Tonight Thao, Sallie Ford, & the Noisy Loveliness
Posted by Anna Minard on Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 10:05 AM
(Neumos) These are some fantastic female voices coming at you here, with these two "Lead Singer's Name and the Weird Phrases That Aren't Plural Nouns Like Usual" bands. Thao Nguyen, who has made music with Mirah and Andrew Bird and these Get Down Stay Down people, is pretty fuckin' rad. I don't want to go thesaurus no adjectives for y'all—you've already heard of her, she's been singing since she was like 12. More importantly: On the newest TATGDSD album, We the Common, they have a duet with Joanna Newsom, and it is super-sweet and fast-paced and snappy, and I dig it so hard. Seek it out on those interwebs. Sallie Ford's voice is also great, scrappier and smokier, earthier and less ethereally pretty. I am forgiving her band for the suspenders and bow tie, but JUST THIS ONCE, GUYS. This is a good show if you want noisy loveliness, because that is what you're going to get.
