The Muffs reissuing 'Blonder and Blonder,' touring

The Muffs have been back in action for a few years now, having released the very good Whoop Dee Doo in 2014 on Burger/Cherry Red (their first album since 2004). They’re now reissuing their second and best album, 1995’s Blonder and Blonder, on May 27 via Omnivore Recordings. The reissue comes with seven bonus tracks, including two UK b-sides and five previously unissued demos, and it’ll be the first time the album is out on vinyl in over two decades (the first pressing is on baby blue vinyl, with black to follow). It also includes “photos, drawings, memorabilia, and essays from [bassist Ronnine] Barnett and [drummer Roy] McDonald, as well as track-by-track commentary from [singer Kim] Shattuck.” Check out the tracklist and stream a few highlights off the record below.

The Muffs also have dates coming up, including a two-night stand at Brooklyn’s Union Pool on July 14 & 15. That same weekend they’ll hit Jersey City’s Monty Hall (7/16). Tickets for Brooklyn are on sale now and NJ goes on sale Friday (4/29) at noon. All dates are listed below.
