When Thao was in kindergarten, misguided kids called her TOWEL...
Willis Thompson and Thao Nguyen met in a re-enactment in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. We found Adam Thompson one summer at a Richmond delicatessen, gingerly slicing. We got in a van together and stopped every night in different places. We got out, played music (often for real live people) and then got back in and rambled to the next town.
We recorded one album, drove around and flew to and fro, and then we recorded another. Both albums document the musical collaboration of many friends and colleagues and the efforts of one Thao to understand human interaction at all, ever.
When the band is on tour we stop at rivers and skip stones competitively. On days off, Adam bakes bread and prepares dinner while Willis builds percussive instruments using only bottle caps and intuition, and Thao awkwardly lifts the one 10-pound weight she has brought along to stay in shape for shows. Everyone watches the Food Network and the Discovery Channel together for dessert. The three of us share many hopes; most center around getting co-starring roles in a Mentos commercial and sleeping in separate beds while traveling.
We are very grateful for our musical lots in life and will always try our best to act accordingly. We thank you, very sincerely, for your ears, and your time, and your penchant for showing up and dancing.

Hey, I saw you guys play in Charlottesville at The Southern and you were fantastic! Thank you so much for coming to play in Spokane as we rarely get good live music here. Also, in the future you might consider playing at Pavillion Park in Liberty Lake, a small suburb just outside of Spokane. We'd love to have you!
The sound of the guitar is especially wonderful. Please listen to our music when there is time. take care of yourself.

Hi All! The show last night (THAO AND MIRA WITH THE MOST OF ALL) at the Mohawk in Austin was a treat. Thao mentioned during the middle of the set how "You may've noticed we've meshed both bands together..." Well, I DID notice. You all sounded like you'd been playing together for years, it was that tight. Vocal harmony was also amazing. Hope you keep up the collaboration well beyond this tour.
Hey Thao with The Get Down Stay Down, Your band rocks. I thank you for the add Thao with The Get Down Stay Down. Pls. keep up the good work. Keep Thao with The Get Down Stay Down high in the sky. Love You ALways.
