re-release it

In January 2014, Shawn Harris, Justin San Souci, Matt Whalen, and Jon Devoto met while all were back in Oakland. Their licensing deal with Epitaph Records for E. Von Dahl Killed the Locals had expired, so they decided to re-release it themselves as an LP record (the original releases had been in compact disc format) to coincide with the ten-year anniversary of the Epitaph release. They teased the release through social media , prompting inquiries and demand for a reunion concert. That May, they announced a one-time reunion show to take place in November at Slim’s in San Francisco. It sold out immediately, as did a second date added at Slim’s and a third at the Great American Music Hall . Due to the unexpected demand, further reunion shows were added in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. The re-release of E. Von Dahl Killed the Locals came out that September as a two-disc package, including both the original self-released version of the album and the re-mixed Epitaph version. The band ended up performing nine sold-out shows in the United States, playing the album in its entirety as well as some later songs. Two performances at the Troubadour in Los Angeles were recorded, and released as the live album 10YearsEVDKTL in December. This was followed by a five-date tour of Australia in January 2015.
