Naked And Famous, The
Jan 24, 2011
Already a #1 smash in their native New Zealand, The Naked And Famous are setting their sites on the U.S . and gearing up to release their debut album "Passive Me, Aggressive You" on March 15th via Universal/Republic records.
Coming together in 2008, Thom Powers and Alisa Xayalith met at music college and formed a songwriting partnership that would become the life force of TNAF.
Aaron Short, soon became a production foil to the duo as they toyed with song and recording ideas. These eventually became TNAF's first releases, the twin EPs "No Light" and "This Machine."
Soon after Jesse Wood and David Beadle, joined the band and completed the final lineup. Working furiously throughout 2009 on developing a new live set and dozens of demos, TNAF embarked on an expansion of their sound, as together they experimented with the epic turns and cinematic moods that define them today.
The band's debut single "Young Blood" impacts Alternative on January 25th.
The Naked And The Famous are playing at The Big Day Out Music Festival followed by the NME Awards Show in February. They will begin a U.S. Tour in April.
