Thursday, 24th January 2013
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Road, Kings Cross, N1 9JB
Having grown up in the dusty beach town of Ballito, South Africa What Now performed their first shows at local venues and skate parks before branching out into gigs in Cape Town and Johannesburg, often thinking nothing of driving for 24 hours straight just to play a showIn their first year, they had recorded their first EP, designing their own artwork and printing the CDs at home - spawning a DIY ethic that has stuck with What Now ever since
Swapping sweaty summers and warm winters for the alluring lights of the London music scene, What Now left their homes, friends and families behind them and relocated to London
Soon after, they were asked to pen an experimental track for the soundtrack of CSI: NY. Upon completion realised that they had stumbled upon their new musical direction and set to work recording their second full-length album, Move Like A Sinner
The album is both a mission statement and a battle cry combined, and its release boldly announces a new era and a new beginning for What Now.
