來自西雅圖（華盛頓）的地下樂隊(duì)Pedro the Lion，由主唱David Bazan創(chuàng)立至今已有12個(gè)年頭。由于他的大部分歌曲與圣經(jīng)有關(guān)，Pedro the Lion被有些人認(rèn)為是基督樂隊(duì)。但Bazan和樂隊(duì)并不這樣認(rèn)為。
Pedro the Lion由David Bazan與1994年組建并與1997年四月發(fā)行首張EP《Whole》。盡管樂隊(duì)整容經(jīng)多次調(diào)整，但Bazan依然是樂隊(duì)主要靈魂人物。在最早2張完整專輯Hard to Find a Friend (1998) and Winners Never Quit (2000)里，他演唱并完成所有的樂器部分。至今樂隊(duì)已總共發(fā)行4張專輯及一些EP。
貫穿他的整個(gè)事業(yè)，Bazan已合作過的樂人有Damien Jurado, Scientific, The Six Parts Seven, The Soft Drugs的Tim Walsh, Seldom, 及Unwed Sailor. 他還和Nick Peterson,及來自Starflyer 59的Frank Lenz, 組建樂隊(duì) Headphones.
在2006年一月，Pedro the Lion宣告解散。然而樂隊(duì)的名字依然被用于他們每年的圣誕單曲。
在他目前的巡回竟限于Undertow Orchestra后，Bazan繼續(xù)錄制他的首張solo 。這張EP與2006年6月發(fā)行，而完整的專輯將待2007年發(fā)行。Walsh 重又做起web application developer（網(wǎng)頁應(yīng)用開發(fā)商？）并致力于他的個(gè)人solo項(xiàng)目The Soft Drugs。
After a shifting lineup, Pedro the Lion finally eventually became a one-man outfit. That man is David Bazan. A Seattle native, Bazan cut his teeth playing in hardcore bands before forming Pedro in 1995, taking the bands name from a character he made up for a possible childrens book. Under the moniker of Pedro the Lion, Bazan creates melodic pop in the vein of Bedhead, Hayden, and Sebadoh, with a lyrical focus on relationships — with both other people and God. Bazan also plays in the band Unwed Sailor with Johnathon Ford of Roadside Monument. Pedro the Lions debut full-length album, Its Hard to Find a Friend, was released in 1998. An EP titled The Only Reason I Feel Secure shortly followed, and in early 2000 Pedro the Lion returned with Winners Never Quit on Jade Tree. In 2001, Jade Tree reissued the bands first two records, and Casey Foubert joined the band to handle bass, percussion, and keyboard duties for the next record, 2002s Control. In 2004, the band issued their most expansive album, Achilles Heel. Two years later, in early 2006, Bazan retired the Pedro moniker to continue on with solo work under his own name; the first official David Bazan release, the Fewer Moving Parts EP, appeared that July. Long-time collaborator and multi-instrumentalist T.W. Walsh moved on with his own project, the Soft Drugs, and returned to a career in software engineering.
