The Children's Hour is a folk-rock duo comprised of <a href="spotify:artist:1fVyf1LbeIEE4DUT4dZhHL">Josephine Foster</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:39YvoTb5qQYoH0hfP9jD21">Andy Bar</a>. The two have been honing a refined, passionate indie rock style since mid-2002 when a mutual friend introduced <a href="spotify:artist:1fVyf1LbeIEE4DUT4dZhHL">Foster</a>, an opera school dropout from Colorado, to <a href="spotify:artist:39YvoTb5qQYoH0hfP9jD21">Bar</a>, an Art Institute of Chicago graduate from Cleveland. They played with the indie rock trio Golden Egg for a short time, but opted to do things their way. They took their name, the Children's Hour, from a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem and played clubs in and around the suburbs of Chicago that summer. Within a few months, <a href="spotify:artist:1fVyf1LbeIEE4DUT4dZhHL">Foster</a> planned to move to Portland to escape city life. Luckily, a chance meeting with Minty Fresh owner Jim Powers kept her from doing so. The Children's Hour recorded a self-titled EP at St. Gregory's Church and <a href="spotify:artist:44KDKGSCSBGEY4NPEJ1P2H">Zwan</a> man <a href="spotify:artist:12B5JK11NOP7OQ9Fxjrpx2">Billy Corgan</a> got a hold of it. <a href="spotify:artist:12B5JK11NOP7OQ9Fxjrpx2">Corgan</a> was so impressed with the band's bittersweet, spry sound, he had the Children's Hour open for <a href="spotify:artist:44KDKGSCSBGEY4NPEJ1P2H">Zwan</a> on their first American tour. John Peel even caught buzz and featured them on BBC Radio One before Christmas. In May 2003, the Children's Hour made their full-length debut with SOS JFK. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
