A rocky rootsy band from Dorset playing a distinctive brand of original music
' ...Overflowing with spirit and a compelling energy ... a performance that marries verve, power and a lung-busting joie de vivre ... the accompanying blend of roots-rock, country, Celtic flavourings and a full-bodied melodic musical assault creates a powerful live combination ...' R2 Rock'n'Reel magazine
'State of Undress provides feisty, fun, dynamic and passionate music. It would certainly be a show you don't want to miss.' Maverick magazine
'A lilt to the vocals that carries with it the salt scent of the sea ... this band plays with a pleasure that is physical' The Alternate Root

Thank you, everyone, for a great 2011. We look forward to seeing you at a gig in 2012!
Take a look around, find out about us, listen to clips from our albums and check out a gig near you.
We are working with Eric Montague of Netfora TV on a DVD of behind-the-scenes footage and live performance. Surely you don't want to know what really goes on? Well, apart from much merry music-making, we can assure you, it also involves a lot of wine and real ale! Anyway, for a taster have a look at our news page. Eric filmed our Christmas Show and also on our news page is his film of our live performance of The Hangman's Daughter - shortly to be on our new album.
Our current album Livin' it, Lovin' it! is available to buy here and from iTunes.
Have a look at us playing it live at our 2010 Festive Show at The Regent Centre. We had a little help from some lovely Highcliffe children! Also from the 2010 show - Keith's drum solo and the Hangman's Daughter.

We had a great night at The Regent Centre on Wednesday 14th December. Huge thanks to our wonderful audience for your warm welcome. You were with us from the first second. We loved playing for you. So good to see so many lovely Undressers there and ALL in the mood for a party. Loads of State of Undress virgins in the audience too. Hope the auditorium moved for you!!! Oh - and sorry for the state of the kitchen guys. Thanks for doing the washing up!!!! xxxxxxx
We've finally succumbed and set up a twitter account! So follow our goings on here :-
