Chicago’s seminal Jesus Lizard will reform next year for a run of live shows to coincide with the remaster and reissue of Head, Goat, Liar and Down on CD and LP.

Touch and Go Records will release the new versions that will be overseen by Steve Albini and Bob Weston.

Jesus Lizard were one of the most incendiary and brutal live bands with frontman David Yow spending as much time in and on the audience as he did on stage.  Ten years after their last show they will reunite for a limited run of dates, the first of which will be the ATP event The Fans Strike Back in England.

In the words of Touch and Go:

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.
