Kiwi sensations The Naked And Famous will be playing tonight in the Gargoyle. They’re the most prominent band out of New Zealand since Flight of the Conchords. The Naked And Famous formed in 2008 with original band members Thom Powers (vocals and guitar) and Alisa Xayalith (vocals and keys), along with producer Aaron Short. Later they added drummer Jesse Wood and bassist David Beadle. They’ve since played music festivals like Lollapalooza and the Fuji Rock Festival, and toured the United States, Europe and Japan.

The Naked And Famous have released one studio album, “Passive Me, Aggressive You.” The band’s sound is most aptly described as sun-soaked, electronic pop punk. If the band had formed before 2008, every episode of “The O.C.” would have featured its music. The group is like a more accessible MGMT or Neon Indian—Foster the People, but with substance. Every song captures the euphoria of summer, especially hit singles “Young Blood” and “Punching In A Dream.” Even the band’s most melancholic songs like “No Way” are still catchy.

Public tickets are already sold out, and the tickets given out to students at Edison Theater are all gone too. According to the Gargoyle’s Facebook page, 250 more student tickets will be given out at the door with a Wash. U. ID. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., with the show slotted to start at 8 p.m.
