Together for approximately 11 years (1985-1996), the Lizard Train's debut album Thirteen Hour Day Dream was released in 1986. NKVD records http://www.nkvdrecords.com/lizard.htm describes their music as 'can vary from melodic and introspective pop to raging noise, and they do it all quite well'. Their line-up featured Shane Bloffwitch (bass), David Creese (drums), Phil Drew (guitar) and Chris Willard (guitar and vocals).

At the inaugural South Australian Music Industry Awards in 1992 the Lizard Train won two awards: Most outstanding Group/Individual and Most Outstanding Release for their third album Get Yer Wah Wahs Out.
