Concert Update: Thao Nguyen

I have been meaning to give Thao an appropriately epic write-up for weeks now; alas, my procrastination in the real world has caught up with me and I'm actually quite busy. So hold onto your pants--I'll lay down a real post on Ms. Nguyen soon enough. In the meantime, however, I'll be seeing her twice this weekend and thought I'd post the show times in case anyone in the area is interested.

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down (opening for Xiu Xiu)
Friday, April 11: The Echo [Los Angeles, CA]
Saturday, April 12: Bottom of the Hill [San Francisco, CA]

And if you don't mind mediocre videography or the supreme audio quality of a compact digital camera, have a look at the video I shot of Thao playing on the campus of UC Berkeley a few months ago:





A brief explanation: Thao (Teresa) is a high school friend--and former band-mate, of sorts--of the authors. She is now a rock star, which will be further elucidated later. Her myspace and official pages both have some free tunes to check out.
