Now, Now - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@elimessingerplatt6295]

Now Now is a special band in a special place in my heart. Every time I find a new album from them is always at a point in my life where I needed it. Got the chance to see them live in my hometown when they were touring with this album and it was honestly in top shows I ever went to

[@brenccz]

can y’all stop talking about their old music? instead of that you guys should take the time to appreciate their new album. they were stuck trying to write an album for almost 5 years and came back with an entire record with a new sound and vibe. feel glad they’re back playing shows and with new songs.

[@FuzzEater]

I’ve been listening since the beginning and it’s been amazing watching them evolve. It seems like they’ve really found their groove.

[@sami-yc3xj]

since the beginning... as in back when they were "Lone" on myspace?!?!

[@capostatus937]

I don't care what anyone says Saved is a great record.

[@StopMoColorado]

Hell yeah, it is! 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@malcolmheredia-langner5839]

We’re people bad talking it? I’ve only ever heard how much it slaps.

[@p.d.swanfleet6531]

"Saved" is really a great album...

[@rue__s]

I haven't stopped listening to them since, def my fave album of 2018. thank you KEXP

[@bootesvoidsound]

Can't believe how good "Can't Help Myself" is in this live version. Just fell in love with that song from this. These guys are so awesome live - saw them in Philly - can't wait to see them again sometime.

[@cherifmihoub]

Great Band.. Brings me some old gold vibes 🤍

[@DenEz_TV]

Now Now - SAVED is the best album of 2018! So catchy! Keep doing electronic music, guys!

[@kerribelleville7958]

she's so beautiful and her music means everything to me

[@guyville1]

3:37 the cutest thing on the entire set. The record is indeed amazing!

[@m.k.8658]

I agree :)

[@weeagoo]

I'm just happy that these two are molding their music with their growth, and as much as I love old Now,Now I love seeing this bands growth into this new era. Proud of Brad & KC! Can't wait to hear what they bring out next.

[@hardstylepikachu]

I LOVE NOW, NOW THANK YOU FOR HAVING THEM

[@portwain]

Threads is the best album of 2010s in my opinion.

[@rubyredz5663]

portwain the 2010s isn't even over man

[@hardstylepikachu]

Yeah Threads is definitely my favorite album by them but Saved is still a jam

[@drewbocop]

Best album of ALL albums in the 2010s!? Cmon bro lmao

[@shocken90]

I kinda hated it at first but there was something that brought me back to it time and time again. I could never really figure it why. Now (,now) I love it. As a former pop punk and emo rock lover when I was a teen, it was the perfect album that transitioned me to indie rock.

[@miroslavbahen4817]

Yeah - what a great album!

[@FeelsLikeSunshine]

That Jazzmaster is just so darn pretty.

[@aeoais]

Love them

[@mr.smouse9623]

I discovered this band based on Saved. Although it maybe more pop, it got me interested to listen to their whole catalog and appreciate their musical journey.

[@cathyvanriper5101]

Thank you so much from Seattle for this addition to your show. Just beautiful... (Brad and family)

[@sparkawesome1806]

obsessed with this performance 💖💗💞💕 so fly, they make it look easy!

[@davidjuarez1981]

I saw them live in San Francisco twice. I touched her back when she was running through the crowd in one of her songs. Awesome band!!!

[@oravenheart]

i love them so much

[@pedrokoury1352]

i love Now Now.

[@marcuscrews424]

Love them. Tons of positive energy!

[@zeketheloser9575]

What a change. Theads was such important record on my youth, so deep and bright at same time dark and open wide, hard listen to this. But is ok, if you'r happy singing this songs, so be it. I'll keep Threads in my heart.

[@aeoais]

me encanta now, now

[@djiniya]

Fantastic set!!

[@diegodogliotti2031]

Excelente !!

[@devonlindsay5784]

Great band! I randomly came across this band recently and feel they deserve to be so much bigger than they are! But who knows.. maybe they don't want to be bigger.

[@RoseburyATL]

The 80s are back in full force!!!! Awesome band

[@xoutofstep]

Been waiting SO long for this.

[@agreen182]

I’m so so so so happy to see them on KEXP. I hope they blow up, they deserve it so much

[@JustDave54]

Beautiful

[@Jason-bg7jc]

It's really interesting where they've taken their sound. I hope we don't have to wait another 5 years to see where they take it next.

[@Daniel-rm1kt]

watched this 500 times

[@da1newyorkg]

Love Now, Now

[@moviesquad73]

I love discovering a band with songs I really like only for said songs to be considered the "bad" ones because its different from their earlier material. I have yet to have listened to their older stuff but I really like the songs in this set. Especially MJ

[@umbreon5948]

She could sing anything and I would be a fan lol I think their new album has the same nostalgic feeling atmosphere with great storytelling as threads did with just an upbeat pop twist which is definitely fitting for her voice. Can't stay in the past!

[@backtoemocovers]

Amazingggggggg

[@kadarsarika1253]

Very nice

[@erikaoharadwashington5769]

So so good ... loving the vibe

[@batemanlife]

Really good, love the energy. You're having fun ❤

[@batemanlife]

I keep coming back to this video. Sounds so good.

[@CeloinSports]

Great band!

[@robertt153]

Excellent very mad that I'd never heard of this group before this

[@StopMoColorado]

That's how I felt when I first heard them in 2016. They came up in my KZbin feed, I was falling asleep in my couch and "Wolf" (if I remember correctly) came on. I opened my eyes, listened for a few seconds, then sat up straight, totally awake, and found the video with the whole Audiotree set. I was instantly in love with their music. I texted all my kids (I was 42 at the time, had two kids already moved out, all my kids are musicians with similar - but not the same - musical tastes as me). Two of the three immediately got into them, and my son did within a week, and now he and his fiance love them. Got to see them in Denver back in 2019 with my oldest daughter, and even my brother and his wife came out to see them, too. Saw them open for Maggie Rogers at the Mission Ballroom in Denver (she's not really my style, but the ticket price was worth it just to see Now Now again), but got to see them as the Headliner in Denver a bit earlier in the year, with Foxing, at the Gothic Theater. I loved both shows, but efinitely enjoyed that show more, mostly because the set was longer and I wasn't surrounded with annoying Maggie Rogers fans who wouldn't shut up while they were playing. Definitely in my to 5 favorite bands ever, now (now). I'm pretty sure I uploaded and audience recording of both Foxing and Now Now to archive d0t org, I'll post that link if I can find it. Still have the Masters on my computer, I've got a lot of live music I've recorded over the years. Once upon a time it was really hard to get a digital recorder into a venue, but nowadays the security people don't even know what one is when they see it, and everybody's got a Video/Audio camera with them anyway, and half of them are holding it up during the show already. Check my channel for their Gothic Theater concert, it's all there. The audio by itself sounds better, but it's honestly not too bad from my phone, too, IMHO.

[@StopMoColorado]

Hmm, not there anymore. Might have to upload it again. Really hope they tour again soon, they're my favorite band of the past ten years, probably, and I listen to a LOT of music and go to a lot of shows. My son's band was playing a lot, opened for some really great bands.

[@mar0112]

omggg I love you guys!

[@vaiano1]

this is reeeeaaaaally cool! thanks

[@fidelity5993]

That Jazzmaster is just beautiful

[@sebastian38200]

❤ KEXP & Audiotree ❤the best

[@agreen182]

Yes!!!!! 😄😄😄😄

[@michelzenitud5524]

Magnifique j'adore magnifique voix super ridme de musique un style sympathique j'adore ! 🌹😚👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸👌

[@ragmat7234]

its funny that people are always talking abt how they miss threads but no one hears the slight threads influence in almost all of the songs. they're small things, like the riffs and the notes of the guitars and sometimes even in the way they're using the synths. some of the songs are definitely more pop and further away from the lyrical beauty of threads, but that doesn't mean there arent any good songs on this album. powder, window and drive are incredibly good and carry some of the less pop vibes.

[@1thenatural1]

It's still Now, Now for sure, but it hurts not having Jess. Too bad they had a bad falling out after Jess and KC dated, broke up and tried to keep it hidden. I like a lot of the songs on Saved but I generally drive around listening to Threads with that crunchy, up-tempo guitar rather than Saved with all that synth/keyboard, which is odd because Saved has what 3-4 driving songs?

[@agreen182]

To me Set It Free is very very “Threads”. I’m glad they didn’t try to make the same album over and over. This record is fantastic.

[@agreen182]

naturallythe1 do you have any actual proof that’s what happened or are you just making shit up

[@clementine9063]

cool!!😊

[@chloeledean7064]

they're adorable

[@flyingcheff]

"Um....."the answer. lovely music.

[@chadnorth10]

fukin love this band

[@bobbyknobby494]

Long Time No See, Mr. John Richards

[@staygrateful3512]

woah

[@dobrybyeutra]

que sorriso lindo

[@Ayayron1998]

I love the new album and the old album. Maybe the new one a bit more. Could be album of the year for me.

[@marmosetfreund8506]

Great channel you are running KEXP, thanks for giving all this new talent a spotlight!

[@Aaaronicus]

Lol, now, now is not 'new' talent

[@stephenateca2335]

Now, Now's first album was released 10 years ago

[@rubyredz5663]

This is the band I went through high school adoring

[@__desculpa]

funny how not even herself was able to word how the songs were made I guess they just have really fucking good taste because there's nothing super glamorous about the compositions, and yet they are just absurdly hipnotizing. It really gets you in the zone right away and that's something I envy so so much as a musician their old stuff is pretty solid and unique compared to its contemporaries, but this album is unquestionably a masterpiece. I really don't care if they take another half decade to put out a new record, as long as it's at least just as good as this one

[@benoit152]

Nice musician and vocal remind me Little Dragon

[@10pct2_the_big_guy]

I love her dance style. I think we may be spirit animals 😆

[@winna4016]

👏🏾👏🏾❤

[@uselessfuse]

that pink guitar is too cool wtf

[@tamarachaconaedo3922]

♥️

[@flyingcheff]

Interesting questions John....cool.

[@jamessderby]

Saved is their best album!

[@mpres4119]

Forza Horizon 4 never forget - Love from germany

[@EthanRom]

I spy a bunch of closed minded ppl. If you open yourself up to all sorts of music imagine the endless songs you can enjoy. Don’t get obsessed about the past. Be in the now

[@talldudejoe1276]

Sometimes you part ways, but you just keep going.

[@japrar]

Man, he did like...zero research before this interview, and you can kind of see the disappointment on KC's face to be asked questions from their Wikipedia and/or the initial media run leading up to the tour. The best part was when he was wowed by them repeating to him that they were writing for 4 years. The second time she said that. I think this guy was having a rough day, but I miss the other interviewer.

[@ooLevityoo]

Jess was the technical guitar edge they had, as you can see from her solo projects before and after...So now Now Now have a dreamy emo mood but it's just not articulated as raw and delicately with electronic pop.

[@-IYN-]

forget the shoegaze period, this is how you should sound and perform! this is your style!

[@andYz00m]

This is sounding a lot like Haim to me. Great engineering as always.

[@rubyredz5663]

Old now now is the best now now

[@Christhyfy]

I really like them, but I miss their old vibes

[@lukecartwright535]

Exactly how I feel, looks like they're having a blast though and that's what it's all about I spose

[@Ashley-sn8mi]

Me too. They still sound great, but I miss the emo sound.

[@1thenatural1]

I like some of the newer sound but I feel like it's way too techno/pop and not as alt/punk sounding like Threads. Doesn't have to be a duplicate but its definitely missing Jess' punk roots, I'd say. There's hardly any guitar in Saved which sucks IMO​. Saved is good and has plenty of good songs, but it does sound a bit too pop/technoish from what Now, Now always was. Even before Jess, they had more of an indie/punk/alt feel. I think Saved suffers from too much synth/keyboard and not enough guitar when it comes down to it. Replace some of that keyboard/synth with guitar and it would sound much more like what we all loved.

[@giovannivillegas7842]

same

[@peterryabinin3829]

Pretty girl and nice soul. I like it.

[@kumbackquatsta]

i wish they did school friends!

[@HeckinBigBoi]

I love the new sound. This may sound bad, but I knew they'd be fine without Jess. So freaking good.

[@hardstylepikachu]

Stephen Fairchild I totally know what you mean! And she seems to be doing very well with her own music as Tancred. I’m happy both groups have found their groove.

[@HeckinBigBoi]

@@hardstylepikachu YES! Tancred is dope too!

[@portwain]

Thanks, I didn’t know about Tancred

[@rubyredz5663]

Are you fucking kidding me this is not even close to as good as threads

[@bonnibelmara]

Not as good as Threads......but damn these songs are good too. She's adorable! I wish they still did stuff.

[@southwest702]

Went from hearing them saying "Alvvays live" to "Now,Now live"

[@AndrewSmith-qw5kt]

I miss gazing at my shoes 😢

[@elbone1382]

They've changed so much since Cars. It's still good, but it's an entirely different band.

[@lettucerules]

CACIE IS SO CUTE

[@WhiteSlash_Guitars]

This might be weird, but I don't really like this band on studio versions... maybe the way vocals are processed... it feels like it's warmer in live versions. The live back then on audiotree was really good, and this one is too. :)

[@nosferatu9561]

Aways i came here to find a new band

[@chrispbacon7598]

WTF I just listened to the audiotree session. Is this the same band?

[@VagnerLima]

I need Threads II :(

[@kmm4499]

Vagner Lima ew

[@darkness988]

I kind of got my fix by listening to Julien Baker. Not exactly the same of course, it may not be the same for you, and certainly not everyone, but for me personally, it fulfilled that general urge.

[@billduffield9676]

The settings on MJ drown out the vocals which is too bad. It’s a great song!

[@tombstonechess2231]

Dont be that guy... Dont be that guy..... Dont be that guy *sweats* OK FINE!!! GOD I MISS OLD NOW NOW!!! I keep trying to listen to the new stuff but I just cant love it. The msuic isnt bad... It just sounds so genetic and forgetable now. Well anyway good luck to them. Im glad she seems like she is putting out more happy music now. Probably better for her.

[@camlong4114]

I only like sgl of these songs. I keep trying to get into the new album, but it doesn’t feel special like Threads did..

[@laihiuvivian]

Jess is like the presence of indie rock. Jess left the band so that's why it is like Brad's tunning + Cacie's melody.

[@JeffreyMorrison-k5q]

Josiane Track

[@WindsorHarper-y6v]

Farrell Parks

[@a54635]

threads is absolutely magic, the new stuff doesnt do much for me in comparison. it's sad they'll probably never make anything as good as that

[@koalabeaaar684]

Everything changed when Jess Abbott left. The lyrics and sound im just not into anymore
