The Jesus Lizard Reunion

According to a Pitchfork report, legendary noise/hardcore/punk act The Jesus Lizard will be reuniting in 2009.

The classic lineup of David Yow, Duane Denison, David Wm. Sims, and Mac McNeilly will hit the road on what the band's label is calling a "fleeting reunion."

In May of 2009, the band's first four albums, "Goat", "Liar", "Head" and "Down" will be reissued on CD and vinyl and are currently undergoing remastering by Bob Weston.

The engineer responsible for the original releases - Steve Albini - is supervising the remastering process.

Thanks for the info to Punknews.org.

Jesus lizard is a kickass band but I'm not creaming my pants over this because I heard this a few days ago.

[Powerchild]

I think they are awesome, even though I've only heard a few of their songs, because their four albums are "Goat, Liar, Head, and Down" that's how you know its good.

Indeed, good sir.
Cynic, Quo Vadis (they only split for a few monthes, but still), then these dudes.
I know they are nowhere near the same genre as the other two, but good muzak is good.

[atthedrive-thru]

[MerryGoRound]

i can understand why people won't like them, mainly due to the 'noise' side of noise rock, but for fans of similar music the Jesus Lizard rule.
