Prettygirlhatemachine was born in 2005 to MathYouSwift, who at the time had a discomforting fascination with guns and violence as a member of the group High Kaliber. Shortly after, DJ J Fresh joined the crew on turntables, adding his abilities to MathYou’s unique style of lyricism. The project went on a multiple year hiatus until late 2008, when DugLessEpic was added to the mix, producing and contributing to a badly recorded EP that was released in limited numbers in early 2009.
After taking some time to gather their thoughts and write extensively, they got together in the Fall of 2009 to record, mix, and master a full length album in just two weeks, hence the original title Two Week Vacation. The title was eventually scrapped, and it remained self titled. The album was produced in its entirety by douglessepic, and received well by it’s audience. It deals with multiple subject matters, the most recurrent being drugs, alcohol, women, and intolerance for lame music. It is currently available for free exclusively through the artists.
Although only having one performance scheduled for 2009, it is highly anticipated by fans of the group. They plan to tour the Midwest and California in 2010. As to speculation of the name being a reference to the 1989 NIN album “Pretty Hate Machine”, MathYouSwift has said, ” I honestly had no idea that NIN had an album with such a similar title.” douglessepic said, ” Who cares? It’s just a name.” on the subject.
