    So who is going to see them?

    The Naked and Famous are a New Zealand band and are fantastic

    Their name is fabolous, I searched them in on google and it blocked them from my search because of the search filter, they're too good for google

    Their first album Passive me, Agressive you, another great name, is absolutely infectious and zany from start to finish and is a hell of an album, which I can't wait to hear live and in the Olympia. I've been to the Olympia once, but it was for a play ( The history, boys, anybody see it?), but it will be great to see them there, the footage I've seen from Glastonbury of them live sounded amazing

    At tickets at €25 it's a bargain. So... anybody going to see them in November?

    Yep I've seen them twice before, amazing band, brilliant live act. 1st time I saw them it was before they had officially released their album, but everyone knew the words to all the songs, lead singer was blown away by the crowds reaction, it really was a special gig! Can't wait to see them again!

    Seen them in New Zealand and at Glastonbury. Won't be going to the Olympia gig but I can highly recommend seeing these live. One of my favorite albums of the year.

    Personally, I thought overall out was very good. Although, to be honest I thought or got a little bit predictable or samey about 2/3 way though. (in fairness probably more to do with my location in the nosebleed section rather than a refelection on the band.
    Also thought the support band (youth mass) were really impressive

    Great gig! I only heard about Youth Mass because of this gig, but have been listening to them all week, they really are a great band who should have more success! The Crowd for NATF were abit so so I'll admit, and what was up with the lack of any sort of proper interaction with the crowd (a few mumbled words that you could not make out between a few songs was all we got from the band!). But they were the 2 very minor points, NATF still put on a great show, such a class live act, I love any live shows with a healthy excessive use of a synthesizer like them ha!
