David Bazan was, for many years, the songwriter and driving force behind the acclaimed indie band Pedro the Lion, building a dedicated following and selling a couple hundred-thousand albums based in large part on his extraordinary melodic sense and erudite, theologically-themed songs. After a decade helming the project, he found himself embroiled in a major personal philosophical and spiritual cataclysm, wrapped in a growing drinking problem. Bazan got to work exorcizing both his demons and angels, ditching the Pedro moniker in favor of his given name and producing three critically-acclaimed releases; Fewer Moving Parts EP (2007), Curse Your Branches (2009) and Strange Negotiations (2011).

To celebrate the vinyl re-issues of Pedro The Lion’s back-catalog and the 10th Anniversary of the band’s seminal album, “Control,” Bazan and his band, Andy Fitts (bass), and Alex Westcoat (drums), will be playing the “Control” start-to-finish on their fall tour.

Don’t miss this one-time chance to see these songs performed live… some of them for the first time ever.
