The Jesus Lizard himself David Yow has been confirmed as the special guest for the Dicks' reunion at the 2008-09 Austin Music Awards at the Austin Music Hall on March 18. Here's hoping the former Scratch Acid berserker barks out "Wheelchair Epidemic" for the occasion. The only other confirmation at this time is the collaboration between Roky Erickson and the Black Angels. Stay plugged in to Off the Record in the coming weeks for more details.
