Career

Pregnant started as a solo project consisting only of Daniel Trudeau. The first album, Ike Wimin, was released on KDVS Recordings in 2009. Pregnant continued as a solo project for the albums Regional Music (2010) and Life Hard: I Try (2011). [4]

For their fifth album, Pottery Mill (2013), Pregnant became a duo with the addition of Daniel's brother Matt Trudeau. [5] The band eventually relocated to Sacramento and released several more albums with different band members, with Daniel Trudeau being the only consistent member. Their 10th album, Duct Tape (2017), [6] was released on Plastic Response Records and features fellow Sacramento musician Mason Lindahl.

In 2014, Daniel started a project called Your Song, in which people could donate $7 or more through the band's Bandcamp page for him to write, record and release a song about them. He commissioned over 100 songs for this project, which were released as compilations through independent cassette labels. [7]
