Thao With The Get Down Stay Down playing Barfly
Another day, another exciting 2010 concert to talk about. This time it’s San Francisco-based Thao With The Get Down Stay Down, touring in support of their fourth, and apparently best yet, album. Their music is a sweet and sometimes chaotic: swirling, bramble-like vocals from Thao Nguyen that sound like the pleas of a fairytale princess; string sections that rise and fall in energetic fervour; punchy, punkish drums; and a general folk-pop sensibility, sometimes a lullaby, sometimes not.
The London date is Monday 1 February at the Barfly in Camden. Details and tickets here.
