The Naked and Famous play Bangkok’s Moonstar Studio on 17 January and are “set to electrify Thai audiences with alternative pop and rock songs, including Young Blood and Punching in a Dream.” “The quintet comprises Aaron Short (keys), David Beadle (bass), Jesse Wood (drums), Thom Powers (vocals, guitars), and Alisa Xayalith (vocals, keys),” the Bangkok Post explains. After their debut album Passive Me, Aggressive You, released in 2010, the group has enjoyed an unprecedented level of success. Last year, the band garnered numerous awards and nominations, including the BBC’s Sound of 2011.”
