About Pretty Boy Thorson & The Falling Angels:
"Because this has never been just one story, but many disappointed lives."
After some fond farewells and a quiet moment, Pretty Boy Thorson returns for their third full length album, "An Uneasy Peace,"featuring the same formula of old friends and bad habits they've been using for the last eight years.
"Well, we got the band back together. few years back ol' Dan moved out to Portland on a dare or a treasure hunt, I don't remember." says front-man Jesse Thorson, "But we thought we lost him. He came back cause he missed us and we played a few shows to see if we still could play. We got too drunk to tell. So we wrote a record instead and tried something new this time. We wrote these songs together, practiced before we went into the studio, it worked out nice. We started in 2005 on a drunken boast, eight years later we have our best record yet. Aged. Mellowed. Whisky."
Jesse Thorson formed Pretty Boy Thorson in Minneapolis, MN with Dan Johnson in 2005. They initially formed to play one show in Fargo, ND for a festival their friend was setting up, found a rhythm section and started playing shows more regularly. The band released their first self titled 7 " in 2005 on The Party's Over records from Seattle. The rhythm section quit so Thorson took over on bass and Casey Raub joined on drums in 2006. They self released their first full length "Ain't it Funny...".later re-released by A.D.D. Records. Dave Strait and Matt Englestad joined the band which went on to tour the u.s. three times, and in 2008 followed it up with their second record "Take it Easy..." also on A.D.D.
The band went on to release over a dozen 7-inches on multiple labels "...too many to name." remembers Thorson. "We broke up in 2010 due to Casey and Dan moving to Brooklyn and Portland, OR respectively. Me and Dave started The Slow Death, more of a straight ahead punk band. In 2011 Dan moved back and we played a one off reunion show, we all got too drunk to remember playing so we booked another one. We had fun so we decided to get back together and make another record. We decided to make a more mellow country record. We spent six months writing together, and working on the tunes whereas I had written most everything in advance and we just learned them, this time we arranged everything as a band. We took a lot of time making this record, and now it is done."
