Thao Nguyen at Variety Playhouse, September 21, 2011
Right now, we're in the Winter Doldrums when a lot of good music generally does not pass through Atlanta. However, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down just announced their new album, We the Common, will be released in February, and in support of the album, Thao will go on tour with Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside. The tour comes to Atlanta's intimate Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta on March 18, for what is clearly a must-see show.
The vinyl version of the record is to include a limited edition 7” with covers of Melanie’s Brand New Key and The Troggs’ With A Girl Like You. You can download a copy of the album's first single, Holy Roller, from their Facebook page (you got to Like them first).
The bad news (at least for me) is that March 18 falls on a Monday in 2013, and what with my obligation to Monday Night Zazen, I won't be able to go. Are you sure about that?, ask Daniel Higgs and Om. Never say never, say I.
