Pray for Rain is an American music production company and recording group based in San Francisco, California. Led by St. Louis musician Dan Wool, the ensemble originated as a performing post-punk band active during the 1980s and 1990s. The group achieved a significant professional transition after scoring the 1986 film Sid and Nancy, which established them as a soundtrack collective. Wool and his collaborators went on to compose scores for several films directed by Alex Cox, including Straight to Hell, The Winner, Death and the Compass, and Three Businessmen. Their extensive credits also include the 1998 David Schwimmer film Since You've Been Gone, the 1998 production Standoff, and the television series Key West. In 1992, the group protected its name through a legal threat against a Christian rock group of the same name, which subsequently rebranded as PFR. Past members of the collective include Gary Brown, Paul Trupin, and James Woody.
