Pedro the Lion is the brainchild and main output of Seattle singer/songwriter David Bazan. Formed in 1995, the band officially dissolved in January 2006, after which Bazan pursued a solo career. However, in late 2017, Pedro the Lion made a comeback with reunion shows announced by Bazan. The band signed to Polyvinyl Record Company in January 2018 and released new material in early 2019. Throughout its history, Pedro the Lion has had a fluid lineup, with Bazan being the only consistent member from album to album.

Some notable members who have contributed to Pedro the Lion include Brian Olson (drums), Nick Peterson (guitar), Tim Schiefer (guitar), Travis Smith (bass), Johnathon Ford (bass), Blake Wescott (drums), Benjamin Brubaker (drums), Josh Golden (bass), Ben Gibbard (bass - on tour), Trey Many (drums), Casey Foubert (drums/keyboards), TW Walsh (drums), Ken Maiuri (bass), James McAlister(synthesizer, percussion, drums, guitar) Erik Walters(guitar) and Sean Lane(drums).

If you enjoy artists such as Cursive, David Bazan himself or bands like The Good Life and Jeremy Enigk, then you'll definitely appreciate Pedro the Lion's unique sound. With influences ranging from

With Havasu, Bazan goes back to the seventh grade, where he and his family spent one year living in Lake Havasu City, AZ. The result is an open-hearted acknowledgment of shame and elation both, spaciously but delicately arranged in affirmation of the nurturing those feelings deserve-even if the kid in need of validation has long since grown up and moved away. After 25 years refining and building what he calls his "garden of songs," David Bazan has sold hundreds of thousands of albums, performed in sold-out clubs and living rooms around the globe, and played high-profile live sessions with the likes of NPR's Tiny Desk, KEXP, WNYC's Soundcheck, and many others. His music has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, SPIN, Vox, Paste and others, as well as 2019 year-end lists from NPR and Aquarium Drunkard. With Havasu, Bazan continues his prolific trajectory while planting the seeds for darker stories ahead.
