The Naked & the Dead New York City in 1985 was a very insular place when it came to anything that wasn't top 40 or hardcore, especially for 'post-punk', or gothic, as it would soon come to be known. But as the fans of bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, Death Cult, Specimen, and Sex Gang Children began to meet and exchange ideas, clubs, bands and fanzines began to formulate. Only a few bands managed to make their mark on what would become an international gothic movement. |

| Due to the difficult nature of being young and perserverant in a DIY music scene, The Naked & the Dead only managed to make one demo, but that demo is now a cult classic that stands up to the bands that did manage to break through the mire and onto record shleves (Of A Mesh, Fahrenheit 451, etc.). This site serves as a monument and a starting point for those interested in one of New York Citys most talented, though shortlived, post-punk bands. | |
