I caught The Features at SXSW in Austin in 2009. Someone I met at random sent me that way because it was one of his favorite bands and I could sense his enthusiasm. I remember liking the show and also meeting a writer from a TN newspaper who gave me some background.

At Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco last week, I stole a Features flyer from the wall of the tee-tee. Sorry. Have a nice visit and I hope to make it to the show.

In a somewhat related development — and see above for Austin Powers and “Who Does Number 2 work for?” riff and post and riposte — I am trying to get a Warm Weather photograph from the lovely and prolific Simmons sisters of Sunset in the Rearview blog. Lydia Simmons went to Duke but her Grampa was a Dartmouth man, the legendary Mr. Ripley. (And I still think related to Ripley Believe It or Not — also has a Dartmouth thread, at least).

Note the sing-along saturation below, always the sign of a local fave; they are TN’s answer to The Mother Hips perhaps: Also, I may have to post the same song by a fan, a cover:
