While the dogs seem to be winning, the Lizards are confident that losing their seats to their pets is just a temporary setback. After all, dogs don't drive.

Bob Resnick (bass and vocals) serves the winners, while Richard Bowden (mandolin, fiddle and vocals) supports the gleeful tiddlywinks, a rat terrier. Hank Card (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), joins forces with his dogs Jasmine, a half-lab, and Gilbert, an Australian Shepherd, and confers with them on whether the next game will be five-card stud with Aces low or Go Fish. To get back in the game, Conrad Deisler (acoustic, guitar, and vocals) serenades Lily, a part Chow. Meanwhile, Tom Pittman (steel, banjo) hopes to butter up Belle, by massaging her shoulders. Rufus, a Chow/Border Collie waits his turn..... With an underlay of acoustic bluegrass, the band's sound is infused with a truly eclectic Austin mix of country, rock, and folk.

In fact, the only thing this band is serious about is their music. The rest is up for grabs ­ and the butt of their lyrics. A true harmonic convergence occurs when their music is merged with their distorted and satirical view of the world.

National Public Radio's Morning Edition, the Nashville Network, and Kerrville Folk festival (Band of the Year in 1994 and 1996) are just a few of the diverse venues that appreciate the Austin Lounge Lizards' brand of humor. Then there's Billboard magazine that dubbed the group "hilarious, endearing and literary."

With titles like "There's a Monkey on My Back (And It Looks Like You)," "The Dogs, They Really Miss You," "Shallow End of the Gene Pool," and "Flatnose the Tree-Climbing Dog," there's enough to keep audiences cheering and stamping their feet for more. Being politically incorrect was never so right than when you listen to the Austin Lounge Lizards' original approach to life.
