Fly My Pretties: String Theory

From RNZ Music, 6:00 pm on 12 August 2016

The Barnaby Weir-led collective Fly My Pretties have appeared in many different incarnations since they first performed at Wellington’s Bats Theatre for a five-night run back in 2004.

Those shows were captured for posterity by engineer Dr Lee Prebble for the Fly My Pretties Live at Bats LP – and the good doctor will be behind the boards again for Fly My Pretties forthcoming album. This time, it’ll be culled from the recordings of their latest tour, String Theory, which kicked off at Auckland’s Mercury Theatre last night.

Sam Wicks stops by Fly My Pretties’ Auckland rehearsal room to get a glimpse of the latest show Barnaby and co have assembled.
