Biography In just a few years, NYC-based electro-glam outfit NAKED HIGHWAY has emerged from the sea of downtown scenesters as a multimedia force to be reckoned with! Not only did the group embark on the first of several international tours, but also their music videos have received heavy rotation in the USA on LOGO and MTV-U. NAKED HIGHWAY has also become a much-sought after remixer, working with heavy-hitters such as THE PRESETS ("If I Know You") and RIHANNA ("Breakin' Dishes"). NAKED HIGHWAY’s recent string of DJ-friendly singles and music videos provide a blueprint for group's impending world domination. Songs such as "Better Off Naked" and their latest, "Wet Like Sweat" double-dutch between dance/electronica and new wave rock. Rhythmic beats pulse through Splenda™-sweetened synths & guitars and provide the pillars for their signature brand of downtown attitude and showmanship. This spectacular showmanship has been key to their rising star. At every live show, NAKED HIGHWAY unleashes the full potential of their already infectious music with costumes, choreography and charisma! This has led to high-profile international appearances, including performances at the SONAR FESTIVAL 2007 (Barcelona, Spain), CMJ MUSIC MARATHON (New York) 2006, NORTH BY NORTHEAST 2006 (Toronto, Canada), MIAMI WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE 2005 and FOLSOM STREET FAIR 2005 (San Francisco). Naked Highway has also opened for noted acts such as Darren Hayes, Kelly Osborne, Freezepop, Hong Kong Counterfeit, Kudu, My Robot Friend, Cazwell, Nada Surf, Sander Kleinenberg (DJ set) and Massive Attack vocalist Debbie Claire. NAKED HIGHWAY is available for interviews, bookings for live shows and licensing opportunities.
