Because We Love You...

Here's a Valentine's Day gift for you!
Download FREE the lullaby for lovers, 'Wake Up and Dream' from our EP The Orcas Sessions! This romantic duet is just the song to surprise the one you love on February 14th. Enjoy!

February Give-Away!
Every month, we dedicate the title track of our debut album 'Won't Give Up' to an especially inspiring person or organization that teaches us the meaning of never giving up when it comes to making dreams come true and changing the world.
Now, we are asking YOU: Who would you dedicate 'Won't Give Up' to?
Who or what inspires you to never give up reaching for the stars and achieving goals?
Tell us who teaches you to never give up and why, and you could win a personalized video performance of your favorite This is lizzard song!
Come on, let's inspire each other!! You can send us an e-mail, or tell us on our Facebook page.
The winner will be announced on February 29th.

This month, This is lizzard dedicates 'Won't Give Up' to War Child, an organization that helps change the lives of children all over the world. Dutch Radio 538 has started a musical campaign in collaboration with War Child that we support 100%!

366 Days

We all get a gift in 2012 - an extra day. That's right, folks, it's a leap year this year, which not only means anyone who was born on February 29th actually gets to celebrate their birthday, it also means we all get one whole extra day to fulfill our dreams!

Help This is lizzard Reach the World

Our dream this year is to reach lots and lots and LOTS of new listeners with our music. Making music is the best thing ever, but knowing other people are hearing it and enjoying it is even better.
But reaching new listeners costs money, which is why we started a project on Sponsume last month to raise funds for a promotion campaign called Help This is lizzard Reach the World! You can read all about the project here and by donating money, you're not only being instrumental in helping our music reach thousands of new listeners, you'll also be rewarded!
For any donation made, you'll receive anything from MP3 downloads to signed copies of the album(s) to a personalized video performance by This is lizzard! The project will run through February 2012 and your support would be greatly, hugely, massively appreciated!





Two Voices - One Message
We about to embark on a very exciting project in collaboration with singer/songwriter Inge and her band - a mini-tour entitled 'Two Voices - One Message', the message being whatever the listener chooses to interpret!
Inge and I met on Facebook, and we realized we had more in common than we thought - we both live in Zeeland, the south of Holland, we both have a new CD out and we both live for music! Both Inge and I sing (in English) about a lot of the same themes, but in our own unique and original way.

Dates & venues t.b.a - watch this space or head to our Facebook page for the latest news!

Help Us Reach the World!

What an incredible year 2011 has been!

After lying musically dormant for more than a decade, we recorded and released two albums on our own this year. We designed the artwork for both albums and made two video clips, for 'Won't Give Up' and our new holiday song, 'Christmas in Summertime', all by ourselves. We got our music on radio stations and podcasts throughout the US and the world, and we were nominated for various independent music awards, including the prestigious Hollywood Music in Media Award.

We pride ourselves on the fact that we've been able to do so much on our own.

We've been making music together for 14 years, but there's one thing we love more than making music, and that's sharing it.





So now, we're promoting our music on our own too. But self-promotion is turning out to be a lot tougher than we expected (especially with two kids who have to compete with the computer for our attention)! We're discovering that we really lack the know-how and the connections and the funds really get our music out into the world. And most importantly, self-promotion is so time-consuming, we don't have time anymore to do what we do best, which is making music!

So we're going to give crowd-funding a shot! We just started a project on Sponsume.com, and hope to be able to fund a world-wide promotion campaign in collaboration with independent record label, Blue Pie Records. Blue Pie co-released our EP 'The Orcas Sessions', and they believe in our music. Whatever amount we manage to raise, they will double it.

We want to build a professional team to reach the world with our music. YOU - our friends, family and fans, are a huge part of that team, and have helped us reach tons of new listeners, for which we thank you!

Now, you can be instrumental in helping us reach thousands of new listeners.



This video is 'A Day in the Life of This is lizzard', where we show how we spend our day, and how you can be instrumental in helping us out.


Please visit our project on Sponsume and help us reach the world with our music! Your generosity will not go unrewarded.


Thank you so much for your support, we wish you happy holidays from the bottom of our hearts, and the very best for 2012!
