David Bazan Announces iTunes single/7''

Pedro the Lion frontdude David Bazan has announced a political-in-tone itunes single to be released, when else, but election day! (Next Tuesday, November 4th, 2008.) According to Barsuk's website, the single will also be released as a 7'' sometime in the near future in limited quantities, and the b-side to both the digital and physical copies shall be a demo recording of a new Bazan song entitled Please Baby Please, which can be seen as well as heard on the recently released Bazan : Alone at the Microphone DVD.

Luckily, you can stream the a-side, American Flags right now, thanks to the miracle of the internets, at Myspace. The track was mixed and mastered by former Pedro the Lion rhythm section-er and current mastering whiz TW Walsh, and it sounds fantastic. Between this, the dvd, and that Holiday single, it's shaping up to be a very Bazan Christmas, indeed....though seven inch records won't fit very well in an average stocking.

All this news, but no word yet on the ETA of Bazan's first full-length solo effort you guys keep asking about in emails, comments, and smoke signals. Keep yr ear to the ground. Additionally, Bazan will play a few one-offs on the west coast, as well as a very abbreviated set of solo shows in the sleepy and likely snow-laden midwest before year's end. Those dates can be found below:
