Biography

Motley MN, United States

PFR is a Christian rock band from Motley, Minnesota comprised of singer/guitarist Joel Hanson, bassist/singer Patrick Andrew, and drummer Mark Nash. With influences like Crowded House, Jellyfish, and Oasis, they gained quite a following with just a few albums, starting with Pray For Rain in 1992, Goldie’s Last Day in 1993, Great Lengths in 1994, & Them in 1996. They decided to split in 1997, releasing a best-of entitled The Late Great PFR (1997), which hosted a few new tracks along with some of their personal favorites. In 2001, however, they reconnected to record another album, Disappear, with fresh material, and then The Bookhouse Recordings in 2004 which was comprised mainly of older tracks re-recorded and mixed.

    I saw them at their Minneapolis show in January 2012. It was a great time and they released it as a Live album. I'm hoping they'll go out and do more shows and maybe even try to put together another album of new songs. Here's a link to buy the live album: http://pfr.spinshop.com/ Enjoy!

    cor - I'd never heard of them, then they come up on a radio.. Probably because I'm in the UK that I'd missed it. really like this, tho - will look into more ;-)

    Still a joy to listen to years later. These guys are probably one of my favorite bands of all time, along with Audio A.
