Thao with The Get Down Stay Down tour with The Head and The Heart, ditch Mirah because her name is too short

Thao with The Get Down Stay Down tour with The Head and The Heart, ditch Mirah because her name is too short

Earlier this year NPR and a few other trusted sources went gaga-googoo over Thao and Mirah’s collaborative effort of the same name (TMT Review), and it wasn’t just because tUnE-yArDs’ Merrill Garbus produced it (though that certainly helped win tepid fans over). Well, this news has nothing to do with Mirah or Garbus or anything like that. Sorry.

Today we cater, instead, to those who like their Thao the old-fashioned way, with a little bit of The Get Down Stay Down to keep ya warm on those annoyingly breezy Bay Area summer nights. And Thao, who’s called SF home for long enough now, knows better than most how to dress for such occasions. In fact, it basically feels like fall year-round there, so no wonder their tour kicks off as the autumnal weather hits the rest of the country.

On September 20, Thao and The Get Down Stay Down embark on a 23-date tour, most of which find them supporting the folky Seattleites The Head and The Heart.
