Hayden Pedigo has officially signed to Sub Pop. To celebrate the occasion, the singer has shared a (presumably satirical) contract with the indie label. The agreement includes a payment of \u201c777 Gorgeous Dollars,\u201d a lifetime supply of free passes to Ol\u2019 Bernard\u2019s Roller Rink & Organ Honkers, and a one-foot plot of Village Lake, \u201cformerly known as Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake in Richland Country, South Carolina, United States.\u201d The contract also states that the label will never ask Pedigo to perform covers of Def Leppard, Dokken, the Doors, Van Halen, or Tank Top Party Lads. Read the full document below.<\/p>\n

\u201cI signed with @subpop!!! The greatest label on earth! I can\u2019t explain to y\u2019all how excited I am to be working with them!\u201d Pedigo shared on Instagram. \u201cCurrently cooking on my next full length album, and I have a lot of exciting things coming. Until then I\u2019m just going to stay stoked about this for the rest of my life! More soon!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sub Pop also announced that Pedigo will host a four-month-long NTS residency titled\u00a0Amarillo Highway With Hayden Pedigo<\/em>\u00a0starting February 25th.<\/p>\n
