THAO NGUYEN AND THE GET DOWN STAY DOWN (London Dalston Victoria, 29/11/13) 

 

There are some bands that don't grab you on record, but are always damn good value live. Thao and the Get Down Stay Down are one of them. Their bouncy, country-tinged indie-pop is twee and far from innovative, but their performances are so exuberant they could make Norman Tebbit dance approvingly.
