After 10 years in the making,local Sydney funk rocker's Lizard, have finally completed their first full length debut album called If a ...but a ... did I? . Hailing from the Hawkesbury the band was formed by bassist Jason "widebelly" Dowse and guitarist/singer/tree lopper/& brother in law Matt Charnley.with a vision to fuse the blues of Hendrix with the power of rage against the machine the pair embarked on a mission to recruit the right combination to complete the lineup.

After several lineup changes,new haircut's,& fresh grooves the pair decided to expand & settled with ex N.R.N.R. guitarist rob chapple and began working on what would become "iforbuttadideye. 2 of the bands songs have been picked up for a new t.v. series on sbs called "swift and shift couriers",the show is made by the guy's that brought you fat pizza and premiers on the 27th of october.with new/old drummer Matt Reynolds in tow the band has hit the road to promote their debut slab and will be coming to a theatre near you !

2. A Polish progressive rock band.
LIZARD has a variety of influences. They intrigate Crimsonian influences with a spirit skin to that of their compatriots in COLLAGE. The vocals have a neo prog influence while the instrumental parts have an emphasis on the individual player's skill. The musicianship is intricate with complicated band interplay.

"W Galerii Czasu" reflects a strong influence of U.K. and E.L.P..
