Changing the face of contra dance music in a random way.

We are:
Dave Langford - fiddle/guitar
Bill Tomczak - clarinet/saxophone/banjo uke/dumbek
Peter Barnes - piano/guitar/flute/harmonica

Combined, we represent over 60 years of playing for contra dances, english country dance and a variety of miscellaneous musics often related to folk dancing of some sort or another (or not). Every time we played together we consistently had such a great time, we decided to name the band and even record a CD or two. And we're still having a blast!
 

The Latter Day Lizards are versatile artistic masters of the highest known reaches of modern dance propulsion technology. Bill Tomczak, Peter Barnes and Dave Langford have emerged all-powerful from the forging fires of decades-long engagements in the misty world of the Bands of Legend - yonder in the mysterious East. Prepare, for they are driven to drive YOU.
