WHO ARE LIZARDS FROM AFAR?
In days now long gone by–well the early 1990s–in the Heartland of America, four Illinois Wesleyan University and one Illinois State University undergraduates formed a garage band by the name of Lizards From Afar. Combining elements of classic, punk, and alternative rock with a sprinkling of comedy and music theater, the group performed shows in and around Bloomington, Illinois, between 1991 and 1993 with various personnel changes before finally breaking up. In that time, the group recorded some of their music in an extremely amateur fashion using the limited technology available at the time and according to their budget–which is to say, on four-track tape recorders with a few microphones.
That music is now available in mp3 format on this site–especially for our long lost fans who may remember fondly our goofy, often troubled performances on the IWU quad, or at the Phoenix club, or at the Gallery.
After more than fifteen years, four of the original band members have reconvened via the internet to record new music and re-record (and re-imagine) some of the old. This site posts news and discussions on the new recording venture, dubbed Bloomington Democracy.
