In days now long gone by–well the early 1990s–in the Heartland of America, four Illinois Wesleyan University and one Illinois State University undergraduates formed a garage band by the name of Lizards From Afar. Combining elements of classic, punk, and alternative rock with a sprinkling of comedy and music theater, the group performed shows in and around Bloomington, Illinois, between 1991 and 1993 with various personnel changes before finally breaking up. In that time, the group recorded some of their music in an extremely amateur fashion using the limited technology available at the time and according to their budget–which is to say, on four-track tape recorders with a few microphones. After more than fifteen years, four of the original band members have reconvened via the internet to record new music and re-record (and re-imagine) some of the old.
