Pray TV Part 3

Starting Dec. 13 last year I featured All India Radio & Martin Kennedy related posts for the Twelve Days of Yule & onward to the months end. On Dec. 30 I shared Horizontal Life by Pray TV, the band Martin played guitar in prior to forming All India Radio.

Pray TV Part 2 -

In a comment on that post,  fellow blogger viacomclosedmedown on youtube requested more Pray TV. 

I followed up with Swingers Paradise. At the time I sez I may be posting more Pray TV soon (March). Well, now it's May & I'm finally getting back to it.

Connect the Dots

In the 1990s there was a mighty rock unit called Pray TV in that land down under. By 1997, however, Pray TV was starting to wane. Then the band's driving force & principal songwriter, guitarist Martin Kennedy declared he wanted to move on from Pray TV.

As we know, Martin Kennedy embarked on his All India Radio project.  Pray TV singer Aidan Halloran concedes music was never an obsession in his life, & after Pray TV broke he steered clear of any new musical projects.  

In 2014 a Pray TV reunion benefit gig was organised for a friend of the band to raise money for cardiac treatment.  Sadly, the friend passed away & the gig never happened. But the flame was rekindled. Pray TV reformed for a one-off gig at the Yarra Hotel in January 2015.  Kennedy then surprised Halloran by saying he had some songs that would fit on a new Pray TV album.

And so Pray TV recorded Horizontal Life, the band's first album in nearly 20 years. 

 

Pray TV - Horizontal Life, Pray TV self released PRAYTV001, 2016.
