| 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.
