ThePousette-Dart Band ([poo-sette];PDB) was an Americansoft rock group active in the 1970s and early 1980s. Conceived in 1973 as astring band fromCambridge, Massachusetts, PDB comprised Jon Pousette-Dart, John Troy and John Curtis. With a shift to a more commercially oriented sound and a steady succession of additional personnel, the group went on to record a series of four albums for their labelCapitol Records, two of which (Amnesia andPousette-Dart Band 3) made theBillboard album chart. Their single "For Love" reached #83 on theBillboard singles chart.[1]
Although the band formally broke up in 1981, members reunited in 1991 for a series of concerts, and a "Best Of" album was released in 1994. Since then, collaborations among various former personnel have continued, with original members Pousette-Dart and Troy also launching solo careers.
The song "Fall on Me" from the band's second albumAmnesia was featured in the 11th episode of the second season ofLost.[2]
