Biography
US band from Marshalltown, Iowa, active in early 70s. Phafner was formed in 1969, and immediately attracted local attention by playing a hard-edged, drug-induced brand of rock & roll. The band consisted of two sets of brothers -- Dale Shultz on guitars and vocals, James Shultz on bass, Steve Smith on lead guitar, and Greg Smith on vocals -- along with Steven Gustafson on drums. In 1971, the band decided to record an album of their own original material, so they got together in a local basement studio and put six songs together for what became their sole album. In order to attract some attention from a major label, they pressed 50 copies of the record (on the Dragon label). "Overdrive", issued in 1972, has become legendary among collectors of hard-rock music, and a copy of the original album will fetch well over $3,000 on today's collectors market. Clocking in at just over 25 minutes, it features great, blues-influenced hard rock with loads of fuzz guitar, in the style of such artists as [a1346515] or early [a254198].
