I wonder where that started, saying LSS sounds like TJL. That's laughable, why, because the guitarist was in both bands? Nobody sounds like The Jesus Lizard

. LSS is just killer, high energy roots-rock. I love J.D.'s other band The Dirt Daubers too. Their last album "Wild Moon" was outstanding.
I was kind of surprised to see where they're playing here in in April, smaller than any place I've seen them before. I'm sure the place will be packed, but in my mind I thought they'd be playing bigger clubs by now. Then again, taking 5 yrs off might have something to do with it.
Edit/add:
Also on LSS - anyone know what happened to Mark Robertson on bass? Was he playing with them the last few months? There's a new live vid on their FB with a younger, new bassist. All they said in the comments was that's our new guy.
Mark is awesome. I'm hoping he didn't get the boot, and just has some priorities this spring.
