The Naked & Famous

The Naked and Famous are a New Zealand post-punk revival band from Auckland.  They reached the end of a remarkable two years last summer, finally leaving the road having completed a 250 gig campaign reaching 24 countries in support of their debut album Passive Me Aggressive You.

The journey began with the release of the single “Young Blood” in their home country of New Zealand in June 2010. The delirious hit went straight to the top of the NZ charts and has gone on to be viewed over 20 million times on Vevo and You Tube.  It is now certified Gold in the U.S. and Canada and Platinum in Australia and New Zealand.

TNAF have built an ever-growing audience around the globe for their pulverizing live shows, a blend of the pure pop exhilaration of the hit singles “Young Blood” and “Punching In A Dream” with the thrilling dark electronic arts that drive the group’s sound.

In between sell-out tours of Europe, the USA and UK, the band took away a record-breaking haul of eight NZ Music Awards, including the big prizes of Best Album for Passive Me Aggressive You, Single for “Young Blood” and Best Group.

They add these to the NME Radar Award collected in February 2011 and the Silver Scroll songwriting prize already won in 2010 for “Young Blood”, the song that saw TNAF explode onto the world stage and airwaves. The group’s masterfully melodic blend of rock and electronic elements fronted by the boy-girl vocals of Thom Powers and Alisa Xayalith has made them a festival hit.  The self-produced Passive Me Aggressive You received glowing four-star reviews in Uncut and Mojo and many other publications. NME’s 8/10 review called it a ‘glorious melting pot of pop perfection’, saying that the band’s ‘passive melodicism and aggressive innovation clash in a dazzling blaze of psych/sonic fireworks’.

These five young New Zealanders have at their disposal a seemingly effortless ability to capture the giddy fun and relentless hooks one has come to expect from the very best electro-pop, while at the same time striving for something grander, more brooding and atmospheric.

Their achievements to date already mark this New Zealand band as an exciting one in the new generation of electronic rock acts. A young group of warped sound merchants making do-or-die, heart-in-mouth, chart-bound pop to invest your heart and soul in, they’ve taken their meteoric rise and the workload of hundreds of gigs and relentless touring that goes with it in their stride.

Passionate about their music and connected to their equally fervent legions of fans, The Naked And Famous are very much not the emperor’s new clothes, they’re something special indeed.

The Naked And Famous are:
Aaron Short – keyboards, vocals
Alisa Xayalith – vocals, keyboards
David Beadle – bass, keyboards, vocals
Jesse Wood – drums
Thom Powers – vocals, guitar

A Night of Poetry and Art at the Collection Gallery

     Aurora, CO: On Tuesday, May 28th, 6:00-8:00 p.m. New America High School students will be exhibiting original photography at the Collection Gallery and poetry across the street in Fletcher Plaza. The exhibit is the culminating event of a project that encouraged students to explore how peoples’ perspectives shape their interpretation of events. Students explored events of both historical and personal significance.

 

    To kick off the night’s festivities, students will present their original work during an outdoor open mic. The students’ writing explores various topics related to the Civil Rights Movement. Each student researched a historical event and wrote about the event from three different perspectives. As they explored the various perspectives through which Americans viewed, and continue to view, issues of race and discrimination, students encountered many strong emotions. They found that honestly exploring these issues is often uncomfortable and controversial. By dissecting the reality of racism in American history, students began the process of facing our history and becoming agents for change in the present.

 

    Students were also charged with exploring a modern day topic, which they find important and interesting. Each individual chose a unique topic and has created a photo essay that communicates his or her own perspective of this topic. Students were challenged to use everyday technology to capture their photos, including cell phones and low-tech digital cameras. By doing so, students have explored the ways low cost consumer technology can be used to create compelling pieces of art.

 

    The New America School is a system of publicly funded charter high schools. The mission of The New America School is to empower new immigrants, English language learners, and academically under-served students with the educational tools and support they need to maximize their potential, succeed and live the American dream.

 

    If you would like more information on this event or New America High School, please contact Diana Myers at dmyers@newamericaschool.org or 720-261-7543.
