[elruchito]

@KatLovesGothBoy KRS? Ever heard of KRS-One? Let google be your guide.

[hebrewsfl]

@elruchito what about KRS?

[elruchito]

@hebrewsfl

one of the band members has a KRS sweater on and katlovesgothboy had no idea what that references.

[hebrewsfl]

@elruchito krs is that nigga

[thepuddums]

She's really cool, she seems very carefree, i think it's fun what she sings! All the time.. :)

[aznboiXIII]

i'm glad you're music is my little secret...

[gomasiophile]

I love this song. Love, love, love. But the vid looks nothing like I imagined.

[hbash089]

how do they get the video to look grainy like that exactly??

[mattsgotslacks]

@hbash089 if it was shot with film then it probably had a really high iso (which just means the film gets exposed to light really quickly) or if it was shot with a digital camera than its just an effect added on in some sort of editing software

[HotTimeHarv]

@hbash089 There's all sorts of programs to get an old school look. You can even add in film scratches. Cheers...

[theguythatsings]

This video is perfect. This music is perfect.

It is: PERFECT!

[00fyi]

i really like thaos songs but i never can figure out what she is saying

[pledtron]

song is terrible

[Hipster420]

@pledtron Troll 

[Hipster420]

@pledtron Troll 

[omgoreo123]

What genre would this type of music be consider as?

[xThunderclapsx]

@omgoreo123 Folk/indie.

[Protectourbioshpere]

@omgoreo123 Awesome?

[nine0rowan]

@omgoreo123 new folk? - reminds me of Regina Spector.

[Paintz921]

<3 Ifter listening to this song everything feels better.

[ingridsouza1989]

come to Brazil, will be a pleasure to see her sing!

[aladdinsane1968]

She kind of reminds me of the energy that Natalie Merchant had in the early 90's.

[converse48]

she looks so sexy in those boots.

great song, great band

[way2cute2Btrue]

[12345blondie]

I love your voice.. I'm Currently obsessed with you guys!

[Battlefronthero]

dear thao, i heard this song last year after downloading it on my psp, ive since fallen in love with you and your band, i'm gonna use your band name in a song im writing for music theory in school. I know you probly dont care but im giving you the heads up! love your biggest fan

[meruggiero]

Her voice is oddly plaintive and appealing, and surely unique in flavor. I dig her..

[TopDung]

OMG

[pumpkinhead625]

Well, it's different. Kind of quirky. Gotta love the rhythm banjo too.

[burlaybae]

i love their folkness.

[dakonaisakoala]

This is music.

[ilovetheknife]

Bag of Hammers caught my attention, this song completely hooked me :)

[Protectourbioshpere]

@ilovetheknife Listen to Chivalry :)

[DoolittlesRevenge]

This song straight-up rocks the banjo.

[carbonxdating]

@DoolittlesRevenge Mumford and Sons - "Little Lion Man"

[MissMatania]

when i'm listening to this song i just want to jump on my sofa with a little bottle of beer in my hand. i like the mood!

[itsokayimaninja]

i go ape for this song

[longlivethefuture]

I adore this!

[seattlejenny77]

i just saw her show. i could see her sing every night and never be bored!!

[poophead3456]

She seems like a very cool girl.

[ramesollin]

nice video........ thanks

[Badlydrawnbas]

This video works. well done.

[thaosunny]

i have the same name as her ^_^

[HELLLA]

is your last name nguyen or ngu or something? lol

[thaosunny]

yeah, it's kinda an honour :D

[teatimecrumpet]

too bad she had to drop it to seem less asian

[cqwc]

her first name is still thao -_-

[teatimecrumpet]

but thao is fairly ambiguous.

[teatimecrumpet]

The vietnamese-american thanks you for being so well informed. I couldn't say the same about the rest of the country.

[unclejemima0]

lol that's a pretty wild statement

[JonathanPhillips]

I guess it's an acquired taste.

[gaspsKEVIN]

Hellla good.

[HELLLA]

hellla

[rodrigoyiyo]

this song is amazing

[hippiejae]

my fav song!

[coalmines]

thao is amazing and i've played in that white room!!!

[tessia11]

THAO'S A BADASS.

[thespookyone65]

Lyrically and musically, THE BEST SONG on youtube in the past year.

(plus, a smokin' hot band, and a helluva sexy singer!)

[accidentalstarrs]

I couldn't agree more.

[killingspree]

this reminds of "the thrills"

[darkopacity]

I love this! Thao, you're awesome sauce!

[ralujk]

"awesomesauce" doesn't cover it

[gracewatchesvideos]

Seriously, she's like, amazing home-made Texan BBQ sauce.

[Daft8Punk]

VINTAGE FTW

[piloerecter]

this song reminds me of the thrills.

[smilelikeadork77]

so your songs are too awesome. ahhh! love your bike!!!! hahaha

[Quadkite]

They're so naughty!

[LenvanHeerden]

Great song...but also love the music video...lo-fi.

[dashthecurry]

sorry, but definitely a thumbs down for the DMB comment

[ilovemutemath]

this song is great, but I think the video should have to do less with the song, you know?

It's still sweet because it looks vintage.

[msc25]

awesome thao, you're the best viet-american singer I've seen yet. bought your album and it's great, any chance you will come to honolulu?

[artschoolbabe]

your comment is cute. it reminds me of the "most beautiful girl..eating a kabob" flight of the conchords song...:) at any rate, thao is the best all around!

[taintpuncher]

Frank Stewart's acting abilities are second only to Pacino in Scar Face.

[craigertigre]

cautiontiger is the master of guitar disaster.

[seanvan92]

saw you open for rilo in austin the other night, incredible show

[nightworm]

saw you open for Rilo Kiley tonight in Dallas. Never heard of you before, but you tore it up proper and now I'm a fan. your check is in the mail.

[hellokitty826]

I loved the ending when she hit all the guys in the band with her banjo. Her expression was cute.

[cacciato66]

dep gai qua

[banjony]

rock that banjo girl!

[Ecka0007]

like the style - unique vietnamese style - not very many in the western world. i just love it.

[ahanhbarbie]

LOVE THIS SONG...simply awesome

[ronnie4489]

great sound; i would not expect anything less from the label that gave us elliott smith.

p.s. the guys in this band are cute :D

[destructorcreator]

Yeah, I think Kill Rock Stars are probably quite conscious of the benchmark Smith left behind - luckily, they seem to be keeping the quality up, Bee Stings is an incredible album.

[Kaowaii]

not bad, something different.

[thespookyone65]

simply floored by thao. not only does the music rock, she writes some of the most incredible lyrics ever.

[whitestkidyouknow94]

dude i love it

she reminds me of tegan and sara

[vomitproject]

best effing vdo ever.

[shure8]

The best Viet-American female banjo player in the world!

[Hipster420]

Love it! 5 stars ;)

[JamesWorldStudios]

lol at the beginning, why would anyone say get down, stay down after ?

[hitherebrian]

that's the name of the band... thao and the get down stay down.

[JamesWorldStudios]

I know that, I am not stupid, I was just saying... No one would run up and say that afterwards, unless they know each other.

[JamesWorldStudios]

And I know they know each other in real life. So dont reply as "well they do know each other"

[FightingForSanity]

wth are you asking? they're just writing their name on the wall like she did. i don't think there's suppose to be a story behind it. anyways very well done, keep up the good work!

[thespookyone65]

'cos that's the name of the band.....

[GARYTEXAS]

This video is sweet? no it ain't it's a lotta good thangs but, sweet, damn why not just say cute or nice

[chodaboy51500]

Sweet is colloquial for excellent in some places. From the post, I'm pretty sure that is what sammo means. And I agree :)

[sammo7167]

This video is sweet. Good work everyone involved!
