Earlier this spring (February) THE DROP played host to David Bazan and Pattern is Movement for an incredible show at Sweet Briar College. If you missed it, here’s the recap. A Big thanks goes to Music Editor Matt Benson, Dan Jones, Delorean Graham and Bethany Larsen for their hard work putting this together.

I just posted about 70 photos to Flickr to give you a ringside seat on all the action from the latest installment of THE DROP Live! at Sweet Briar College. The show itself was a great one featuring songs from all of Bazans’ work with Pedro the Lion (currently touring with Ben Gibbard) as well as from his release, “Fewer Moving Parts”. Pattern is Movement also brought the noise and the funk as they jammed through a bakers dozen of songs mostly from their critically acllaimed “Stowaway” release. Pattern will next be heading to SXSW and you should check them out at the Hometapes Showcase (Scott Solter will be with them). Details on their Mypace page. After all the Austin merriment, the gents head into the studio to begin recording album number 3.

Exciting news! Ben is embarking on a short solo tour this May. Joining him as openers are friends, David Bazan (of Pedro the Lion) and Johnathan Rice.
