About
The Nude Party, a well-oiled love machine of choogling rock‘n roll, have pulled back into the station with their fourth album Look Who’s Back.
They got their start ripping through basement house shows at their small college in Boone, North Carolina, then ditched class to play SXSW and go on DIY tours across America with their raucous brand of swingin’ 60’s garage rock. The band moved to New York, played a summer residency at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right, signed a record deal, and embarked on multiple world tours and festival runs.
Their previous studio albums are The Nude Party (2018) and Midnight Manor (2020). In the wake of the pandemic they built a studio in the Catskills to record Rides On (2023), exploring stripped-down country, electro pop, and other styles.
After a three-album deal with New West Records concluded, they returned to their DIY roots. Back in 2013 they tracked their first EP Hot Tub live in a ragtag basement studio in Asheville, NC. For Look Who’s Back they recorded in Joshua Tree, California, in Michael Rault’s living room studio.
Look Who’s Back took shape in a homegrown, late-night party atmosphere — playfully debaucherous sessions ran late into the night, the room as crowded with mics, cables, and recording equipment as it was with friends, pizza boxes, and beer cans. The joy on the record is palpable: ripe with beachside boogie and slick 70’s grooves reflecting its Joshua Tree surroundings, kicking up the dust in the land of cowboys & UFOs and landing on the sunny side for their happiest-sounding record to date.
Ten years is a long time — and this decade plus of all original bandmates have demonstrated themselves to be a dedicated brotherhood. How many 7-piece touring bands have stayed together for over 12 years? In this economy?? The Nude Party is a true enigma. Where others might dry out, The Nude Party’s wellspring continues to run over.
"... given the chance, [Teddy and the Rough Riders] will unite the hippies and the cowboys, the bikers and the stoners." -Margo Price
