A band who really, definitely are reforming for 2009 are The Jesus Lizard, who have announced that they'll play their first show in twelve years. The original line up will reunite for a one off series of live dates which begin with an appearance at All Tomorrow's Parties' The Fans Strike Back at Minehead in May. To celebrate the live dates, remastered versions of four of their albums, 'Head', 'Goat', 'Liar' and 'Down' are to be released the same month.
The line up for The Fans Strike Back is, as previously reported, to be chosen partly by ATP and partly using votes from fans. Other acts also chosen by ATP include Devo and Spiritualized, and voting on other acts has begun for ticket-holders.
