I've seen Qui live, the band David Yow is currently involved with. That was bitchin.

The Jesus Lizard were awesome, Goat and Liar especially. They're guitarist is one of my favourites, there's some unbelievably great and original guitar work going on with this band...at times chaotic and dischordant, but also some really fu'ckin catchy, off kilter stuff as well. Top stuff. "Monkey Trick" is one of the best songs ever. Some of their albums are hit and miss, but they have 3 that are consistently great from beginning to end.

Hey, did anyone else hear about Jesus Lizard's reuion? Only me?

Quote:

Some 10 years after they called it a day, the glorious noise rock clusterfuck they call the Jesus Lizard will reconvene for a series of shows next year. Yep, all of 'em: the classic lineup of David Yow, Duane Denison, David Wm. Sims, and Mac McNeilly will hit the road on what the band's label Touch and Go calls a "fleeting reunion."

The only date announced thus far is an appearance at the All Tomorrow's Parties' "The Fans Strike Back" fest in Minehead, England the long weekend of May 8-10, though we're told things will come crashing down with a grand finale in the band's hometown of Chicago in November.

Come May, the band's first four albums-- Head, Goat, Liar, and Down-- will be released on CD and vinyl in newly remastered form. Bob Weston is heading up that process, with original engineer Steve Albini sitting in.
