed out familiar country songs—don’t ask me to name any of them, though—with a pleasant country twang. We still don’t know much about Jake Muennink… except now we know that he IS in fact worth checking out. For free or otherwise!

 In case you weren’t aware, The Draft Bar has free Buzztime Trivia every Tuesday! If you are a fan of useless facts (I know I am), then test your knowledge with some free Buzztime Trivia! Just ask your waitress for a play thingy! That is the official name for THIS:

Jake Muennink was a busy boy last night. After his two hour set at The Draft Bar, he performed again at Lizard’s Open Mic night. We promise we didn’t purposely stalk him! Lizard’s is just our usual Tuesday spot, and it should be yours too! Jarrod Sterret’s Open Mic Night at Lizard’s needs more regular attendees!
