The Scene is Now is a New York City-based avant-garde no wave jug band from the 1980s.[1] Its founding members were Dick Champ, Philip Dray, Jeff McGovern (also of Mofungo), and Chris Nelson.[2] Influences included the Holy Modal Rounders, The Fugs, the no wave noise music bands DNA and Mars, and the traditional Americana of Bob Wills and Hoagy Carmichael.[1]
Their songs, most of which are compiled on the album The Oily Years, tend to be somewhat rough, lo-fi recordings. Their song Yellow Sarong was later covered by Yo La Tengo for the 1990 album Fakebook.[3]
Thurston Moore called the band's sound "drunken sailor music" as a compliment.[4]
