The Naked and Famous (NZ) - NME Bands for 2011




One of the many surprises for me that came from a pretty stellar Rhythm and Vines line up was the group The Naked and Famous. This indie rock group hailing from our own land of the long white cloud have only been making tunes together for a couple of years but are already taking the world by storm.

Bursting onto the scene with their single Young Blood last year, a tune bearing similarities to the older style of recent blow outs MGMT, they have moved on quickly from their ARIA silver scroll win last year to the UK's BBC and NME's Bands of 2011 lists. Check out the interview above from NME.com. These guys had an epic gig at Rhythm and Vines on the main stage, whipping the crowd into a frenzy. I only caught the end of them and am pretty guttered to miss the rest now.

These are touring with the Big Day Out throughout January around NZ and Australia before heading back over to the UK. So make sure you check them out.
