Now, Now’s KC Dalager will be releasing her debut solo album Think I’m Gonna Die, under her stagename KC Rae. The album comes out November 10, 2023, and there will be her first solo show ever on December 14th, at the 7th Street Entry.

We’ve seen Now, Now since they were known as Now, Now Every Children, starting in Feb 2010: “Now, Now Every Children was the headliner, and there’s really nothing ironic about their name – they are really young. Whoever said they were twenty-three is clearly smoking crack, they seem 18 and under. But that’s OK, they seem to handle themselves on stage like pros… and judging from their tour stories, it would seem that they’ve done a world tour.”

Chiodos’ former lead singer, Craig Owens, will be headlining the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on December 15th. Owens sometime performs under the stagename badXchannels.

The latter group (actually duo featuring Luke Eisner and Gus Ross) is from Los Angeles recently announced their song with Owens, called “Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You”… so, perhaps, Owens will appear, when they play this song live at the Fine Line.
