Difficult Listening Music is the name of the third EP by Demon Groove Lizards. It features four original songs composed by the band. It is a wonderful collection of heavy funk and hard rock, performed with tremendous skill, finesse and fun by five fantastic musicians. By the time Demon Groove Lizards recorded their second demo, Demo Two, the band’s line-up had changed somewhat compared to their earlier Demo One recording. Joining the band’s hardcore of Ian Lee on bass and Brent Cassidy on rhythm guitar were Phil Stamp on vocals, Jay Henson on lead guitar and Chris White on drums. This same lineup of the quintet consolidated and continued further along the curve of their musical development for the Difficult Listening Music EP. Demon Groove Lizards had performed many live shows by this time and were clearly a much more rehearsed, silkier and well-drilled unit. Third on the EP is Down. This is another Chilis style groove with complex guitar and bass patterns. This song wouldn’t sound out of place on the RHCP album Upift Mofo Party Plan. So much is going on that you surely will need to listen a few times to catch all of the more clever and subtle details. This is a musically highbrow song from composers who understand and enjoying playing with music theory.
