• Original Jesus Lizard Reunites After 12 Years: Gigs, Re-releases

  The news about noise-alt-rock heroes the Jesus Lizard getting back together for a spell in '09 has been out a while now, but I just heard about it, so here you go. Via Quarterstick/TGR: In what has to rank as one of the most unlikely developments in rock, the awe-inspiring primal force of the Jesus Lizard will return, briefly, in 2009.
