NOW (the band)

NOW could be described as catchy, contemporary, inventive, exotic, melodious and harmonious 21st century pop music.

In London, 1998, songwriter Justin Paton thought up a new group called NOW, so regular rehearsals were arranged with friends helping out on various instruments and NOW was born.

Along the way the NOW line-up has evolved to include the following:

Angela Last

Barry Woodcock

Justin Paton

Nicole Nagel

Richard Thomas

An album named "Frisbee Hotpot" is out on Pickled Egg records and an EP named "Oisheedy Anna" is available on Discordance records.

NOW have contributed tracks to various compilation CD, CD-R & vinyl recordings since 2001 and have collaborated with Damo Suzuki (a CD of that has been released on TRI recordings & named "The London Evening News"), Charles Hayward, Salvatore, Rebecca Closure, Man From Uranus, Resonance Radio, the Kosmische club and The Klinker plus support slots with Faust, Circle, Tunng, Psapp, Rothko, Plaid, A Hawk And A Hacksaw,,, amongst others.

yes, we play live, mostly in london but will play anywhere if offered rightness.
