Thao with the Get Down Stay Down support Rilo Kiley, headline at The EARL 6/19

Fresh off a series of European and festival dates, Thao with the Get Down Stay Down begin a North American tour tomorrow night supporting Rilo Kiley. I've voiced my enthusiasm for Thao Nguyen and her band here before, so I'm even more excited for what follows the tour as an opener -- a couple of headlining shows including The EARL in Atlanta on June 19 (with Liz Durrett opening!).

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - Beat (Health, Life, and Fire)
Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - Bag of Hammers
Liz Durrett - The Mezzanine
