In what has to rank as one of the most unlikely developments in rock, the awe-inspiring primal force of the Jesus Lizard (http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnRvdWNoYW5kZ29yZWN vcmRzLmNvbS9iYW5kcy9iYW5kLnBocD9pZD 03OA==) will return, briefly, in 2009. The original lineup of David Yow, Duane Denison, David Wm. Sims and Mac McNeilly will reform for a very limited series of live dates in 2009, starting with the All Tomorrow’s Parties event dubbed The Fans Strike Back (http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmF0cGZlc3RpdmFsLmN vbS9hdHAvRXZlbnRzL1RoZUZhbnNTdHJpa2 VCYWNrLnBocA==) in Minehead, UK on May 9 and 10 and ending with a final appearance in Chicago in late November. These shows will be the Jesus Lizard’s first since disbanding in 1999 and the first in twelve years to feature the original storied quartet. As anyone who has experienced the Jesus Lizard live can attest, they are one of the most intense and visceral musical assemblies to ever stalk a stage. This fleeting reunion offers an incredible opportunity to either be blown away all over again or to immerse yourself in the sweaty power and driving mayhem for the very first time.

In celebration of this event, Touch and Go Records will reissue four full-length releases from the Jesus Lizard in May 2009.Remastered recordings of Head, Goat, Liar, and Down will be available on both LP and CD, all with expanded packaging and liner notes. Bob Weston is heading up the remastering process with Steve Albini, the original session engineer, sitting in.


Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Goat was awesome. However, I'm always skeptical when a reunion comes about. I doubt they'll ever top themselves.

[kemichels]

I saw this band live several times in the mid- 90's .... they ALWAYS DELIVERED!

Great records that have stood the test of time. Many unique quialitys about thier music.

Had the pleasure of working with Mac McNeilly's previous band "86" for a few years , so i knew him pretty well and got to watch first hand him taking JL to a new and powerful level.

The Jesus Lizard really were a great rock band. Missed by many ...
