SPIN just got around to naming Thao with the Get Down Stay Down “Hot New Band”, and Friend of the Umlaut Jonathan Ratcliff (see Ferocious Few 4.27.09) was picked to shoot her in San Francisco. Nice work, man!

Hear Thao MP3s on the Umlaut:

“Know Better Learn Faster” (via Friday Five 10.16.09)
“Swimming Pools” (via Friday Five 7.31.09)

Want more music? Rock out with the Umlaut every Friday.

Music: The Ferocious Few

Jonathan Ratcliff snapped this pic of San Francisco’s drum-and-guitar duo, The Ferocious Few, down on Powell & Market. What’s rad about them, on top of  their raw-ass sound, is that they play all around town. Like, on the street. A lot. Check their MySpace for dates and tunes.
