Pretty Mary Sunshine

Pretty Mary Sunshine

Pretty Mary Sunshine was a band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1994.

Almost as quickly as they were formed, they were signed to A&M Records. Instead of unifying the five piece, being signed to a major record label seemed to hasten their disintegration. PMS was contracted to produce two albums for A&M Records but they only "officially" released one. What was intended to be their first album was recorded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and [Record producer|in Oklahoma. And the musical arrangements are virtually identical. The band supported the release of this new album with a tour of the United States in 1995.

Kurt and Patrice went on to form Frownland with the original drummer, Pam Barger, Paul Hutzler and replacement bass guitar player, Sean Wheatley, of Pretty Mary Sunshine. Joe Howard, aka Joe Skyward, went on to join the Posies. Jerry O'Neill went on to record some solo material and then seemingly dropped out of the music world entirely.

The only song from the ill-fated "Oklahoma sessions" that A&M Records released, was "Can I Stay?" (featured in the cult movie soundtrack of S.F.W.). In an attempt to market Pretty Mary Sunshine as an indie-rock band, A&M Records also released two previously recorded tracks from the band's demo tape recorded at the Electric Eel Studio, in Seattle. The band broke-up in early 1996, after being dropped by A&M Records after A&M was bought out by a major liquor company.
