Naked on the Vague

Naked On The Vague (NOTV) were born out of discontent with the malady of nothingness. This nothing fuels their stabbing assault of doom laden experimental punk.

Originally a keys, guitar and drum machine duo (Lucy Cliche - keys/vox/drum box, Nightmare Hopkins - guitar/electronics), NOTV was born out of Sydney, Australia in 2006, with a found organ, a broken bass guitar, a borrowed drum and some old doom poetry. The band recently expanded to include a ‘proper’ rhythm section, with Nic -bass guitar and Lachie - drums.

Naked On The Vague’s first self titled 7” record was released by Dual Plover. The three song release captures the spectrum of sound NOTV create. Side A features the single ‘All Aboard’, plus the short and sharp ‘God Nor Devil’. These tracks were recorded by the band to four track cassette machine. TheB side features a slow doomy track titled ‘A Sunken Piece of Rubbish’, which was recorded while the band was in Los Angeles by Greg Gomberg using a reel to reel tape, with additional recording by the band after the event.

Later NOTV releases include: Chitty Chat (Sacred Bones 2009) 7", The Blood Pressure Sessions (DualPlover 2007/ Siltbreeze 2008) CD/ LP, Mickey Mouse Headache Tapes (Near Tapes 2009) C30 cassette/ CDR, Poltergeist Palm (Skulltones 2008) 7” vinyl, Sad Sun (Sabbatical 2007) CD, Naked On The Vague (Dual Plover 2006) 7” vinyl, and "Heaps of Nothing" (Siltbreeze 2010) - their first album as a band.
