For thirty years, David Bazan has been writing about what it means to believe in something—and what it means when those beliefs fray. When Pedro the Lion released It's Hard to Find a Friend in 1998, Bazan was already a keen observer of moral and existential conflict, capturing minor human disappointments with devastating attention. By the time Control came out, his writing had sharpened, slicing through suburban politeness and the American dream with pinpoint precision. For over a decade, he built Pedro the Lion into one of indie rock's most quietly radical projects, chronicling doubt, faith, guilt, and the messy pursuit of grace in a way that felt both deeply personal and
universally resonant.

Then, in 2006, he retired the Pedro the Lion moniker, as if setting down an old burden. Bazan kept writing, releasing the synth project Headphones and five solo albums that
were blunt and revelatory in their own right, but the decision to retire the name felt definitive. Until, suddenly, it wasn't. In 2017, after being dormant for more than a decade, Pedro the Lion was back. The deeply autobiographical albums to follow, Phoenix, Havasu and Santa Cruz, marked a return to the places that shaped him literally and metaphorically, tracing the lines of the past to understand the shape of the present.

Now, on the occasion of Pedro the Lion's 30th anniversary, Bazan is doing what he does best: stepping onto a stage with long-time musical collaborator, Erik Walters on guitar and backing vocals, along with recent addition to the band, Andrew Rudd on drums, and making these songs feel brand new again. The anniversary shows are less about commemoration than they are continuation, a chance to revisit their 30-year catalog in a way that is still active, still evolving.

"The name felt like an imaginary friend for me," he says, "a way to have a relationship with myself." But if Pedro the Lion was once an imaginary friend, it is now something else. It is less like a ghost from the past and more like an old companion you fall back in step with, no matter how much time has passed. For all the sorrow and searching that has shaped it, the music has always had an essential warmth—a belief in people, in possibility, and in the redemptive power of bearing witness to your own life. Three decades in, Pedro the Lion remains a project about faith, even if that faith has taken on new shapes. It's the persistent hope that there is meaning in the telling: if you lay it all out, every doubt and devotion, every failure and flicker of hope, something honest will emerge.
