the NAKED and FAMOUS for 2011! dancey new zealand goodness

[daftmau5]

i've been exploring aussie/NZ music a lot recently and i think this group would be fun to watch.

very danceable and melodic, offering simple drum patterns & synths, but (and this is important) without attracting a significant douche contingent. their lyrics are also more thoughtful than most dance/pop bands i'm aware of.

here is dekade's remix of their song 'young blood'



here's another single



and another for good measure




don't know if they've got enough of a following for next year, but i'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

Just listening to this band for the first time. Fucking love it.

Weird, Dreamy, Industrial, Pretty, Spacey, Glam, Pop... Yeah, it's true. Only way to explain it.

indeud. really hope GV reads this and considers them. they'd be perfect for coachella.

[loopy]

yes yes yes. love them. I couldn't get "all of this" out of my head for days -- would be a great set opener. love "girls like you" too.

[Chromezeppelin]

can't wait,going to see them on the 23rd at the echoplex with midnight juggernauts

[mistakenstrangers]

seen them live and worked with them a handful of times, they're such nice people, i'll find out if they are booked or not, the lead girl is good friends with one of my friends.

They're signed to the Windish Agency for bookings in the US so have a good possibility of happening at Coachella...

[fiopadp7791]

Listening to them through their myspace page. Thanks for the "heads up" guys. Me likey.

Going to the show at the Echoplex tomorrow with attily! The album is a lot of fun and I am excited to see it live.

[paulb]

Cant wait, will see u and Attila there!

[shotglass75]

New video. Make it happen Goldenvoice.

[paulb]

Girls Like You was a monster live!!! Such a promising act! They will be a Coachella, I cant see Paul T being that behind the game on these guys...

[mistakenstrangers]

well with the booking agency being The Windish Agency in the US and their booking agent being Tom Windish himself, very probable chance. Will be right up there at the front, so proud of these guys.

[synth-drop]

i would kill to see them at coachella.

[heyeric]

fully support. they were incredible at the echo last month. flawless live!

[Chromezeppelin]
