Thao Backstage ::: photo by Abbey Thao & The Get Down, Stay Down was one of my favorite discoveries of Bumbershoot this year. Despite her petite stature Thao is commanding on stage, with songs so catch you can't help but sway-especially on a beautiful Seattle summer day. Thao has the voice of Chan Marshall/Cat Power without the instabilities that makes all Cat Power shows an utter crap-shoot. It is not the voice or the songs that you expect to come out of Thao and her band at all, but they own them-just as they [...]

mr. Gnome (lowercase spelling and all) is a Cleveland duo of vocalist/guitarist Nicole Barille and drummer Sam Meister. Following the release of their newest album, Deliver This Creature, Barille and Meister have begun to draw some hefty musical comparisons: Cat Power, Portishead, Blonde Redhead, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down and Death Cab round out the list. The duo's newest video for "Night of the Crickets" is animalistic, a bit morbid and well, kind of creepy-- Barille's raspy female voice laid atop the somewhat psychedelic percussion of Meister works and keeps you [...]
Artist Name: Thao and the Get Down Stay Down Hails from: Falls Church, Virginai Sounds like : Bjork, but without, like, uh, the weird shit Latest Release: We Brave Bee Stings and All Thao, and the Get Down Stay Down, have pulled off quite a coup on the cold, darkness of my heart. See, in most situations I'm not prone to the sort of cutesy singing you'd expect from a Swedish ex-pat who's album is entitled We Brave [...]
Hey all, Stark is heading to Seattle, not for musical purposes, but rather to celebrate a wedding. We are hoping to perhaps meet up with a few Kill Rock Stars personnel albeit that may be easier said than done. Please check back next week for our exclusive Ezra Furman interview. We like him. He is funny. You will soon like him too. Also we will be reviewing the Thao /Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson ( MBAR ) show at the [...]

The woman behind Russian Red , Lourdes Hernandez, is a gifted 22-year old with a truly astounding voice. When I listened to her most recent album release, I was struck by its dimensionality. I think you'll find she is absolutely charming. With a full-bodied melody, I give you "They Don't Believe." Russian Red - " They Don't Believe " (mp3) And now for the shuffle: Tobias Froberg - " Blissful " (mp3) Ben Lee - " Catch My Disease " (mp3) * A Bring Me Up [...]

stoically maintaining his total lack of care for that band that is oh-so-popular this week, mr. mammoth wants to tell you about thao nguyen 's new album in a friendly, conversational, and possibly mocking fashion. mr. mammoth hopes that that is okay with you. like most children, thao nguyen was born. twelve years later, she picked up a guitar. unlike many children who played guitar, she didn't use it to get chicks. or give it up after college. no, she stuck with it - thao ain't no quitter. in addition [...]
