Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, the band led by Thao Nguyen, announced on social media today that the band is “dissolving” after over a decade of recording and touring together. “Thank you to all who have recorded and performed with us,” the band wrote. “Thao and Adam [Thompson] are each moving on to pursue other projects.” The band’s last album was 2020’s Temple, and they toured earlier this year.

Originally billed as Thao With the Get Down Stay Down, Nguyen started the band in 2003. Thompson was the only other consistent member of the group, whose first album We Brave Bee Stings and All was released in 2008 by Kill Rock Stars. It was followed by Know Better Learn Faster (2009), and the band signed to Ribbon Music for the releases We the Common (2013), A Man Alive (2016), and Temple (2020).
