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.

DINOSAUR FEATHERS ON A BOAT

You heard right. We're playing on a boat. Thanks to the radical people at Rocks Off, we're going to be playing with Snowmine aboard the Half Moon.

Departing from the Skyport Marina @ FDR and East 23rd at 8 PM, we'll cruise down the East River and drop anchor under the Statue of Liberty, at which point the concert will commence. It's going to be a beautiful night, but it's not a big boat - so, get your tickets now: TICKETS.

This could be you...
