Quite possibly the best Auckland band you've never heard (yet), The Naked and Famous are based around the ferociously talented pairing of composer / control freak Thom Powers and vocal siren / lyricist Alisa Xayalith, though they operate as a 4 piece live.
"Finally. A young New Zealand band so brilliant, so thrilling, so daring and delicious that I want to write their name in big red letters on my pencil case..."
The outfit who have got Sunday Star Times writer Grant Smithies heading back to the classroom and breaking out 5 out of 5 stars are Auckland's rapidly ascending, The Naked and Famous.
Named after a line from a Tricky song, The Naked And Famous are based around the ferociously talented pairing of composer / control freak Thom Powers and vocal siren / lyricist Alisa Xayalith, though they operate as a 4 piece live.
A truly astonishing debut, 'This Machine' features the bittersweet, twisted pop gem "Serenade" which has smashed the Radioscope National Alternative Chart (taking out the top spot for four weeks,) and its gritty successor "Kill the Little Black Dots" alongside four other future favourites.
"This EP is freaking awesome and I find myself hitting repeat all too often!"
