Dinosaur Feathers announces new album & tour, coming to Raleigh

Brooklyn indie band Dinosaur Feathers are gearing up to release their sophomore album on April 10 titled Whistle Tips. Before the album even hits shelves, the band will be on the road which will bring them back to Raleigh (they played the Hopscotch Festival last year; see photos and a review HERE).

Dinosaur Feathers will play Kings Barcade in Raleigh on Saturday, March 3 with Grandchildren. The show is co-presented by Diggup Tapes and tickets will be $3.

With only two acts to choose from in the 8:30 slot, Kings Barcade was packed for the energetic Brooklyn band Dinosaur Feathers. For a crowd that was still warming up, Dinosaur Feathers was a great way for people to dive head first into Hopscotch.

The band’s combination of world influences, dance pop and aggressive guitar playing slowly got the crowd dancing. Dinosaur Feather’s music is contagious enough, but seeing lead guitarist Greg Sullo and bassist Ryan Michael Kiley thrash about on stage makes them impossible to resist.
