Thao and the Get Down Stay Down (Adam Thompson on bass, keys and additional guitar, and Willis Thompson on drums and percussion) return with the follow up to their critically lauded album, We Brave Bee Stings and All, the best-selling record of 2008 for Kill Rock Stars. With super-producer and friend Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Bill Frisell, Spoon) again at the helm, Know Better Learn Faster captures the band as their more mature, tastefully raucous, subdued and musically adventurous selves. The new batch of songs spans all genres and influences, all the while staying faithful to their distinct style and enamoring exuberance of their renowned live shows.

Reed KD spent the majority of 2007 and 2008 living out of VW Vanagon, traveling the country and writing the new album. He recorded his new album, In Case The Comet Comes, in his Northern California bedroom with a couple of good mics, a laptop, and some friends. NPR recently compared him to Paul Simon and Elliott Smith.
