The first single from the album, "Untrue", is streaming on our soundcloud above.

House Party Benefit Show

As many of you may have heard, two weeks ago our van was broken into and most of our equipment was stolen (see a full list of the gear here). We've done everything we're supposed to do: file a police report, pursue all insurance claim avenues, search the Internet and music stores for the gear. Not surprisingly, we have not found any gear and both car insurance and homeowners insurance clams were dead ends. So, now we're looking for other ways to raise some dough and get the gear we need, so we can start working on our next record and tour in support of the new album we have coming out on April 10th. In other words...HOUSE PARTY BENEFIT SHOW!

House Party in Fort Greene, Brooklyn
(just email dinosaurfeathersmusic@gmail.com for the address)

Bands:

THIEVES!

Hello friends - Some time between Tuesday night (1/10) and Wednesday morning (1/11), someone broke into our van in Bushwick and stole just about all of our equipment. This is the list of our gear that is now missing.

We're working through all the proper channels (police, insurance company, etc.) to figure out what we do from here, but if you have any information about any of this equipment, please let us know. If you see something in a music shop or on Criagslist or eBay or whatever, feel free to contact us. Any help would be much appreciated.
