SINGLE OF THE WEEK PART 1! CocknBullKid - 'Hold On To Your Misery' (Moshi Moshi) This is a pop revelation, downloaders. It's a bit Cee-Lo Green, a bit Janelle Monae, a bit Lily Allen and a bit Raveonettes for good measure. Spring is in the air, and this single flutters like a butterfly. The chorus is what musicologists would no doubt call "a bit of a stomper" while the verses float hard-bitten wisdom ("What am I owed but certain death?/ It seems there's nothing more and there's nothing [...]

About half way through their set frontman Thom Powers of The Naked And Famous , ahem, fame states his wonder at the packed Button Factory that stand before him . “The album isn’t even released yet, and a sold out show...” he cries in what sounds like bewilderment (but given his posturing thus far, could be tres faux). But when your lowly hack puts it through his own processor he can see where the immaculately quiffed young man from New Zeland is coming from – Dublin is a long way from Auckland - it makes one wonder at the [...]
the naked & famous - punching in a dream [new zealanders the naked and famous are currently garnering positive raves over in the UK with their european tour (they even picked up an nme award!). i fell in love with this track last year and here is the official video for the song (which kind of reminds me of a female fronted passion pit). can't wait to see them on our side of the pond!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
They’ve been awarded the Philip Hall NME Radar Award and were one of the bands picked by the BBC as a Sound of 2011 , and we were lucky enough to get to speak to them on their whistle-stop visit to Ireland. The Clink talks music, philosophy and some nonsense with one of the bands of the moment, The Naked And Famous . [...]
jessie j - young blood ( the naked and famous cover) (live @ bbc radio 1 live lounge) [amaaaazing! that's all i have to say!] just in case you can't watch the video, check out the audio below: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
After a few Saturday night sherbets at The Naked and Famous gig, (which was excellent by the way: More of that in the next couple of days), I've had that 'I need some sweets' feeling today. That train of thought put this John Grant tune in my head. It's basically a song about a sweet shop. Listen to this and in no time at all you'll be heading out to your local confectioner for a sugary hit. It just so happens it's a pretty chilled out track, and suitable for a Sunday Supplement. Enjoy, and does [...]
I love one of Auckland’s biggest exports, The Naked & Famous. I love the duo that is Chiddy Bang. I also happen to love stellar remixes. Now take my favourites, mix them together and you’ll have yourself Chiddy Bang’s remix of ‘Young Blood’. It’s more of a mashup rather, keeping all that is indie with the synth-pop sound that is The Naked & Famous and with a dash of Chiddy Bang’s fun and funky sound. I stumbled upon this late last year and have had it on rotation since. It’s the best of both. [...]

We all now know Jessie J's powerful voice and her latest single Price Tag ...but what happens when Jessie tackles The Naked And Famous's song Young Blood? Magic; magic I tell you. On a recent BBC Radio 1 session, the UK songstress put her own little twist on the track. Listen to it here: A MA ZING
This laid back Kiwi quintet, who seem to be getting bigger by the day, play The Button Factory tomorrow night. So it's only right you get a wee taster. Here you go: The Naked And Famous - Girls Like You . Enjoy the squelchy super anthemic electro-poptastisity! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHC8vu BU9rg (My mother warned me about) Girls Like You
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive , Q + A Shamil Tanna When singer-guitarist Thom Powers and synth player Aaron Short starting working on demos back in 2006 and 2007, they had no idea those recordings would lead to a full-fledged musical project. Eventually, they enlisted two high school friends -- bassist David Beadle and drummer Jesse Wood -- and recruited singer-keyboardist Alissa Xayalith, completing the lineup for their curiously named band, the Naked [...]

![LISTEN :: The Naked And Famous – “Young Blood” [Dave Sitek REMIX]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3247659_lg.jpg)
One might think that with an upcoming release from TV on the Radio , Dave Sitek would be busy enough. Apparently, this is not the case, as he released another remix, which features The Naked and Famous single "Young Blood."

Seems as if I'm still dealing with technical problems on indie music filter. Â You'll notice a hell of a bunch of my posts include weird characters (ie. a question mark in a black diamond), which I think I know how to fix. Â Also, last weeks issues made my twitter feed go nuts. Â Sorry if it looked like I was being overly keen on new music, I didn't mean to clog anyone's stream. Â In the meantime, here's a whack of different things I'm into online. -As part of Giant System Chicago , here's a band called Golden [...]
