A Seattle electro combo formed by Luke Smith and Shaun Libman, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head have drawn comparisons to such established genre names as the Fitness and the United States of Electronica. Their debut gig, after taking on additional members David Price and Claire England, took place at the grand opening of the club 826 Seattle, and drew favorable reviews from local papers and a mention from famed author Dave Eggers. After honing their skills on a handful of different stages, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head released their debut album, Glistening Pleasure, on July 15, 2008. ~ Chris True
