We're excited to announce the release of The Studio Recordings Part Two from Fly My Pretties this May! Stream the first taste, 'The Watchman', right now!
The Studio Recordings Part Two presents more of the fruits of the first studio sessions in their 15 year history. Recorded over 12 months with 25 total contributors, Part Two in the series sees Fly My Pretties dipping further into their back catalogue, with new versions of tracks from a wide range of contributors. Tracks originally only performed and recorded live in front of an audience and released as live recordings, recorded in studio for the first time.
Part Two sees frontman Barnaby Weir (The Black Seeds) performing alongside members of the Fly My Pretties whānau such as Anna Coddington, Bailey Wiley, A Girl Named Mo, Eva Prowse, Hollie Smith, Lisa Tomlins, Age Pryor, Iraia Whakamoe (The Nudge), James Coyle (The Nudge), Jarney Murphy (The Black Seeds), Laughton Kora, Mike Fabulous (Lord Echo), Nigel Patterson (The Black Seeds), Ryan Prebble (The Nudge), & others all contributing their talents.
The second installment of Studio Recordings features a number of classic tracks from frontman Barnaby Weir, alongside tracks lead by some of the stunning wāhine Fly My Pretties have had the honour of highlighting throughout the years. The album’s unique sound represents the unique nature of Fly My Pretties - travelling effortlessly across soul, blues, folk and dub.
The release comes as Fly My Pretties prepare for their only theatre shows for 2020 in May celebrating the release of Part Two. Theatres in Auckland, Wellington & Christchurch will see tracks from The Studio Recordings performed live by the largest cast in FMP history, alongside an enhanced visual backdrop.
