Naked are back in full force after completing their fourth album Pink Quartz.

Although they only live two hours down the road, frequent Melbourne and Newcastle more than they do Launceston.

The band’s guitarist Robert Fisher explained that they play regularly interstate and have recently finished a mainland tour.

“In February we kicked off our tour in Hobart, then went straight from Brisbane, playing shows all the way down to Melbourne. I think we played about 10 shows in 12 days,” Fisher said.

The tour was in light of their most recent production Pink Quartz- the full album is also available on vinyl, which the band is extremely proud of.

This was the first album by Naked that they fully committed to, having spent a lot of time on the album process.

“We are more refined now, so I want to flog this album as much as we can this year, we want to do lots of touring with this album to make the most of it,” Fisher said.

The band started off as just a solo project, the lead singer Kieran Sullivan just writing stuff on his own, with rough recordings and putting them online.

When Sullivan’s friends Fisher and Jordan Marson heard what he was getting up to, they immediately wanted to join and create music together.

“After we joined we started making music straight away, we wrote and recorded the next album in like two days (in 2011), and the same in 2012 - our early releases were just home jobs though,” Fisher said.

Naked have withstood a few obstacles, with drummers coming and going, but now as a three-piece the lead singer is residing in Melbourne, but Fisher is still optimistic of the band’s future.

“We want to continue to write songs and exist geographically separate, just send stuff between bandmates - a lot of bands have been able to do that and we want to continue to play as many shows as we can,” he said.

You can catch Naked’s album launch at The Gunners Arms in Launceston on Saturday, May 7, from 8pm. Supporting them are Launceston bands Teens and Bansheeland.
