Overview of alternative hard rock band Lazarus X
History of Lazarus X
- In the early nineties the artist Dave L. lived for the
guitar. He was in a band that had an upcoming tour starting in Austin in a few
weeks. Life was good. Then in an moment of youthful impetuousness, an incident
he refers to as “the car surfing incident” he climbed on the hood of a friends
car as the friend sped down a dark road at a reckless 60 mph. Bad idea. With the
squeal of brakes and an explosion of pain down his left side, in an instant a
promising career was over. Or so the doctors said
anyway.

I must confess
that
when I was assigned the task of covering a private release party for Lazarus
X and their CD Weapon of Love I didn't know that much about the band. Of
course I had heard rumblings that something unusual was going on with this
band from southern Texas, so I decided to make the trip to Houston and see
for myself. (read more)

very universal. The themes are sometimes intensely personal
and other times very political, focusing on universal themes which examine
the human condition.

hard rock combined with
haunting and soulful melodies which has struck a chord with many fans.

Lyrics for Weapon of Love
-
The
lyrics are very moving, at times dark and at others
very inspiring and insightful. The
subject matter is very personal covering topics such as attempted suicide,
(Two Ropes) the solace of music in the face of hopelessness, (Asylum) to
more far reaching topics such as global unrest, (Weapon of Love) and loss of
freedom post 9-11, (Free Radicals).
Interesting Facts
-
Lazarus X got his nickname after a tough recovery from a broken forearm and
wrist. Doctors told him he’d never play the guitar again. His career was
“reborn” after 8 years of rehab. During those 8 years he began to develop his
voice and to write a few of the songs playing “guitar” in his head.
