So What’s Up With Pedro the Lion?

Here’s info from their publicist, Riot Act Media:

Pedro the Lion’s TW Walsh has decided to leave the band and take his life in a different direction, returning to his career as a software engineer. “Dave and I are still buddies,” says Walsh, “I wish him the best, and I know that he’ll continue to thrive and grow as an artist on his own…I think his best work is still ahead of him. As for me, I’m thankful for all the experiences that my tenure with the band provided, but I am sure that this was the right decision for me and my family.”

With TW’s departure, Dave Bazan has decided to drop the Pedro The Lion moniker and forge ahead under his own name. This is not to say that the Pedro The Lion name will never be used again. But for now there will be no new releases or touring using the band name.

Bazan plans to work on a new studio album in the spring and summer that will be released by Jade Tree in early 2007. Bazan’s other musical outlet, Headphones, will most likely have a new album prepped for release by Suicide Squeeze sometime after the solo effort.

TW will continue work on his new project, the Soft Drugs, and will release a debut sometime in 2006.
