  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. Naked Strangers have toured with Mumford and Sons and General Fiasco ; supported Hazey Janes, and played all over Scotland - from Wick to Dundee and Stornoway to Aberdeen. And then there's the festivals - Rockness, Belladrum and Loopallu festivals. Two EPs later they are still on the move.... The Latest E.P. - Socail Lubricant, is a further insight into the workings of a Rock n Roll band reaching a creative high. The E.P. features 3 songs all of which showcase why this band has to be one of Scotland's future leading lights. This does not sound like anything else.... it jumps out at you and shows you that the future is bright and if you want to be Naked...we dig! So - come closer, come closer - there are treats inside and they wriggle deliciously.... <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-iEA5NkdbZ8?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-iEA5NkdbZ8?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. The Naked Strangers; Filthy huns! Breeding like common rats and spreading North, South, East and West. Listen to the roar of the Rock n Roll. You will hear it in the distance like thunder. And then, wafting in on the breeze, will come the scent of dried blood, semen and human greese...the noise will grow louder and then they will appear, on the west horizon, eyes bugged and bloodshot, foam on their lips, chewing some rooty essence smuggled in from a foreign jungle...they will ravish your women, loot your liquor stores and humiliate your mayor on a bench on the village square. (From the writings of The Reverend Lou Sharkey circa 1763 before rebirth)

Who We Is

Brought together out of the smoking ruins and dismembered limbs of other bands, Naked Strangers have come together to stalk the Highlands with the fearsomeness of their toothy grins. Theirs is an accomplished noise and its echoes are beginning to reverberate in the further and further fields of Scotland. In the past year, they have toured with Mumford and Sons and General Fiasco ; supported Hazey Janes, Our Lunar Activities and Bombscare and they walked away unscathed. During the summer, their songs rocked the tents at Rockness, Belladrum and Loopallu festivals - and in amongst this, good friends, they have even managed to record the EP 'Concrete Carnival' - available to all your good selves through this site should you desire a little digital slice of the future. A live ep might also be imminent..... So - come see, come see - there are treats inside and they wriggle deliciously....
The Naked Strangers; Filthy huns! Breeding like common rats and spreading North, South, East and West. Listen to the roar of the Rock n Roll. You will hear it in the distance like thunder. And then, wafting in on the breeze, will come the scent of dried blood, semen and human greese...the noise will grow louder and then they will appear, on the west horizon, eyes bugged and bloodshot, foam on their lips, chewing some rooty essence smuggled in from a foreign jungle...they will ravish your women, loot your liquor stores and humiliate your mayor on a bench on the village square.
