Green Lizard (band)

Green Lizard was founded in 1994 and the first success happened in 1996 when they won the Big Prize of the Netherlands (annual competition for unknown bands to win money and gigs).

This EP was produced by Jack Endino, famous for his work with Nirvana and Soundgarden (to name a few) and was recorded in just 9 days.

In 2000, Green Lizard released their first album called Identity, produced by Clif Norrell (famous for his work with bands like Faith No More and Skunk Anansie).

The videoclip for the first single from this album, Turn Around, won the Golden Calf award for the animation, made by singer Remi.

The new version of the song, called Down 2K1, featured Dutch rapper Brainpower and DJ TLM, and was released as the third single.

In 2005 Newborn was released in Europe, with a bonus disc including several clips, movies and songs from Identity.

The first single, One Minute, was released before the album and is a split EP with the Belgian Punk band Janez Dedt.

Jasper Dankaart, formerly of the metalband Agresion took over from Bram van den Berg (Krezip), who took over temporarily.

The band has toured extensively, with bands like The Gathering, Krezip, Brainpower, Agresion, Soda P, The League Of XO Gentlemen, The Riplets, San Andreas and Cooper, and has performed with international acts like Alien Ant Farm, Dredg, Deftones, The Rasmus and Living Colour.
