| Origin | |
Naked Prey was an American rock band from
The Band of Blacky Ranchette (an occasional project of Giant Sand's Howe Gelb)[5] and was in the original lineup of The Friends of Dean Martinez
.
Naked Prey's aggressive, distorted sound was characterized as "rough-edged country rock" and "folk-distorto-rock"[6] and the band was credited with helping to pioneer the guitar-heavy "Desert Rock" sound associated with Tucson in the 1980s and 1990s.[7] The band was also associated with the vaguely psychedelic Paisley Underground scene out of Los Angeles.
In 1984 Naked Prey recorded their first record, produced by
Dream Syndicate). Two subsequent releases were on Los Angeles–based independent label Frontier Records. Though they never achieved commercial success, they, like many Tucson bands, acquired a substantial following in Europe.[7] The band broke up in the late 1990s,[8] but Christian re-unites Naked Prey from time to time for occasional performances.[9]
