Every now and then you hear a band that makes you pause for a few minutes or so to truly take their sound in. It’s new. It’s catchy. It’s a surprise. Today it’s Dinosaur Feathers. This band from New York does a lot with just a guitar, keys, and drum machine. Some facets of the Beach Boys, The Walkmen, and The Dodos come across when I listen. Pretty exciting stuff I must admit. So you’re probably asking what’s going on with little band? Releases? Tour? Well as a matter of fact they’ve just released a single for the track “Know Your Own Strength” on Family Records and they’re playing a few shows in the area. This Wednesday they are playing the Black Hole (***UPDATE Show Canceled***) here in Baltimore and on Thursday they are playing Solly’s Tavern in DC. Go see ‘em and support ‘em. Dinosaur Feathers definitely deserve an audience.

These guys need WAY more attention than they’re getting. I’m trying to bring them to Philly as one of my first “sponsored” shows.
