Bio:

Naked, the brain child of Julia Nichols, is a genre defying mix of soulful, sultry sounds, lyrics that give you something to think about and rhythms that make you want to shake your booty. ..

Naked . . .

The Naked truth

..
Myspace Layouts / Myspace Backgrounds /
.. I am I and you are you, We are what we are and we do what we do. We all strive to find the line and the proper way to draw it, for I am not really a poet and I'm not sure how long I'll hold it. How far the stars will shine for me. How long the song will rest in my body. I loose my words as if none apply, a feeling so simple the desire to fly. To feel the soft light of morning across my face, to know that I am not lost but choosing my place. Always searching for something anything to catch my eye, I'm open I'm open this does apply. I'm gushing with flow, attempting to grow, to remember my sight. To move with the rhythm of flight. I loose my mind, forget the time, for the tiniest taste of that universal place. I am but a grain of sand realizing that I hold in my hands a thing of grace. Submissive to my touch. Lord help me feel the love and be done with hate because we all strive to find the line and the proper way to draw it. I am I and you are you, we are what we are and we do what we do.

Music beyond description .. let yer' earholes decide.

The Naked tribe includes:

JULIA NICHOLS, voice, songs, percussion, guitar, engineering, production & driving force

Often found sneaking into the bar with her guitar at age 15, Julia has been a working musician in her community for so long, locals would peg her as ten years older than she actually is. She has played with numerous bands ranging punk, jazz, rock, classical, blues, folk and reggae in venues across the world. Once known as the singer of The Waz, and that girl who sang with Ari-Up of The Slits...... http://www.facebook.com/julianicholsmusic

JOHNNY WATSON, The Naked drum seat.

Drummer Johnny Watson has always secretly wanted to be Naked. He now drives Naked with his powerful yet delicate sense of dynamics and acute skill. Watson studied jazz at SUNY New Paltz, but not enough to hurt him. Interestingly, one of the few drummers without a typical drummer attitude, soon found himself in every rock venue with leaky toilets on the east coast; the Knitting Factory, Lit Lounge, CBGB's. The Continental, Arlene's Grocery, Otto's Shrunken Head, PussyCat Lounge, The Bitter End, Kenny's Castaway's, Brownies, Baggot Inn, Trash Bar … he also plays with Lara Hope and The Champtones and many others but likes being Naked the best. He’s not stupid ;-) ..

KEVIN PAST, bass

Kevin began playing music at the age of 4, often found banging away on the family piano. For his 13th birthday he was handed his first guitar which he never put down and has played all over the country this side of the Mississippi. Whether it's been dive bars in Florida, keg parties in Athens, OH, or in the back of a U-Haul somewhere no where near civilization, songs and sounds with different beats has been his tune.
Now with Naked, Past is exploring the world of the Electric Bass, and the concepts of pockets and grooves which go along with it. Listen to his songs, he's Sonnyboy Brindle.
"Everyday I learn something new about the world of music with this band. I'm excited to play, and see us all evolve beyond what we think is possible. Our potential is limitless. I love it!!" ~Kevin Past
