The Naked and Famous
Sounds a bit saucy, but The Naked and Famous are actually an indie-alt electronic pop band hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. The five-piece is currently on tour, in support of their 2nd and latest full-length, …
THE NAKED AND FAMOUS
at First Avenue
Wednesday, 11/02/16, 7pm ($27.50)

New Zealand’s The Naked And Famous will be headlining First Avenue in support of their new album Simple Forms (Somewhat Damaged / Kobalt Label Services).
We previously caught TNAF in March 2014 and wrote, “Auckland’s The Naked and Famous then took then the stage for a moody and impactful 40 min. set of songs drawn from their latest effort, In Rolling Waves (Fiction, Republic, Somewhat Damaged) as well as 2010’s Passive Me, Aggressive You, on a grey-tinged set designed like the deconstructed flower on the new album’s cover.”
XYLO and The Chain Gang Of 1974 to open.

Big Head Todd
This Colorado-based trio has built a career on years of solid touring throughout every college town and a strong DIY ethic. CRIMES OF PASSION is Big Head Todd and the Monsters' eighth album.
…
BIG HEAD BLUES CLUB (Big Head Todd)
at Cedar Cultural Center
Thursday, 11/03/16, 7pm ($40)
thecedar.org
Platinum-recording artist Big Head Todd and the Monsters is teaming up with three second-generation blues stars, Mud Morganfield, Billy Branch and Ronnie Baker Brooks, to form the Big Head Blues Club. Their new album Way Down Inside is an in-depth tribute to Willie Dixon.
This is a very unique collaboration, and singer Todd (the big head himself), explains, “Willie Dixon was a great writer, an incredible bass player, a great thinker and a beautiful guy. He tends to get overlooked because so much of what he did was behind the scenes, but he was definitely one of the most important songwriters in American music. He always professed that the blues is an accurate mirror of human life, and his subject matter ranged from politics to love songs and everything in between. So I'm excited to be able to tell more people about Willie Dixon with this project.”

MUUY BIIEN
at Georgia Theatre
Wednesday, 11/02/16, 8pm ($8)
georgiatheatre.com
Muuy Biien’s record release party for Age Of Uncertainty happens on November 2nd at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA. The show will start with performances by Bambara and Hello Ocho.
Age Of Uncertainty is an enticingly sinister work of avant garde genius, sung with a sneer. This album is a departure from the band’s previous post-punk catalog, deftly combining avant jazz and punk. They are currently touring in support of the new record.
Muuy Biien is well known for their live shows. Lead vocalist Joshua Evans struts and swaggers about the stage, larger than life and totally in command of everyone watching.
This is going to be a night of charismatic frontmen who command attention. Bambara’s lead singer/guitarist Reid Bateh has a fierce onstage demeanor, pouring every ounce of his angst into his vocals, his guitar and about 16 different effects pedals. He uses these tools like the conductor of an orchestra to create layer upon layer of haunting experimental sounds.
Bambara is currently touring in support of their album Swarm, released this spring.
Atlanta’s Hello Ocho will kick off the evening with their own unique style of jazzy psychedelia. Their latest record, The Slippery Hand EP, was released in September.
