I wouldn't say they're repetitive. The record they're touring off of is very cohesive, so each tune in their 6-7 song opening set just has a similar vibe. If you want to listen, here are five diverse Now, Now songs:

- "Giants"
- "Dead Oaks"
- "Shifting"
- "Wolf"
- "Friends With My Sister"

shit, i liked them when they played with MCS in seattle. this is awesome.

At first I was bummed because I thought that Prehistoric was the only song they played, which is good, but I really wanted to hear Thread or Lucie, Too. Thankfully they played Thread. I absolutely love this band.

True statement. More adorable-ness can be found at this awesome fan-run Tumblr.

Love this band. Vocal performances were pretty bad on "Thread" though. Especially the back-ups.

Love to see this band grow. I'm glad to see them getting some of the recognition they deserve!

i would've perfered if they had played thread but it was awesome anyway seeing them get some attention

The song they showed on TV was Thread.

Goddamn, I love that album. AOTY.

Awesome that they got to do this! Great band

They also played "Thread" as the song that aired on television last night. It can be seen here.

I literally thought the same thing when I saw a Ampeg cab without any of them playing bass. I do this live through an EQ/DI rack & maximizer into the PA. The results are pretty great considering it's an bass emulator. However, if you were to run the signal through a real bass cab and head like they do, you can hear the awesome results. It might feel unnatural at times since you wont get those sutle nuances from a human playing, but like CallMeTro said, it's likely they can't afford a touring bassist.
