"Artist(s) Who Deserve Your Friendship: The Lizards from Mars"

The Lizards from Mars is an experimental funkified alien side project from shredder, champion picker and groovemaster Tom Copson, Jr. (The Hustle, BurnDown All Stars) and the solid backbone of Swift Technique, drummer Rich Agren and bassist Jake Leschinsky. The trio bonded over mutual respect of each other’s works one evening when sharing a bill in NYC so they decided to collaborate on an experimental project which would explore Middle Eastern styles, proficient funk rock and free space as well as finding themselves dabbling in dub, metal and jazz, with a Zappa-type flare. Judging by these genre jumpers’ repertoire so far, the things that remain constant are their desire to make you dance and fuck with your brain (Copson certainly doesn’t have all his nifty pedals and gadgets just for show). Take a listen and you’ll find a group of seasoned veterans letting loose on some nasty shit!
