SXSW 2023: Thao at High Noon, Austin (15 Mar 2023)

Read More SXSW SXSW 2015 is taking place March 17‚Äì22, 2015. We love this time of the year, as many bands heading down to Austin will likely stop in Minneapolis before or after the event. .... Thao We kind of lost track of Thao & the Get Down Stay Down since the pandemic happened… but you know we’ve always been supportive of Thao Nguyen ever since we heard about her in January 2008 …

It’s that time of the year again: SXSW in Austin, Texas. This time of the year, we all benefit from all the bands in Austin, because many of them will be heading to our local venues after SXSW. It looks like things are back to normal, coming off of a terrible two-year pandemic.

Brody is currently at the Paste Magazine / Ilegal Mezcal showcase at High Noon, just east of downtown Austin. Bands are playing 30-min sets, both indoor and outdoor stages.

Currently Thao is setting up her set.

Thao (27 Oct 2013)

We last saw Thao & the Get Down Stay Down in Oct 2013 and said, “This truncated set featured a lot of new songs, taken from her latest release We the Common, including "Holy Roller" and "Every Body". The new material, as I discovered it hearing it live, is more aggressive than her folk songs from her previous two albums. Although the set was shorter, Thao display her talent for all things strings: jumping from guitar to acoustic to banjo to steel guitar. It was fun to watch the transitions.”
