Naked Highway appeared on several big blogs this past month, resulting in 2,000 hits in a single day for the new "Wet Like Sweat" video on you tube, and 8,000+ in total! Woo hoo!

Trying to get the press updated, there have been so many sighting and interviews that need to be transcribed!

Ricky Martin from Hell
MTVOnline - Local Scene
Catchy songs and dance beats make Naked Highway a kitchy fun lil-dance outfit, but listen closely...undertones of longing and despair give the group more depth than your run-of-the-mill electronica. Along with a shocking dance version of PJ Harvey's "Meet Ze Monsta" and that singer who moves like Ricky Martin from Hell, Naked Highway is destined for greatness beyond the NYC club scene. - David Lo

Breathy-cool aura!
Music Connection Magazine
Sy Boccari mans the controls of this synth-heavy New York project. The Substitute is a seductive, Velvets-influenced song with nice touches, including bells. Boccaris voice has a breathy-cool aura thats just right. Gears shift to a propulsive dance mode on Better Off Naked and the Kraftwerk-inspired Mr. Disco which features robotic vocals. Word has it that Naked Highway is a strong live act.

Erotic Caberet 2005
amazon.com
Not since Soft Cell has an artist taken cold dispassionate machines and turned them into an expression for sleaze, romance and nihilism. Sy Boccari sounds like a young Marc Almond. His music is a 21st century paean of sleazy sex, dance floor politics, disconnected sexuality on the internet and shows that underneath it all there is still human passion and romance. Think of this CD as the fulfilled promises of Soft Cell's Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret brought to the next level. Sy Boccari manages to wring depth of feeling from samplers, keyboards and guitars making please for love and lust in the 21st Century. Unapologetically straightforward and sleazy, this CD may not be for the faint of heart. But it is for those seeking a new groove and more depth over the rebirth of the Electronica movement. Here is the soul of the new machine. Stand out tracks are "The Substitute" (now beginning to find its way into dance clubs and alternative music radios), "Better Off Naked", "Peepshow" and "Out The Door" (which is a song Marc Almond may end up envying as his own.) The last track, an instrumental, "TV Tonight" is chilling, comforting and spacey. This is the CD for long late night drives on the highway with your iPod. - Divine Ms. Jimmi (Local Nightlife personality - Philadelphia PA)


Neon Electro via the Disco Era!
ReGen Magazine
One gets the impression Naked Highway might have felt quite at home in the Studio 54 days. Musically, Naked Highway is a mix of neon-electro via the disco area and slightly edgier guitar-tainted electro-pop. While their debut album, Novocaine Smile, displays a level of proficiency in programming and production, there are hints of better things to come. All in all, Naked Highway may be one to watch for in the future. - Damon Wilson

An Eclectic Audio-Visual Amalgam
Next Magazine
Naked Highway - the name alone is enought to conjure images of an eclectic audio-visual amalgam; as though the most esoteric of William Burroughs' writing shakced ip with the most eccentric of David Lynch films to produce a musical group twice as twisted as either. A bit difficult to wrap your head around, isn't it? So it Naked Highway.

Led by frontman Sy Boccari, the group has been making the rounds for quite some time, turning up at familiar fey fetes such as Siberia and CBGB. Their latest single "The Substitute" continues the techno/electro/sex-tro angle of their album, upping the aural ante with a pair of remixes of the title track and a bonus club mix of "We Can Fuck." Re-rubs on the single tread a fine line between moody nu-new-wave and the hi-bpm bonanza of Limelight in its early-90s heyday. A bit difficult to wrap your head around, to be sure - but a fun spin if you're in the mood for something off the well-worn beat path. - Greg T. Angelo


Percolating Video Game Energy
Outsmart Magazine
The new-wave influence, which is so prevalent in a lot of mainstream music inside and outside of dance clubs, can also be heard making an impact in music by many up-and-coming artists. Naked Highway personifies what I'm talking about. Their album Novocaine Smile opens with the percolating video game energy of "We Can F--k," which is ideal for dancing vertically or horizontally. "Used to Be Friends" continues the trend, recalling the aforementioned Soft Cell, but minus Marc Almond's near-perfect vocals. "Driving at Night" would sound great blasting out of a car's speakers, especially after sundown, and the pumping "Better Off Naked" and "Peepshow" are reminders of the opening track's suggestiveness. As you might expect, "Ctrl Alt Del" tries for a Kraftwerk-like current, while album closer "TV Tonight" lets the listener down easy, as the feeling returns to any and all numb spots. - Gregg Shapiro

The Killers meets Scissor Sisters!
about.com
Imagine the Killers and Scissor Sisters merging to form a hardcore band with a dance edge. That's one way of describing Naked Highway. With an endorsement from Houston Bernard, you know they got to be good. - DJ Ron

Tongue in Chic!
bpfallon.com
Electro sex rock fronted by the charismatic pan-sexual diva Sy Boccari, all full-on brown acid showmanship and tongue in chic humour. Their album Novacaine Smile boasts rinky-dink treasures like Peepshow, Better Off Naked and the poetically-titled We Can Fuck. Think The Scissor Sisters having sex with Dare-era Human League and giving birth to sleaze & romance, nihilism & lust. Where guilt becomes pleasure." - DJ MOJO (Death Disco NYC)

Ballsy and Brash!
Read Magazine
Naked Highway is ballsy and brash. The band's strongest element is its hybrid of styles and ambiance immersed in modern technology. Modern beats and riffs reflecting those of a society that is unforgiving yet tolerant, and the frustration of always living on the edge of attainment and absolution. - Christopher Cannedy

One-man techno wrecking ball!
Limewire
Who better to round out the final performance of the 2007 Conflux Festival than the campier-than-camp one-man techno wrecking ball, Naked Highway. If ANYONE can work a room the size of Luna by himself, it's this guy. Must be seen to be believed!

I wanted to share with all of you out there some of influences behind what it is we do. They're not always musical. Russ Meyers and Roger Ebert's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was the PRIMARY influence for starting Naked Highway. In fact, the whole like ups and downs, crazy to serious, seriously crazy and crazily seriousness of what I do is all in this movie. Watch it and you will completely understand what Naked Highway music is about. Here is one of my favorite scenes:


This one is from My Own Private Idaho. If you ever wondered why River Phoenix was a legend in his time, it's this scene that proves it all. Yeah, Brokeback was nice, but this was the fucking real deal. You cannot mess with this scene. It breaks my heart everytime I see it. Why they named the move after my favorite B-52's song I'll never know...

Here it is! We're going to Europe!
