Fly My Pretties is a collaborative music project hailing from Aotearoa, New Zealand, known for bringing together a rotating lineup of some of the nation's gifted musicians and songwriters to create unique and dynamic live performances. Conceived by Barnaby Weir, frontman of The Black Seeds, Fly My Pretties debuted in 2004 with a live album "Live at Bats," staging artistic showcases that blend visual art and music. The project is renowned for its approach, where every iteration brings a new theme and roster of artists, leading to a fresh and eclectic sound with each album.

Over the years, Fly My Pretties has evolved with each release, building an impressive discography that dives into various genres such as folk, soul, and the rhythms of New Zealand's rich musical tapestry. Their notable works, including "The Studio Recordings," which split into both Part 1 and Part 2, demonstrate the ensemble's ability to capture the magic of their live performances in a studio setting. This transformation from stage to studio signifies their commitment to creating high-quality sound recordings that reflect their live energy. "String Theory," both the complete show and the album, is another distinguished entry that explores the fabric of the cosmos through music, blending storytelling and melody. With every performance and release, Fly My Pretties continues to enchant their audience, becoming a cherished cultural institution within the New Zealand music scene.
