Lézard - ZOOM Bar - FRANKFURT AM MAIN

Lézard are a band from Belgium, and in retrospect, that kind of checks out. A country fractured down the middle between Flemish and French-speaking population, confusion ought to be a default state of mind. Their high-wired concoction of post-punk, disco, glam rock, new wave and electro-clash treads that fine line between comedy and tragedy – songs that unravel as both the theatrical release and the cacophony behind the scenes.

Their debut album Que Se Passe t-il is a diorama where the heartbroken, the voyeurs, the drug-addled and the dreamers mingle and sway beneath a shattered mirrorball. On the strength of first batch of singles, kickstarting with the fizzy “Nothing At All”, Lézard built a reputation for spectacle on stages both home and abroad, including festivals slots at Eurosonic, Reeperbahn, MaMA Festival, The Great Escape, Nurnberg Pop, Left of the Dial, Pukkelpop, Best Kept Secret, Eurosonic and Radiance.
