On Echolocation and in the live shows theyâve been playing over the past year-plus, Mendoza Hoff Revels embody a quintessential fusion of punk-rock spirit and avant-garde exploration. With guitarist Ava Mendoza and bassist Devra Hoff at the helm, this New York-based quartetâs electrifying sound locates it at the cutting edge of progressive rock, and has made Revels the latest darlings of the improvised-music world. NPR Music’s Nate Chinen named it one of his top albums of the year, writing: “The album isn’t a throwback, nor an attack on someone else’s orthodoxy; Mendoza and Hoff . . . are merely chasing their vision, with absolute unyielding conviction.”
Mendoza and Hoff both have a history of teaming up with world-class innovators across genres. The guitarist has collaborated with the likes of avant-garde icon John Zorn, genre-bending guitarist Nels Cline and free-jazz luminary William Hooker. Before starting Revels, her best-known solo project had been her experimental rock band, Unnatural Ways. The equally dynamic Hoff has performed with artists across rock, pop and experimental music such as Sharon Van Etten, experimental pop composer Julia Holter and punk legend Yoko Ono, displaying their versatility on over 100 recordings and gracing stages worldwide.
At Black Cat, D.C.âs legendary punk venue, the quartet will be rounded out by saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and drummer Ches Smith.
