Now In Service brings a unique blend of progressive rock and pop to the holiday season.
Toronto-based indie trio Now In Service is adding a playful twist to the holiday music scene with their latest release, “Santa Gave Me A Wedgie on Christmas Eve.” The track marks a joyful milestone for the band, fulfilling their bucket list desire to craft a song that brings smiles during the festive season.
With a classical piano background, the band’s frontman, Paul Kako, spent the ’80s and ’90s playing in various bands, exploring the depths of his keyboard and vocal talents. Before forming Now In Service, Paul performed at events like the Toronto Beaches Music Festival, further establishing his musical roots. After a two-decade hiatus focusing on family, he returned to music full-time five years ago during the pandemic. Now In Service was born, providing a platform to blend progressive rock and pop—a combination that results in catchy hooks and energetic performances.
The band has already made significant strides, including a standout performance at the Toronto Beaches Music Festival and gracing the stage of the iconic El Mocambo in Toronto, where they played to a capacity crowd, solidifying their presence in the local music scene.
“Santa Gave Me A Wedgie on Christmas Eve” is a lighthearted narrative about anticipation and unexpected surprises. The protagonist waits eagerly for Santa, hoping for a special gift. Just when it seems like Santa might not show, he appears with a humorous twist—a “teeny weenie wedgie.” Not to be outdone, the protagonist plans to return the favor the following year.
While details about the music video’s production remain under wraps, fans can expect a visual experience that complements the song’s whimsical nature. Keep an eye on the band’s official channels for its release.
Listeners can stream Now In Service’s music across all major platforms and watch their videos on YouTube. Their unique sound—a fusion of progressive rock and pop—is a refreshing addition to any playlist.
