Naked Empire

Naked Empire is a 4-piece Austin-based progressive rock band writing music through the combination of classical piano; blues rock guitar; a driving rhythm section and crisp, prominent vocals. The group has developed a large local following since they began writing together in early 2006. Following a self-titled 5-track E.P. in the summer of 2007, Naked Empire released their first full length album, "Bottom Feeders," in July of 2008.

"Naked Empire's album "Bottom Feeders" is nothing short of epic.
Here's a band that understands composition, arrangement, orchestration, and my favorite, dynamics, which run the range from delicate to thunderous. Vibrant songwriting, brought to life with just the right amount of anthemic prog--I'm getting a little addicted to it."

- Loris Lowe, Host of Local Licks on 93.7 KLBJ-FM

"Like a breath of fresh air, Naked Empire has breathed new life into the Austin music scene with it's unique blend of ambient tones and signature progressions mixed with the ever presence of rock riffs and energetic rhythms to come up with a sound that is distinctly their own. Naked Empire doesn't put on shows, they put on events. To see a Naked Empire show is too see a band that not only perfects their craft as far as music, they take you on a ride through their world that is all their own."
