I sure wish I could have caught their live show in Council Bluffs, IA 7/8/16. Hope I get to see them, I'm so glad I discovered them not too long ago. I'll be a lifelong follower.
self psychoanalysis and reflections , that is an amazing way to open new worlds. i loved it. intrespection music. i was recall memories from early past of me, when i was in the sunday school and i didnt want it.. the music moved my connection to the subconsious directly, vibes for you
+Adrian Wolmarans They played on The World Cafe a few weeks ago and it gave me the feels. You could hear her actively choking back the tears. GREAT musicians getting the feels brings it all together.
+Cracka Kahn Just caught them at the Higher Ground in Burlington, VT earlier this week. I'm a huge fan, so we traveled 3 hours in the cold and rain to make the show. She is amazing, they played their hearts out and even though there was maybe 300 people there, the energy was fantastic, the music was exceptional and I would highly encourage anyone to see TGDSD at any opportunity.
I want to like this band, but I get the impression they are underachieving. The singer has a nice voice, but rarely changes her tone, and the lyrics are kinda mundane.
saw her open for julien baker back in 2021 and have been truly enamored with her songwriting and performing ever since she’s such an underrated gem
This material was still so fresh and raw for Thao when this was recorded. What an incredible performance.
Thao and the getdowns always give good KEXP. Great band
Astonished Man has been stuck in my head for about 5-6 days now.
thank you,KEXP
bringing this amazing band is a nice gesture
KEXP rocks. I've discovered so much good music through them over the years!

Just saw them live in New Orleans and you will be soooo blown away
Previously I have come looking for bands I know on KEXP live, this is my first new discovery through this channel. Thank you!
Thao is so talented
Love Thao so much!!!!! :D
Magnifique!
Fully under-rated!
Not a note of praise I give lightly, but I think that's one of the best band names of all time.
aw I love Cheryl! I just want to say hi to her :DD
hello new favorite band, you're gonna get along just fine with the people on my ipod. welcome♥
such a cute way to say it :)
beautiful radical act!
love them...LOVE THEMMM
Very powerful art
I've just discovered this band, you sound great! The style of Thao remember me so much Edie Brickell's
Killer headphone move at @2:45
if not for the mic the chord from the head phones would have muted the strings lol close one
+Dan Charlesworth Did shedo that intentionally?
+Baritone45 looks accidental haha
I love this
powerful
YES!!!
She's great!
Definitely sound better on record to me. :/ Still an awesome band! \o/
Cool stuff!
11:14 heartbreaking! I pray she finds wholeness and healing, it looks like the wound is still there. Poor girl. Cool music tho!
BRAVE girl to make art out of sorrow. Thao is twice blessed.
Wow! Thao sounds like Edie Brickell on Guts.
wow this is so fucking dope!
Does anybody know the model of the guitar Thao is using in the first song?
Reverend
+JoeJustJoe thanks buddy!
Yeah, I have a Rev. Flatroc that looks a bit like hers. Love it.
She sounds like early Julieta Venegas, pretty cool.
Is the singer singing as God in the song my hand to god?
Strange and a bit scary to watch when you know that she feels those songs so deeply.
+Adrian Wolmarans Right? She could hardly make it through that Song Exploder podcast about Astonished Man without being choked up the whole time

What exactly is Thao feeling? I don't know her stuff all that well but I love her so far.
Her estranged father’s death, for one thing.
opening like a deeper more raw cake
I like you girl
A bow to electric guitar? Ha! Cool..
the feel is there, just the blending and arrangement sounds kinda odd
@2:40 did she mean that!? She doesn't seem to give a damn anyway 😁
looks hot in black
the female version of red hot chilli peppers..

listen to their earlier albums. This one seems more eclectic
