Playing in a completely packed Constellation Room in Santa Ana, duo Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers peeled off the lush anthemics that saturated a number of their hits like, Young Blood, and, Punching in a Dream.

For a band who haven’t played in London for a few years, The Naked and Famous have a staunchly devoted fanbase.

Hot off the back of their third release ‘Simple Forms' New Zealand band The Naked & Famous return to Manchester after a four year absence, and the crowd have come in their numbers selling out the Manchester Academy.

I had never heard of So Below before last night, and I’m safely saying that the band now has a new supporter.
