The Naked And Famous

If you have not done so already, you should definitely check out this band.

The Naked And Famous are an indie rock band from New Zealand, and are similar to bands The Joy Formidable, Foster The People and Passion Pit. So far The Naked And Famous have only released one album 'Passive Me, Aggressive You," which includes the hit singles "Young Blood" and "Punching In A Dream."

Reviews for this band have so far been great. The lead singer Alisa Xayalith proves herself with exuberant and energetic performances, which when combined with her strong vocals makes it clear how this band can continually deliver a great show. This band have the ability to work the entire room so that by the end of their shows the crowds are either singing, dancing, clapping and/or cheering.

Although The Naked And Famous has only really achieved success in NZ, this is surely soon to change as they release more material and tour around the world more. I would therefore urge you all to give this band a go and go and see them live. 

I was fortunate enough to see them live in NYC. For my review check out: http://musicgigsnfestivals.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/naked-and-famous-review.html

Kasabian

This is a great band.

Kasabian are an english rock band from Leicester. To date they have released four albums "Kasabian," "Empire" "West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum" and the recent "Velociraptor!"

Although Kasabian's recently released album Velociraptor! failed to make the Billboard Top 200 charts in the US it has proven to be very successful in the UK. This band has huge support all over the UK and have over the years won a number of awards including a Brit Award, a Mojo Award and several NME and Q awards.

This band oozes coolness and attitude, and you certainly wont be forgetting their live performance in a hurry.   Kasabian are reported to have "mastered the live circuit"and no one can disagree when seeing these five rockers onstage. Their confidence, energy and complete control over the crowd combine to deliver one exceptional live performance.

For their NYE gig Serge and Tom made everyone in the crowd get on their knees when it came to performing their number 1 hit single "Fire." When the song reached the chorus "I'm on fire!" the effect was on of utter frenzy - every single person jumped up and went abolsuterly wild - singing, dancing and generally just having an absolute blast.

Tour dates:
22nd March. Terminal 5 - NYC
