Naked Aggression biography

Naked Aggression was formed in Madison, WI by Guitarist/Song Writer Phil Suchomel and Singer Kirsten Patches in early 1991, during the Gulf War. They where both classical music students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who were discontent with the confines of a conservative music department, So, they started jamming together in the dingy basement of their house in the student ghetto. They had an array of people play bass and drums with them. About a year later they left Madison and moved out to California and spent nine months up in the East Bay/ San Francisco area. For the past three years they've based themselves in L.A. Recently Joe Garcia joined them on Bass and Aaron Austin joined them on Drums.

In the last four years they have released two full length lp/cd's, a 10" record, a cd e.p., and four 7" e.p.'s, along with appearing on many punk compilation albums. Mighty Records, from L.A. has released their last three projects as well as the latest release, "March March Alive" which was recently recorded live at the renowned underground punk venue, Gilman st., in Berkley, CA. Prior to this Broken Rekids from San Francisco, put out their first album and two 7"'s, and Neighbour Annoyer Records released their 10" record in the U.K. All of these recordings have world wide distribution and are readily available at most record stores. They also get regular air play through out the college radio circuit, as well as on KROQ's local shows "Rodney on the Roq" and "Zeke's Back Yard," and on John Peel's radio show in the U.K
