Please the Trees, Annie Girl and the Flight

Humboldt Brews

Please The Trees (PTT) have been following intuitively the trail of inspiration for over eight years now, playing dozens of shows every year internationally. Originally from the forests of a mountainous region in East Bohemia, lead singer and songwriter Vaclav Havelka III has for some years been one of the most active figures on Prague’s independent music scene. Alongside performing with PTT, solo and with different projects as Were Mute and Vac da Hawk, he has written music for several theater productions (including a staged version of Lars von Trier’s Dogville at the Estates Theater), screen music for motion picture Mista (with David Boulter of Tindersticks), hosts his own show on Radio Wave station, and – as part of the promotion company Scrape Sound – brings leading international alternative bands and artists, to Czechoslovakia. Most recently PTT supported Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifter for their Czech dates in 2015

Past tours of hundreds of shows included Europe, UK, USA and Israel. Former LA Times music editor says about the band’s performance at the Taix club, Los Angeles during the Culture Collide Festival, the band played during their second US tour, buzzbands.la 

The Czech band’s indomitable and deep-seated spirit of adventure and keen desire to place themselves firmly in the context of the international music scene led them all the way from Prague to California to make a their third record A Forest Affair produced by Jonathan Burnside (Gary Floyd Band, Sleepy Jackson, Melvins, Helios Creed, Consolidated) for which the band receivedCzech Grammy award for the best alternative record. On their latest album was recorded and mixed by Chris Koltay (Liars, Women, Deerhunter, Holy Fuck, No Age, The War On Drugs, Akron/Family) at High Bias Recordings, Detroit.

BEYOND THE MUSIC: Please The Trees’ planting trees project

After spending time with a gardener friend John Reynolds in New York (who has been secretly planting trees around town), the band get’s inspired and starts planting a tree in every city where they perform. Each tree planting is photographed and documented, then posted on Facebook profile of the project.
