There're two bands under this name:

1. A Los Angeles-based dream pop and shoegaze band composed of husband and wife duo, Daniel Knowles and Jennifer Farmer.

The Know began in late 2018 when Daniel Knowles suggested to his wife, Jennifer Farmer, that instead of traveling home for the holidays that they stay put and try to create music together, just the two of them. For the next few weeks, they isolated themselves in their home studio and started the band which was officially launched in 2019 in Los Angeles, CA.

Daniel Knowles records, produces, mixes, masters, and plays all of the instruments on the recordings. He was previously a producer and guitarist for UK shoegaze band Amusement Parks on Fire. Jennifer is the lead vocalist and serves as a co-writer for the band. She also directs all of the band’s visuals and music videos.

The Know's first release was their lead single entitled 143 which was premiered by FLOOD Magazine and The 405. It was met with critical acclaim and made several “best of 2019" lists including Nicorola and DKFM. The single is also being played on BBC Music Introducing East Midlands & Sveriges Radio P3 in Stockholm.

In January 2020, the duo released their second single entitled Hold Me Like You Know Me which garnered comparisons to Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks.

2. An American power pop and new wave band founded in the 80s.

The Know was formed in 1978 by Gary Valentine (founder member of Blondie), along with Joel Turrisi and Richard d'Andrea (ex Motels). The first band to play the infamous Madame Wong's Chinese restaurant-turned-new wave venue, The Know released a single - "I Like Girls"/"Dreams" - in 1980 on Planet Records, and were the only bi-coastal US "power pop" band, developing large followings in New York and Los Angeles. Failing to secure an album deal, Valentine disbanded The Know in 1981. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
