Don't let their name fool you, Now, Now Every Children might be kind of short, and kind of adorable, but their music larger-than-life.
Back before Now, Now Every Children was just a name, then-children Cacie Dalager (vocals, guitar) and Brad Hale (drums) started writing songs together after marching band practice in Blaine, Minn. Their first work of art well-wished a graduating friend from high school, but their musical queues were much more than greeting card salutations. Dalager and Hale began recording demos in their suburban basements, posting them on MySpace and gaining fans before they even played a show.
After signing to Afternoon Records in 2007, Now, Now Every Children released two EPs to critical acclaim: "Not One, But Two" and "In the City." Their lo-fi recordings in combination with Dalager's heartbreaking voice championed the attention of some of the harshest critics of all, their peers, earning a spot as a featured artist on MySpace, indie spotlight on iTunes, "Band of the Month" on Paramorfans.com, as well as features on NPR, Music For Robots, Said the Gramophone, and Absolute Punk.
"Cars," Now, Now Every Children's first full-length album was recorded and produced by the duo along with Afternoon Records founder Ian Anderson in a small Minneapolis studio in the summer of 2008. “Cars” is a series of poignant moments written by Dalager and Hale . Since then, they’ve toured extensively in the United States and Europe and have shared the stage with Mates of State, the Rosebuds, Say Hi, Cloud Cult, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin.
