///Whistle Tips/// New Album Out 4/10

With all the recent activity devoted to recovering our stolen gear, we failed to properly announce our sophomore album. Recorded last year with Eli Crews (tUnE-yArDs, WHY?, Beulah), Whistle Tips will be out on Tuesday, April 10th via Ernest Jenning.

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

PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM (CD or VINYL) at INSOUND.COM

We hit the road on Tuesday, February 28th for a 7 week tour that will take us across the country and back, including a stop at SXSW. Check out the tour dates to the right.

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!

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.

Dinosaur Feathers on SPIN.com

Just last week, we played what has to be one of our favorite shows ever at the Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh. As if not's that enough, SPIN Magazine was there and noted the shows as one of the 8 Best Moments of the entire festival. We're flattered...

SPIN's 8 Best Moments of the Hopscotch Music Festival

"Brooklyn's Dinosaur Feathers are plenty fun to listen to, but even more fun to watch. Between the mohawked drummer, left-handed bassist rocking a Hofner (just like Beatle Paul McCartney), and bespectacled Stewart Copeland look-alike on keyboards, they offer up a spectrum-ranging study in visual contrasts. Playing on borrowed gear at Kings Barcade on Thursday, they took the skittery rhythms of Vampire Weekend and rocked 'em up.

Their songs bounced back and forth between ambling groove and jittery sprint, featuring drums that verged on wildly overplayed. But it was cool, and the band dug the crowd as much as the crowd dug the band. "It's pretty cool for you to be here right when we started to play," guitarist Greg Sullo said. "We love you, Raleigh! We'll be back in October!" You could tell the crowd marked their mental calendars."

Playing w/ Man/Miracle @ Piano's on Wednesday

Our really excellent friends Man/Miracle are going to be in town Wednesday night. They're coming all the way from Oakland and they're really, really good. You do not want to miss a chance to catch them while they're here. And if you're up to it - we'll be playing after.

Don't Rent from HERTZ

I thought a Hertz Donut was when you twisted someone's nose. Apparently it actually involves renting from Hertz. A few months back, my parents rented a car from Hertz while on vacation. They got rear-ended in their rental car a few days later.

I figured this would be a pretty simple case. You get rear-ended, the person who hit you is responsible. Pretty cut and dry. Well, not when you rent from Hertz. They charged my parents for the damages and once Hertz got paid, they did nothing to pursue the guy responsible for the accident, even though my parents got all his insurance information and sent it to Hertz. Is this taking care of your customers? Not exactly. Is this doing what's right? Not exactly. 

In addition to Hertz clearly being lazy and greedy, they won't even provide my parents with an itemized bill for the repairs, which they need in order to dispute the charge. I guess, once Hertz got their money, they didn't think it was necessary to take care of their customers.

How does this apply to Dinosaur Feathers? Well, for one - it's my parents. And two, as our fellow bands know, things happen on the road. We have been forced to get a rental in the past because of car problems. So fellow bands - if you're in that difficult place in the future - DO NOT RENT FROM HERTZ. They will not take care of you if something goes wrong. Hurts, don't it?

If someone from Hertz happens to read this and wants to actually fix the problem, email dinosaurfeathersmusic@gmail.com and I can put you in touch with my parents. If Hertz decides to make things right, I'd even re-issue this post with an apology and perhaps even an endorsement. Until then, they won't see our business.

Live on KEXP Today

Tune into Seattle's KEXP today at to check out our performance on the Morning Show with John Richards.

We're on at 9:30 Pacific Time and if you're all worried that you don't get KEXP on your radio, you can check it out on the web: http://kexp.org/.

Oh Canada!

Every time we start a new tour, we resolve to keep people posted and every time, we fail. This is an attempt to make things different this time!

Yesterday, we made the perilous trip over the US-Canada border somewhere between North Dakota and Saskatchewan. It was one of the few stops we made on the 12 hour journey from Devils Lake, North Dakota to Medicine Hat, Alberta. It is truly big sky country out here and we watched some crazy storms. Luckily, with crazy storms and sunny skies come rainbows...
 

In just a bit, we'll be heading off to Calgary for the Sled Island Festival. We're excited about our shows and thankful that we found a place to stay!

If you haven't had the chance to check out our new single "Please, Please George" - there are still some free downloads available at our Bandcamp page.

New Single - Please, Please George

It's been too long since we've released any new music. But today we but an end to that foolishness and bring you:

Please, Please George



Stream it on our Soundcloud above or go to http://dinosaurfeathers.bandcamp.com/ where it is available as a free download for a limited time.

Love,
Dinosaur Feathers
