Austin Punk Band Meat Joy Reuniting For First Shows In 38 Years, Reissuing Debut Album

The Austin punk band Meat Joy are reuniting for their first shows in 38 years. The band — which was formed in 1982 and played their last show in 1985 — played with the Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Hüsker Dü, and the Crucifucks, and they released one full-length album in 1984, a self-titled affair that’s being reissued later this year.
