A Night with Lizard

On January 18th, I had the pleasure of seeing Lizard at Horus Hall in Fort Worth. Hailing from Denton, this rock band features Braven on lead guitar and vocals, Jake on rhythm guitar and vocals, Jaedon on drums, and Zack on bass. The evening unfolded with invigorating music, engaging conversations, and a palpable enthusiasm for the local music scene, serving as an exciting launch into a year brimming with live performances.

As the second act of the night, Lizard instantly captivated the audience with their vibrant energy. Their sound is a delightful blend of strong melodies and playful rhythms, punctuated by danceable riffs—perfect for conjuring up the spirit of revelry on the beach. Attending a Lizard show is an exhilarating experience that ignites a sense of thrill from start to finish.

It’s immediately clear when an artist possesses a true passion for their craft, and with Lizard, their love for performance is unmistakable. Watching them take the stage is a testament to their calling as entertainers. The infectious energy they pour into their music reverberates through the crowd, leaving everyone buzzing.

Lizard’s commitment to the music community shines not just through their performance but also in how they uplift fellow artists. They demonstrate this camaraderie by inciting mosh pits during other bands' sets and playfully inviting their peers on stage for a cheeky moment mid-performance. After engaging with the band members, their genuine warmth and amiability became even more apparent.

With a night filled with remarkable talent and a contagious celebration of the local music scene, Saturday’s show at Horus Hall marked the ideal kickoff to the year’s musical journey. Heartfelt thanks to Lizard, Rosa Monte Rosa, and Rats of Mars for such an unforgettable evening.
