You can’t help but love Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head based on the sheer genius of their name. When I first read of NPSH last spring in Dazed and Confused, I knew I had to hear them. Thankfully the band’s sound is as fun as its name.
The group – composed of four June babies, Luke Smith, Shaun Libman, David Price, Liam Downey Jr., and Claire England – released their self-released debut, Glistening Pleasures, this summer. But they’ve been performing and developing a following since 2005.
I talked with England via phone about NPSH’s evolution. “I set up the first show for these guys before I was even in the band” she said. The combo’s first performance was for 826 Seattle.
