Naked and Shameless
The undisputed acoustic punk kings of kitsch rock. From Chicago. Always in search of good times and strange salvation.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Legend says that Buck and Dave met in a hotel bar in Indonesia where both had become resident lounge lizards after running away from their individual troubles. They began singing Karaoke together and evolved into the werid hybrid "act" they are today. They've been based out of Chicago since August of 2000, but still call the world their home.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
