David Bazan

David Bazan’s new record Curse Your Branches came out yesterday on one of my favorite record label, Barsuk Records. To understand Bazan, you have to look back at the band he started, Pedro the Lion.


DAVID BAZAN w/ Passenger String Quartet

at the Cedar Cultural Center

Tuesday 11/11/14, 7pm


$20: thecedar.org



It’s been a long time since we talked about Pedro the Lion or David Bazan… but apparently he’s been quite busy releasing handmade 7″ and also going on tour to play with Passenger String Quartet…. I can only imagine orchestral versions of old Bazan, Pedro the Lion and Headphones Songs.



Also listed as opener, David Dondero.
