I expected Sunday night's Mountain Stage concert to be good, but even I was suprised at just how fantastic it turned out to be. The lineup was Anaïs Mitchell, Danielle Ate the Sandwich, Horse Feathers, Delta Spirit and Black Dub. Portland, Oregan "chamber folk band" Horse Feathers opened the show with songs from their latest release Thistled Spring . Led by singer-songwriter Justin Ringle, the band's current touring lineup is violinist [...]

HORSE FEATHERS myspace last.fm [mp3] Drain You Oh the things people do to Nirvana songs... Is this a musical sin or an aural delight?
The Oregon-based band Horse Feathers recently visited the fine folks over at They Shoot Music - Don't They to perform a couple of tracks. As you can see, the coffeehouse atmosphere led to some rather unusual audience interactions, as well as a great performance of two tracks from their latest: Thistled Spring . Check them out, after the cut: Here's "Vernonia Blues:" And here's "Thistled Spring:" You can visit Horse Feathers on their site , or [...]
Is it uncool to like Nirvana covers? Because this Horse Feathers version of "Drain You" has really been growing on us. It strips down Kurt's hoarse-throat grunge classic to an acoustic rendition including strings. It's emotional in a different manner but most of all, this one's fresh to the ears. Grab the mp3 below; it will be released as an A-side on their next 73. MP3: Horse Feathers "Drain You" (Nirvana cover) Technorati Tags: Horse [...]

Horse Feathers - Drain You Extrait du single Drain You/Bonnet of Briars (mp3 de Drain You par ici )
I really want people to stop thinking about the existence of Nirvana. They were pretty darn good, but it has passed, yet everyone wants to ride some iconic wave. I came of age in the general Seattle area when they were all the rage and those were good times, but I haven't put them on in over a decade and haven't felt at all deprived of interesting music to listen to. That said, you heard this Horse Feathers cover of Drain You? Fuuuuck. Horse Feathers- Drain You (Nirvana Cover) (off the Kill Rock Stars 7" [...]
THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Grinderman w/ Armen Ra Thursday, November 18 Variety Playhouse - 1099 Euclid Avenue NE in Atlanta 30307 Admission is $35 ADV / $40 DOS / Purchase Tickets Even the most ardent Grinderman supporter needs to be willing to suspend at least a little disbelief. The Nick Cave -led, Bad Seeds -backed band writes perilously dark, libidinous rock that is as filthy dirty and trashy as it comes. That such a feral, primal squall of [...]

Beginning in 2006 with their debut, Words Are Dead, the Portland, Oregon based Horse Feathers have churned out three LPs of pensive folk music for the Kill Rock Stars label. Last week the trio released the Drain You 73 (b/w "Bonnet of Briars"), their second 2010 release following the Thistled Spring LP last April. Nirvana [...]

Horse Feathers Cover Nirvana - “Drain You” I can’t recall ever wanting to hear a subdued, folk-tinged take on Nirvana, but — in the wake of a half-dozen listens this week — it seems Portland’s Horse Feathers will be turning a few heads (or at least mine) with their tension-building interpretation of “Drain You.” After bringing down the house with a live attempt this September, the Justin Ringle-led outfit put the Nevermind cut to tape for a 7-inch single, due next week alongside B-side [...]
Now that the Fun Fun Fun Fest has come and gone, one could argue the 2010 festival season is official over. Upset? Depressed? Relieved? A combination of the three? Then thank goodness another edition of our Friday Mixtape is here to save your weekend fro sheer boredom. We got new singles from Kanye West, Ducktails, Tennis, and Acid House Kings, plus remixes featuring Gorillaz, Holy Fuck, and Mark Ronson. And as always, our partner site Cover Me provides a ton of fantastic new covers. So listen and enjoy! Given how fast 2010 has flow by, summer 2011 will [...]
Toronto - Rather than talk about how it wasn't that much fun to have to line up at the Drake when we arrived at the venue a little early, then saw about an hours delay in the stated open door time, I would like to talk about how great it is to watch an entire concert from a couch. It's...it's pretty great. Sure, it may not have had a perfect sightline, and maybe it wasn't an ultra-plush number like those couches you see on the TV ads, but I barely moved my ass an inch from the time I planted [...]

Got a late night update yesterday on a video that I had been looking forward to from one of my Wisconsonian music friends Spencer Wells (get to know him here ). The video in question is a great live performance from Horse Feathers of their track "Helen" from the album "House with no Home". See it below: Horse Feathers - "Helen" from Spencer Wells on Vimeo . ~ You can find out more about this great album on the Kill Rock Stars page HERE [...]
