Q&A: Naked Actress
The Resonate team love finding new music, and this week we bring you a very fresh rock band, Naked Actress. We’ll let them introduce themselves…
Introduce yourselves to us! Who are Naked Actress?
We are a new alt/desert rock band based in Glasgow/ Edinburgh. Following our debut show we were offered a stream of new gigs that have gave us the opportunity to develop our music and gave us the prospect of king tuts summer nights. Provided by the lovely Megan from DF. The band consists of Amy, Rian and Jake. Amy being the latest addition to the band was a result of a joint decision to bring another voice to the sound. The band came from and idea by Jake and Rian branching out from their band Vos Rough developing a new style and branching into new genres.
Which Scottish acts are you enjoying listening to at the moment? And who do you think could become the next big thing in Scotland/the UK/internationally?
We are all big fans of Vigilanti and Lacuna who have a big impact in the Scottish scene. Another memorable mention would be Sweaty Palms who we all enjoy seeing. We believe these bands can all go to the very top and the sky is the limit for them.
Do you have any advice for upcoming artists in Scotland, what would you tell your younger self to help them?
Practice, believe in your sound, and invest your time wisely.
Tell us your three desert island albums.
Songs for the Death - Queens of the Stone Age, Showbiz - Muse and Amphetamine Ballads - The Amazing Snakeheads
If you could collaborate with anyone on future music, who would it be?
Laura St Jude would be a dream collaboration as her vocals are truly unique and would compliment our sound! It would also pay homage to one of our favourite bands The Amazing Snakeheads.
And finally, what can we expect to see from Naked Actress throughout the rest of 2024?
We will be releasing our debut single in the next couple months “Partly Wanted”, King Tut’s (4th of August supporting The Skins) and potentially a headline, if not a double!
