Deerhoof reissuing early LPs, touring; stream Mary Halvorson & John Dietrich's new LP

Deerhoof are reissuing early albums Holdypaws, Halfbird, and The Man, The King, The Girl on vinyl for the first time ever in celebration of the band’s 25th anniversary. Those are out November 22 via Joyful Noise, Kill Rock Stars and Polyvinyl, respectively, and you can stream tracks from them below. The band have also just announced a new NYC show happening January 28 at Elsewhere Hall (tickets). That’s their only North American show at the moment but they have European festival dates this month, including an appearance at Le Guess Who? in the Netherlands. All Deerhoof dates are listed below.

Meanwhile, Deerhoof’s John Dietrich just released a collaborative album with guitarist Mary Halvorson, a tangle of stars, last week. The record mixes free jazz and experimental moments with some lovely instrumentals and you can stream the whole thing below.

Mary and John had a release show at NYC’s Roulette earlier this week, and Mary is now on the road as part of the Tomeka Reid Quartet who have Midwest dates through the weekend. She’s also got shows with cornet player Taylor Ho Bynum, shows in Europe, and will be back for a residency at The Stone from December 3 – 7 that will have her collaborating with a variety of musicians. Those dates are listed below.
