Out Now! Pedro the Lion “Live At The Crumb” EP

Before our summer started, we went back to The Crumb studio in Seattle to play through a few songs and capture video so fans could get an idea of what we’re doing out on tour. We’re so happy with how it turned out we decided to release the audio recordings as a stand-alone EP.

“Live At The Crumb” is available today everywhere you listen to music.

Don’t miss David Bazan playing drums and singing on the upcoming Pedro the Lion tour! For those who might not know, Dave plays drums on most of the Pedro and Bazan albums, but this will be his first time playing drums on tour! He’ll be joined by long-time collaborator Erik Walters on guitar and backing vocals and the incredible Rebecca Cole on synth, keyboard bass and backing vocals.

They’ll be playing songs from Santa Cruz, Havasu, Phoenix along with bunch of classics from the back catalog and a couple or fun covers! It’s going to be an epic show. We hope to see you out there.

We’re Moving Our Email List To Substack!

BIG NEWS! We’re moving our email list over to Substack. We’ve been running our list for nearly 20 years (WOW!) and the last 10 years it’s been administered through Mailchimp. For a bunch of reasons it’s time move on and it seems like Substack will be a good place to continue our long and beautiful friendship.

Moving forward, we’ll be posting news about Pedro the Lion and Dave’s other musical adventures, tour dates, music, exclusive merchandise, conversations, peek behind the scenes and whatever else we can think of over at Bazan HQ on Substack.

We’re still in the process of moving everyone’s emails over to Substack. But it’s taking longer than we expected. It’s a pretty big list and I guess they want to make sure we’re doing anything janky with your emails.

In the mean time, we wanted you to be the first to know that new music is imminent — we’ll be premiering “Modesto” from the forthcoming Pedro the Lion album Santa Cruz on Tuesday, April 2 @ 9 AM CT.

Sign up to Bazan HQ at Substack to get that link.

There’s an option for a modestly priced paid subscription to our Substack that directly supports Dave’s ongoing work. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of news and updates for free. But there will be some special content directly from Dave every month and other perks for those who decide to upgrade to a paid subscription.

We have a more good news coming soon. Please stay tuned.
