David Bazan Covers Bob Dylan, Peter Wolf Crier Covers Nick Drake

Earlier today, Crawdaddy mentioned some excellent front row footage by Urban Agrarian of Minneapolis duo Peter Wolf Crier reinterpreting Nick Drake’s softer folk version of “Place to Be” as a rowdy garage-rock jam atop a bed of digital delay loops. If that live clip — shot at Madison, Wisconsin’s Memorial Union Terrace last month — doesn’t inspire you to check out Peter Pisano and Brian Moen on tour with Rogue Wave and Midlake this fall, I don’t know what will.

What’s more, upon further inspection of the Urban Agrarian site, which I will certainly be following from here on out, I found that Spencer Wells also filmed/recorded a living room show with Pedro the Lion’s David Bazan recently, in which Bob Dylan’s 1970 New Morning standout “The Man In Me” was performed for an intimate group sans microphones or a PA. Download audio of that entire performance here and check out both videos below (big thanks to Wells and Co. for letting us share these clips):
