Now, Now, formerly known as Now, Now Every Children, is an American indie rock duo formed in Blaine, Minnesota and based in Minneapolis. [1] The band consists of Cacie Dalager (vocals, guitar, keyboard) and Bradley Hale (drums, backing vocals).
The band was formed in 2003. Classmates Cacie Dalager and Bradley Hale met in their high school marching band when they were both sixteen years old. They eventually began writing songs together, starting with an acoustic song dedicated to a college-bound friend. [2] The band's name, according to Dalager, was an in-joke resulting from a typo in an online chat. The duo considered using the name for an EP title, but it stuck as the band name when they officially started the project. [3] Dalager and Hale were joined by Brad's sister Britty on keyboards, and school friend Justin Schweim on bass for the recording of their first EP and their first few shows in the Minneapolis area.[ citation needed ] Shortly before they began recording their first album, Schweim left their live setup, and Christine Sako stepped in. [3] Jess Abbott joined in 2009.
In 2007, Now, Now signed to local Minneapolis-based indie record label Afternoon Records, founded by a friend, Ian Anderson. [3] The band recorded and released two EPs on the label in early 2008, titled Not One, But Two and In the City. [4] In September 2008, Now, Now opened for Mates of State in Minneapolis. [5] Anderson produced their full-length debut album, Cars, released digitally on February 27, 2009 [6] and on CD on July 9, 2009. [4] The band played the Bamboozle festival on May 3, 2009 [7] and supported Paramore on tour across Europe in December 2009. [8]
After about three years at Afternoon Records, Now, Now left the label, which they announced on their official blog on April 16, 2010. [9] Since then, the band has shortened their name from Now, Now Every Children to simply Now, Now. [10] Of the name change, Dalager explained to SPIN : "We felt like we needed to disconnect ourselves from any childish image we had. It was a way of starting over and simplifying things for us." [11] Under their new name, the band self-produced an EP titled Neighbors, which was digitally released on September 7, 2010, for 24 hours. [12] There were also 140 physical copies of the EP made, which sold out within eight minutes of going on sale. The album was re-released on December 7 via No Sleep Records. [11] Now, Now performed at the first Popsickle Festival, presented by Motion City Soundtrack, at First Avenue, on December 18, 2010. [13]
The band began 2011 as a support act on all dates of Hellogoodbye's winter tour, along with Jukebox the Ghost, You, Me, and Everyone We Know, and Gold Motel. [14] They were also scheduled to be one of the support acts for Fake Problems on their spring 2011 tour but pulled out to prepare new material for their next full-length record and to "clear [their] heads after so many straight months of touring"; they still performed on the Minnesota date. [15] [16] On May 3, 2011, Now, Now released a collection of remixes of Neighbors tracks, called Neighbors: The Remixes. In the same announcement, it was confirmed that the band would be recording their second full-length album shortly thereafter, produced by Howard Redekopp. [17]
