Perfect Blue Sky

Andersson and Kitto formed ‘Perfect Blue Sky’ in 2014 with a premier performance at Finland's Puistoblues festival[5] and a live performance on Radio Rock[6] as well as other shows in Sweden. They featured well known US musicians Dave Getz (Drums) and Peter Albin (Bass) of Big Brother and the Holding Company and Danny Oakhill (Keyboards) from Australia to launch the band on both their live shows and the studio recordings.

In April 2015 they went on a second tour in the outback of Australia's Northern Territory[7] with Oakhill and newcomer Allen Murphy (Yothu Yindi, Village People)[8] on drums and performed at the Nightcliff Sea Breeze Festival[9] and the Humpty Doo Hotel as well as made a live appearance on Darwin's ABC radio.

They have since performed in alternative line ups throughout Scandinavia, France and UK together with French drummer Frank Bessard, USA drummer Bil Bryant,[10] Swedish bassist Weine Johansson,[11] French percussionist Stephane Bébert[12] and drummer Frank Bessard as well as a duo.

Their first single Give You My Love was released on 12 May 2017, by UK label Right Recordings/Nova Universal. The single is taken from the album The Eye of Tilos,[13] released on 19 May 2017. The album features Jerry Donahue (guitarist for Fotheringay and Fairport Convention) and drummer Dave Getz (Big Brother and the Holding Company). Also in the line-up is Frenchman Frank Bessard (Mr. lab!, Joe Satriani, Stanley Clarke) on drums, Australian keyboardist Danny Oakhill and British viola player Lewis Parsons.

Perfect Blue Sky completed their first UK live radio tour including BBC Essex,[14] BBC Oxford,[15] BBC Lancashire,[16] Metro Radio, Total Rock Radio and Phoenix FM[17] in May 2017.

Astronaut the band's follow up single for 2017 was released on October 20 and well received onto various UK radio playlists and supported by acoustic duo's mini tour in November. Perfect Blue Sky appeared once again live on various radio programmes; BBC Bristol,[18] BBC Cumbria,[19] BBC Merseyside,[20] BBC Humberside[21] and BBC Lancashire[22] and made an interview and performance for the Children in Need 2017 campaign with BBC Lancashire presenter John Gillmore hosted by Roseacre Primary Academy.[23] Perfect Blue Sky also made live appearances with MBE Alan Robson on his ‘NightOwls’ programme at Metro Radio in Newcastle as well as 103 The Eye – Mowbray & Phoenix FM - Essex.[24] Whilst on tour, they supported e.g. John O'Leary (Savoy Brown) and SugarKane. Whilst on tour November 2017, Andersson and Kitto also joined alongside UK representative Darren Weale of Pro Music Agency and consequently moved their base to UK.

In Dec 2017 Perfect Blue Sky supported Swedish rock band Sator at Söder Teatern in Stockholm Sweden[25] and in March 2018, they toured throughout Finland with yet another constellation of the band's line up; this time with Marko Ahonen on drums and Salomon Kosunen on keyboards via Finnish booking agency Gogo Rodeo.[26] In May PBS performed with the band's main drummer Frank Bessard at the Mailaul Festival Tartu, Estonia.[27] During the festival they also hosted a series of workshops at Heino Eller Tartu Music College. Perfect Blue Sky released three singles consecutively 2018 Fiction man, Wasteland and Winds Ransom from their album The Eye of Tilos.

Andersson and Kitto relocated to the south west of England in Newquay, Cornwall during 2019 after having felt inspired by the Atlantic coast and its vibrant music culture. Perfect Blue Sky’s British line-up features James Frost on drums and bassist Jon Middleton. During early 2020 with the on-set of Covid 19, most of the band’s performances had been cancelled until 2021. In the meantime, the duo have kept up their music presence making occasional on-line acoustic appearances, song projects, recording and creating music videos in the staircase of their apartment block. As a result, Perfect Blue Sky’s 1st single/video Oh Pretty One was released in June, 2020 and distributed via Record Union.
