Artist description Who are the Naked Flames? A loose collection of pseudointellectual guitar geeks with spaceman attitudes? A secret clone army of dead rock stars? Or simply a jaded antisocial muso with a computer and too much time on his hands? You Decide!

Music Style Mutant psych-rock that can and will absorb anything going.

Musical Influences Today I have been mostly eating The Hives.

Similar Artists The voice of Eddie Vedder after a detox program, an occasional Zappa twinge of humour, the swamp guitars of Gomez, the passion of Jeff Buckley.

Artist History A long and tangled story that would take too long to tell. Alleged ringleader Ben Godwin has been following the music since the age of two when his mother would stop him crying with Vivaldi and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... later, he took acid at the Glastonbury Festival and knew he had to risk all for the ineffable groove... singing with Prophecy, the incendiary Stranger's Cage, David Cross (ex King Crimson), and the unpredictable Peanut Butter Spliff.

Group Members Various, according to time, place, and pharmacacopia.

Instruments Guitars, vocals, keyboards, programming, didjeridu, percussion, lateral thinking.

Albums Devagrenade EP (2000)

Press Reviews ***** from Guitarist (UK) '...a kind of pyschedelic time warp quality, too groovy to be modern, too driven to be retro. Feels like a Donovan and Soundgarden milkshake.'-Jingo's Picks on mp3.com
