Our musical undertaking has persisted for more than 28 years now. Our 10th CD, entitled "The Drugs I Need" on the Blue Corn label, was released on October 10, 2006.
We continue to play festivals and concert halls all over North America. We've added many new songs to the show, such as the title track, a bouncy little consumer's-eye view of the pharmaceutical industry, and "Go Ahead and Die," a rousing pirate ballad about health insurance. "Buenos Dias, Budweiser", a tri-lingual ode to heartbreak and beer, and "One True God", a look at religious tolerance and diversity, are also proving to be big hits with Lizard fans everywhere. Our recording of "C-U-B-A," an Irving Berlin classic, was used in Michael Moore's latest movie, "SICKO."
