NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It's been quite the year for New Zealand electro rock phenom THE NAKED AND FAMOUS (TNAF), and they're closing it out with a bevy of high profile U.S. tour dates supporting their UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC RECORDS debut, PASSIVE ME, AGGRESSIVE YOU. The next slew of dates commences on Tuesday November 29 at Jillians in Albany, NY and includes a stop at KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas in Los Angeles on December 11 (http://player.vimeo.com/video/32178740). The band will also embark on a 2012 U.S. headlining tour next spring that will pass through venues like L.A.’s Wiltern Theatre and New York’s Terminal 5. Tickets for the tour are on sale now.
Recently, the band swept the New Zealand Music Awards, snagging "Album of the Year" for PASSIVE ME, AGGRESSIVE YOU, "Single of the Year" for "Young Blood", Best Group, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, and "Best Alternative Album" in a record breaking haul. However, TNAF's rock dominance doesn't stop in their home country.
In fact, it extends worldwide. The group enchanted crowds at Lollapalooza in Chicago, the iTunes Festival in London, Rock am Ring in Germany, Fuji Rock in Japan, Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco, Glastonbury and the Reading Festival in England as well as festivals throughout Europe and Australasia. KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas promises to be the climax to a banner year for the group in the U.S.
After experiencing the group's irresistible live show, tastemakers continue to laud TNAF. Paste Magazine named the group the "success story" of the Treasure Island Festival, while Time Out Chicago claimed one gig was "packed with downtown Chicago movers and shakers." Billboard, Nylon, Glamour, AOL, The Chicago Tribune and countless other outlets have featured the group.
