The Naked Strangers

About Me

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 continue 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 we let them walk away unscathed. During the summer, their songs drummed the taut skins of 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.So - come see, come see - there are treats inside and they wriggle deliciously....
