The Nude Party is a rock and roll act that formed in Boone, NC in 2013. Influenced by the Kinks, the Animals, and the Velvet Underground, they have gained a reputation for their wild house parties and boundary-pushing music. Their stripped-down sound captures the spirit of the British Invasion transplanted into the Carolina mountains. With self-booked tours and collaborations with bands like The Growlers and King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, The Nude Party is making waves in the music scene.

Known for their debaucherous house parties and love of pushing boundaries, The Nude Party came together in Boone, NC in 2013. Inspired by bands like the Kinks, Animals, and Velvet Underground, they have become a force to be reckoned with in rock and roll. As their local shows gain more attention from both fans and law enforcement alike, they are constantly on the move to avoid trouble at home.

Their unique sound has been described as a blend of British Invasion rock mixed with Carolina mountain influences. Despite initial difficulties capturing their raw energy on record, The Nude Party has found success by recording in sweaty basements with minimal equipment. They have also honed their live performances through countless self-booked tours alongside bands such as The Oblivians and Night Beats.

Signed

For The Nude Party, nearly a decade has flown by in the blink of an eye. In that time, the New York-based band has released a pair of well-received albums, an EP and played numerous shows.

The band has historically worked with a producer to help them create a distinct sound in their records but with their latest effort, Rides On, the band decided to handle production duties by themselves. The hands-on approach allowed the band to have as much fun creating as they ever had at any other point in their career. They recorded over 20 songs, including some that dabbled in electro-pop and stripped-down country before settling on the final 14 songs containing the best elements of ‘70s-driven blues rock.

The relaxed vibe of the session also unleashed a diverse sonic texture compared to their previous releases. Sonically, the album is reminiscent of Sticky Fingers-era Stones, but the lyrics are mini-vignettes that embody the spirit of what The Nude Party are going for — and their growth as a band.

Rides On, the band confidently says, is their best record. It’s also the most homegrown and organic record The Nude Party has created to date.
