The Nude Party doesn’t play rock ‘n’ roll like a costume they live in it. What started as basement house shows in Boone, North Carolina turned into SXSW chaos, DIY runs across the country, and a full-send move to New York where they sharpened their sound into a tight, hook-heavy, seven-piece wrecking crew. Now they’re rolling in with their fourth album Look Who’s Back a return-to-roots record that feels like the afterparty you don’t want to end. After years of world tours, festival runs, and three albums with New West Records, the band chose the independent route again and you can hear the freedom all over this one. They escaped to Joshua Tree and recorded in a living-room studio with late-night energy: crowded mics, friends posted up, pizza boxes stacked, beer cans everywhere. The result is their happiest, sweatiest record yet beachside boogie, slick ‘70s grooves, and choogling garage rock that hits like sunshine on your face with a little dust in your teeth. Live, The Nude Party is a full-band experience: seven players locked in, melodies for days, and the kind of loose-but-deadly groove that turns a room into a dancefloor. A decade-plus with the same lineup, still sounding hungry, still sounding fun this is rock ‘n’ roll built to be felt in a crowd. Presented by El Club. All ages
