Git down with Thao and the Get Down Stay Down

Thao Nguyen - Bag of Hammers
Check them out! As a partially Vietnamese person, I have a soft spot for indie rocker Vietnamese chicks. But Thao actually can play guitars and banjo like a real musician and sing with a sort of haunting soft smoothness. I really love how she incorporates the banjo but still manages to rock the song so it's not too folky, like in Swimming Pools. This chick is pretty insightful in her lyrics and sings of her struggles with relationships, societal roles, bee [...]

Thao Nguyen And The Get Down Stay Down

Thao Nguyen And The Get Down Stay Down Tuesday, September 29, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: I only managed to go 10-6 in my NFL game picks this week, but my fantasy football team emerged victorious and I got to be in Arlington to see the Dallas Cowboys get their first official win in that incredible new stadium. Not bad, yeah? It wasn't but a couple of weeks ago that I shared the first single from Thao Nguyen And The Get Down Stay Down's new full length, but this morning I awoke [...]

(Thao and the Get Down Stay Down - "Swimming Pools") YouTube Link Even though the name is Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, the backup band will be doing both the former and the latter when Thao Nguyen, formidable as a performer on her own terms, plays several solo shows in the fall as part of the Hotel Cafe Tour . One of those stops is in MPLS. But before all that occurs, she's got a few one-off festival dates with the Get Down Stay Down. See the rest of [...]

Thao "Swimming Pools"
Thao Nguyen BackseatSandbar.com presents the first of hopefully a plentiful series of concerts, the first of which is the amazing Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down , live at Skull Alley on Monday, July 21st. As I've mentioned before ( and thus the reason I'm putting this show on ) Thao Nguyen (pronounced "Win") is one of my favorite artists of the year, having released my top album of January on Kill Rock Stars, We Brave Bee Stings [...]

Coming To Cincinnati - Thao Ngyuen

If you are late to the boat, there is still room. What I mean is if you slept on the release of the amazing Thao Ngyuen album earlier this year, We Brave Bee Stings And All and then missed her performance here in Cincinnati not long afterwards, there is hope. Thats because Thao will be back in the Cincinnati area next month for a headlining date at the incomparable Northside Tavern. The show is July 20th, which falls on a Sunday night and I would encourage you to mark your calendars right [...]

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - "Swimming Pools" Video

Thao "Swimming Pools"
Easily one of my records of the year is the debut We Brave Bee Stings and All from Kill Rock Stars artist Thao and her band The Get Down Stay Down. It is full of charming, summery, pop choruses and dancing rhythms. All backed by lyrics about death, break ups and other dark things. The record manages to hold an edge all while being extremely fun to listen to. Here is the new video for one of my favorite tracks "Swimming Pools". It's vintagey (a word?) and shows just a bit of how [...]

New Thao Nguyen Video - "Swimming Pools"

May 22, 2008, 6:24pm Stereogum
Thao "Swimming Pools"
Thao Nguyen's We Brave Bee Stings And All last yielded the Play-Doh romp of " Bag Of Hammers ." In "Swimming Pools" the kids are still going wild, but it's more a Beat Street -style graffiti war (in a lo-fi sense). The clip, directed by Clyde Petersen, who also did "Bag Of Hammers," moves between friendly neighborhood bike rides, bouncy cowboy boot-accented performance footage, and various stencils and cut-out props (clouds, lightening, rain). Thao manages to get her tag up on a few storage sheds and the like, but her backing band, the Get Down Stay Down, [...]
