Local favorites, Now, Now (formerly Now, Now Every Children) played a sold-out hometown gig, their first in over three years, at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Thursday night.

Another local favorite Dem Yuut (Jeremy Hanson, Don House, Danny O'Brien, Jef Sundquist) opened the show, now a more established band than when we first saw them at their second show in June 2016.

When not remixing the Staves (‘Tired as F***’), the band is hard at work writing new songs like their new single ‘Dawn/Sea’ (which ended their brief setlist).

KC Dalager

Now, Now were seasoned professional by the time we saw the young band February 2010. They started the band when they were 16 years old, and signed to Afternoon Records in 2007.

After losing various band members (notably Jess Abbott, who now plays under the stagename Tancred), the band remain the same two singer/guitarist KC Dalager (aka Cacie) and drummer Bradley Hale, but for their live shows, they’re joined on stage by a live guitarist and bassist.

Shortly after their show at the Triple Rock Social Club in April 2013, the band kind of went into hiatus.

We actually thought the band broke up, but last month, the band showed up their new single ‘SGL’, which NPR Music hailed as an “instant classic.”

As expected, the band was still working out the kinks of attempting to play the new songs. It’s been a long time, and their many friends, family, and fans, gave the band some slack.

One of the new song, ‘AZ’ is about going back to Arizona, at “the heart of it all”. Another new songs, which was tentatively called ‘Yours’, actually had a different title by KC, as “an inside joke”. They didn’t tell us the joke, but based on the giggling on stage, it must’ve been rather embarrassing.

Of course, the set closer, ‘Thread’, like their 2013 appearance, received the biggest response from the crowd. The song was played on Jimmy Fallon, and became the band’s signature song.

Although gone for a while, the sold out show, full of enthusiastic audience, proved that the band has not been forgotten.
