pacificlectic : concert reviews & eclectic music news

David Bazan is off on another jaunt of a 40+ house concert tour.  Last night’s show at the McKenzie Study Center at Gutenberg College wasn’t technically a “house,” but it still had that living room feel.

He showed up a tad late, but after quickly setting up, he entertained a few questions and then kicked into his set…

Setlist: about 75 minutes

• Q&A #1
• Hot Girls [Headphones]
• Fewer Broken Pieces
• Big Trucks [Pedro the Lion]
• Man In Me [Bob Dylan]
• Q&A #2
• “I write it down for what it’s worth” [new song, no title mentioned]
• Hard To Be
• Virginia
• Shit Talker [Headphones]
• Q&A #3
• Wolves At The Door
• Selling Advertising
• Of Minor Prophets and Their Prostitute Wives [Pedro the Lion]
• Q&A #4
• The Fleecing [Pedro the Lion]
• Cold Beer and Cigarettes
• Q&A #5
• Strange Negotiations
  No Encore

Some Bazan-related news…

1) His newest side-project Overseas is up for pre-order now.  If you pre-order it, you get a download of the full album immediately.  I got it a couple weeks ago, and I dig it.  Overseas is David Bazan, Will Johnson, Matt Kadane and Bubba Kadane…. and in the 2nd Q&A I asked if they were going to tour.  He said that they will likely do a limited set of dates: a few Texas dates, New York area dates, and then a limited West Coast run (LA, SF, Portland, Seattle).

2) On this tour, though he didn’t have them available last night, is a art print that comes with a download code for a Covers EP.  He didn’t have them last night, but noted that we could buy it online (soon) without shipping fees.  He should have them soon on some of the other dates on this tour.  He mentioned the Bob Dylan cover, Radiohead’s “Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box,” and a few others will be included.
