Relevant offers  Dunedin band Alizarin Lizard play at the
Appleby Tavern Blues Bar tonight, with their new album, Do You
Just Want Me To Watch You? Chris Chilton shoots the breeze with
drummer Ben Sargeant.  Q: How long did the band spend working on
the album?  A: Technically this album is a bit Frankenstein. It
has been in the making since before our EP Oh, Colour (2010). It
features songs that Paul Cathro wrote and recorded by himself in
his flat before our current incarnation. Usually we like to
flesh out the tracks a bit more but we all agreed they were
fantastic the way they were. Don't fix what's not broken kinda
thing. There are songs which were demoed at the SIT in
Invercargill but the majority were recorded at The Attic (an
artist space in the heart of Dunedin CBD) over a couple of early
morning sessions which were governed by surrounding shops
opening hours) so, three years? Good
