Video: The Naked And Famous - Punching In A Dream

Never believe the hype unless you’re a sucker. Hype only exists for bands that are merely trendy and not necessarily talented. They are a band of the moment and nothing else. Luckily for us, one highly publicized band doesn’t fall into that category. They are the hottest band to emerge from New Zealand since Flight of the Conchords (Okay, they are a comedy duo, but music is a huge part of their act so cut me some slack, gosh). After releasing two EPs, This Machine and No Light, The Naked and Famous released their debut album Passive Me, Aggressive [...]

STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JICKS, TY SEGALL ( Crystal Ballroom , 1332 W Burnside) Following last year's welcome Pavement reunion, Stephen Malkmus and his merry band of Jicks have treated us to a sparkling, Beck-produced album of great new songs.

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 [...]

There is something special about bands that wear their proverbial hearts on their sleeves. The Naked And Famous do so with a mixture of brooding guitars and keyboards, pulsing synth-style beats and a nice mix of male and female vocals. The group, who hails from New Zealand, builds up emotion and tension with the greatest [...]

Hailing from New Zealand they are David Beadle, Thom Powers, Aaron Short, Jesse Wood and Alisa Xayalith. This track were bringing you hit number 1 in the New Zealand charts this year and were expecting it to do pretty damn OK here too. 'Young Blood' most definitely comes at the right time for [...]
