The Nude Party, a well-oiled love machine of choogling rock‘n roll, have pulled back into the station with their fourth album Look Who’s Back. The band got their start ripping through basement house shows at their small college in Boone North Carolina. They were soon ditching class to play SXSW and go on DIY tours across America with their raucous brand of swingin’ 60’s garage rock. Riding an upward trajectory, the whole band set sail for New York. They played a summer residency at Brooklyn’s iconic Baby’s All Right, signed a record deal, and embarked upon multiple world tours and high profile festival runs. The bright and busy time saw a pair of studio albums - their debut self-titled LP The Nude Party (2018) and Midnight Manor (2020) - putting a shine on their rising star, a tight melodic rock band churning out big hooks with staying power. In the wake of the pandemic, they built a studio in the Catskills to record Rides On (2023), that carried the band further up the road of success as they sharpened their Stonesian orbit as eclectic explorers of their field, navigating stripped down country, electro pop, and everything in between. Ten years is a long time - and this decade plus of all original bandmates have demonstrated themselves to be a dedicated brotherhood. How many 7-piece touring bands have stayed together for over 12 years? In this economy?? The Nude Party is a true enigma. Their latest effort is a return to roots, opting for the independent route after the conclusion of a three album deal with New West Records. Before the bright lights shone, back in 2013, the band tracked their first EP Hot Tub live in a ragtag basement studio in Asheville NC. This latest release sees them getting back to the DIY in their DNA. Upon becoming free agents again, they swiftly whisked themselves deep into the desert - Joshua Tree California- and got to work in their pal Michael Rault’s living room recording studio.  Look Who’s Back took shape in a homegrown, late-night party atmosphere - playfully debaucherous sessions ran late into the night, the cozy room as crowded with mics, cables, and recording equipment as it was with friends, pizza boxes, and beer cans. The joy on the record is palpable - ripe with beachside boogie and slick 70’s groovers that reflect its storied Joshua Tree surroundings, kicking up the dust in the land of cowboys & UFOs, and landing on the sunny side for their happiest sounding record to date. Where others might dry out, The Nude Party’s wellspring continues to run over.

Born in Nashville, TN, Teddy and The Rough Riders have created a unique, genre bending version of Country Rock. Songs focus on close-harmony influences, soaring pedal steel, and grooving rhythms, modernizing the sounds of Little Feat, The Band, or Flying Burrito Bros. They’ve opened for artists like Margo Price and Orville Peck, and longtime collaborator Emily Nenni. Their last album “Down Home” was released in 2024, and they have a new album planned for 2026!
