The story goes that the debut album by Peter Wolf Crier, Inter-be, was written on a single lonely summer night in Minneapolis, during a flood of creativity for singer/songwriter Peter Pisano. Pisano shared the songs with drummer Brian Moen, and over the next couple months the duo would refine their vintage sound; eventually self-releasing the debut LP in October of 2009.
It wouldn’t be until Jagjaguwar Records (Bon Iver, GAYNGS, Okkervil River) signed the guys in March, that Pisano’s night of musical revelation would begin drifting through the rest of the nation. After playing SXSW later that month, and re-releasing their debut in May, Pisano and Moen joined the Heartless Bastards on their current two month tour, and have now extended these live dates until October 6th.
After concluding their role of support for Heartless Bastards on July 30th in Omaha, they will continue to capture new fans by joining forces with Midlake and Rogue Wave. The Rogue Wave headlined tour begins September 19th in Lawrence, KS., allowing enough time for Pisano and Moen to rest, select a new wardrobe, have their mail forwarded, and prepare for indie-stardom.
Peter Wolf Crier’s fall road trip will keep them east of the Rocky Mountains. Highlighted by performances in Chicago, Boulder, Boston, Asheville, and Nashville, the tour remarkably lacks dates in Texas and California, where Midlake and Rogue Wave respectively reside. Plenty of opportunities do exist for the rest of us though, check out all the dates below.
