Headliner DAVID BAZAN released records for almost 10 years under the band name PEDRO THE LION – before deciding to go it alone in 2005. A brave decision – Pedro The Lion’s fanbase was reverent and hardcore. However, Bazan comes back stronger than ever before with his new album, 'Curse Your Branches' (One Four Seven Records). By far this is the most cohesive, expansive, honest and downright beautiful collection of songs he has recorded. It’s largely a record about a broken relationship – but his broken relationship with his own beliefs and God rather than any human love affair. From the first line of “Hard to Be”, the album’s opener, it’s obvious we are in the territory of a master lyricist . He's just finished a huge 30+ date US tour and ends the year off with some super-intimate Living Room shows in the US. Watch one he did in Brooklyn here:

POSTDATA


Paul Murphy aka POSTDATA spent 2009 touring with his band WINTERSLEEP, supporting Editors and White Lies at huge venues across Europe. This tour supporting labelmate David Bazan, will be the first ever Postdata shows and a chance for fans to hear songs from his album, 'Postdata' (One Four Seven Records, Feb 1st 2010).


Paul decided to record an album under the Postdata moniker when it became apparent that he’d written a series of songs which all came from the same place, with a similar sentiment and a strong connection to his home and family. Recalling Low, Nick Drake, Smog, Bon Iver..
