Glasgow Jazz Club presents Deceptive Lizard

Five-piece ensemble Deceptive Lizard brings raw, unapologetic, and immersive contemporary jazz to Glasgow Jazz Club at Anderson's. Glasgow Jazz Club continues its series of intimate, close-quarters performances at an exciting new home: Anderson's (formerly the iconic 13th Note on King Street). For this session at Anderson's, we are thrilled to present Deceptive Lizard—a powerful five-piece ensemble built around the vision of "unapologetic musical expression." Led and composed by bassist Brodie Laird-Jarvie, Deceptive Lizard plays high-energy jazz-rock where spontaneous improvisation meets indie-band momentum. Drawing inspiration in part from Jim Black’s AlasNoAxis, the band blends sharp forms and driving grooves into a raw, live sound that connects as powerfully with alternative music fans as it does with contemporary jazz listeners. Celebrating the release of their debut self-titled album, all five musicians bring their distinct voices to the stage, moulding the written material live to create a fresh, deeply immersive, and explosive experience at every turn. Join us in the subterranean atmosphere of Anderson's for an exceptional night of progressive live music. "This music is as honest as I can get in offering something towards a never-ending journey for authenticity and sincerity. Deceptive Lizard embodies everything I have been sonically searching for and is brought to life with the help of these incredible musicians and friends with whom I’ll share the stage." — Brodie Laird-Jarvie Lineup • Brodie Laird-Jarvie – Electric Bass • Harben Kay – Tenor Saxophone • Michael Butcher – Tenor Saxophone • Ben Macdonald – Guitar • Alex Palmer – Drums Concert Details • Date: Tuesday 3 November 2026 • Time: Doors open 7:30 PM | Music starts 8:00 PM • Venue: Anderson's (formerly 13th Note), 50–60 King Street, Glasgow, G1 5QT Venue & Accessibility Information • Seating: General Admission / Informal club seating/Basement venue • Bar: Full bar service available throughout the evening. • Location: Situated on King Street in the Merchant City area, easily accessible via Argyle Street and St Enoch subway stations.
