Thao & the Get Down Stay Down was an American alternative/ folk rock group. The group released their debut album We Brave Bee Stings and All in 2008, followed by Know Better Learn Faster in 2009. In 2013, they signed with Ribbon Music and released We The Common, which included the single “Holy Roller” and featured a collaboration with Joanna Newsom on “Kindness Be Conceived.” The band toured extensively around this period, including appearances at festivals such as South by Southwest and Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival.
