Auckland, New Zealand (2008 – present)

The Naked and Famous are a five piece band hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. The band comprises of Thom Powers, Alisa Xayalith, Aaron Short, David Beadle and Jesse Wood. According to the Young Blood Songfacts, they took the name from a line in UK trip hop singer-songwriter Tricky’s track, Tricky Kid.

After their initial formation in 2008, their debut album “Passive Me, Aggressive You” was released on the “Somewhat Damaged” label during September 2010. The single “Young Blood” debuted at number one on the New Zealand chart - the first New Zealand artist to do so in three years.

Their debut album along with various singles can be downloaded from www.thenakedandfamous.com
On 6 December 2010, the BBC announced that The Naked And Famous had been nominated for the BBC’s Sound of 2011 poll.

  • brownieboy

    When i listen to the track "The Ends", i can't help but also hear in my head "Pretty Green Eyes" by Force & Styles/Ultrabeat. Could be used for an awesome remix.
