The first time I heard Dinosaur Feathers I couldn’t help but blurt out “these guys kind of sound like if Del Shannon hung out with sweet little robots”– everyone laughed at me. These acoustic sets are proof that I’m right… or totally wrong. [More videos over on Big Ugly Yellow]

Last night Dinosaur Feathers celebrated their album Fantasy Memorial release at Webster Hall Studio with Darlings, Lonnie Walker, and Pearl & The Beard.

Dinosaur Feathers’ set consisted of nearly the entire album– a collection of folk pop made uniquely robust with Latin and African influenced electronic drum beats. Still a young band, Dinosaur Feathers could not look happier to be performing for such a full crowd. Even taking a drunkenly tossed PBR can with gracious humility, the humbling stage banter of Dinosaur Feathers rounded out an endearing set and party to send the boys off to SXSW.
