The Pretty Blue Guns have been grinding grit and bone together and spent a decent amount of years cutting their milk teeth on the grime of their own hard labour – and it has paid off. In the last year or so, this self-made quartet of friends and musicians has excelled at a number of festivals and venues around South Africa, garnering reverence and applause wherever they perform.
Their highly energetic set has taken them to the big open-air stages and enthusiastic crowds of The Kirstenbosch Summer Series, Oppikoppi Easter, Up The Creek Festival, Volume Festival, ABSA KKNK Festival, MK Avontoer and RAMfest, while smaller gig venues such as The Assembly, Klein Libertas Teater and The Waiting Room have all played host to both electric and impeccable acoustic sets. The music has found its way onto high-rotation playlists from radio stations such as MFM 92.6 and TuksFM to media-released compilations by the likes of One Small Seed, Rhythm Records, Blunt Magazine, MK Bruce Lee and SL
Magazine.
Recorded by Jurgen Von Wechmar at Sunset Studios earlier this year and produced by the multi award-winning Schalk Joubert, ‘Cutting Heads’ honestly portrays the raw, passionate and intense sound that people have grown to love the Guns for, while still having the recording and production value of an international release.
