Sweet Lizard Illtet - Sweet Lizard Illtet

Review by Vishnu Narayanan

Sweet Lizard Illtet's self-titled album is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. The album features a unique blend of jazz, funk, and rock elements, creating a sound that is both fresh and familiar. The musicianship on display is exceptional, with each member of the band contributing their own unique style to the mix.

The album kicks off with the upbeat and funky "Funky Duck," which sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the band takes the listener on a journey through various moods and styles, from the laid-back groove of "Lizard Lounge" to the frenetic energy of "Illtet Funk."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sweet Lizard," which features a haunting melody and intricate guitar work. The song builds to a crescendo before coming back down to earth in a satisfying resolution.

From the way way back partying in NYC in the early 90s. Got down with these fellas on a number of occasions. Super legit way out shows with sicko energy.

huyphan5677

I saw these guys in Hoboken, NJ on Earth Day in the early 90s. I was overcome. Raw and just brilliant. It changed my life. Thanks Mike and Zef! Hope you guys are doing well!

santinosvrn2018

I first heard of these guys when I heard them live at shows in NYC and Hoboken I believe - they were AMAZING live - they combined the sound of Trouble Funk (Wash. D.C. sound) with guitars, rap, so much more... just amazing, and unfortunately, WAY ahead of their time :( .....

stg63

Didn't know they were still around.

marilealuz

Excellent!

mannbrianj

I hung out with the bass player.. Mike Ill and his wife Rivka a few times when they had their band Mad Happy in the early 2000's. I met them through my other friend whose band was oh my god from Chicago. Good people Mike and Rivka, but I had no idea that this band ever existed and it was not something that ever came up in our discussions. Its good.

mionetonks

hey wait, didnt i see the drummer at the IGA in Lewes?lol specimen

tatyannesouza22

I saw SLI perform on the second stage at Lolapalooza 2 back in '92. Awesome performance, and I bought their album the very next week. As other commenters have said, they were definitely ahead of their time.

robuchon1

YES!!!

antonigno2

big fan and I agree their record company showed them no love they should have been big. My band had the opportunity to open for them on a couple of occasions, they were really cool guys.

weak. second rate Red hot chili NOPE

haibogorngariung

was a huge fan ot these guys...I was doing projects similar to this out in Cali during the metal funk age. Got to see them in a small bar with no stage around Santa Cruz, CA
You guys were awesome!!

lansart

Great fucking band, they were. Got to see them a bunch back in the early 90's. Happy to see this here. Thanks.

I worked at Electric Lady when they were recording this. (no I did not work on the album, I was but a lowly GA at the time). The Studio set up was an experiment of mad scientist proportions, something to be amazed and cock your head at.

The Drums were moved six times and had about 15 mic on it. The engineer on this made heavy use of the large effects plates at the lady creating some awesome 'splwooosh' sounds that are used throughout the album.

tarynpratt

I got the CD...without looking I think it was self titled.

lolibokushi

I remember seeing them live in NYC.. They were an amazing live band!! Definitely were ahead of their time like many have said..

absorbedtask66

Thought these guys were gonna be HUGE .... great live band, seen them numerous times. Always a ton of energy live. Still listen to the CD from time to time

fernandesmarcela

I'm a great fan of this band. It's a shame that is over. My cd was stolen a few years ago and I can't find it here in Brazil. I think it's because I live now in a city far from São Paulo. But I wouldn't quit. Very good post!

studiobite

One of my all time faves. Cannot be reproduced.

jlzhuge

I saw these guys in a dive bar in Charlotte, NC around 1994 opening for a band called Egypt. I was hooked immediately and bought the alum that night. To this day it's still one of my favorite finds.
