Naked Prey were formed by Tucson (Arizona) singer and guitarist Van Christian (after a brief stint in Green On Red as a drummer). The mini-album Naked Prey (Down There, 1984) remains one of the defining experiences of "desert-rock", the country/psychedelic sound born out of the southwestern states. At least Flesh On The WallUnder The Blue Marlin (Frontier, 1986) is a modest affair, highlighted by Voodoo Godhead. 40 Miles From Nowhere (Frontier, 1987) and the live Kill The Messenger (Fundamental, 1990) closed their career. Van Christian and occasional guitarist Bill Elm would form Friends of Dean Martinez.
