The Naked and Famous are nineties kids; invigorated by the era’s golden age of alternative-rock, their sound is fully loaded electro rock, sharing a lineage to the synth-heavy bands of their peers, MGMT and Passion Pit. Their latest album, Simple Forms, still features the razor synths with skyscraper vocals and continues to showcase their finely polished, self-produced sound. “My production idea in The Naked and Famous has always been to set the insularity of our songwriting in a space where intimacy and explosive excitement can bring tension and release… To me, that is what contemporary pop should be. Our ambition is that this music be noticed and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved in the studio.” Tom Powers - guitarist/vocalist/producer A seasoned touring band, don’t miss The Naked and Famous in these special two intimate shows. “The band are so polished while retaining a certain charm and charisma that only come from a true love of performing.” AU Review, 2014 METRO THEATRE, SYDNEY SATURDAY JANUARY 7 170 RUSSELL, MELBOURNE SUNDAY JANUARY 8 TICKETS ON SALE 2PM THURSDAY OCTOBER 27 My Live Nation pre-sale: 3pm October 26 until 12pm October 27 For complete tour and ticket information, visit: thenakedandfamous.com & livenation.com.au About Live Nation Entertainment Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV) is the world’s leading live entertainment company comprised of global market leaders: Ticketmaster, Live Nation Concerts, Live Nation Media & Sponsorship and Artist Nation Management.
