by ChefMichael57 on 6/1/14IRVING PLAZA - NYCThe WILD FEATHERS self titled debut album dropped in August of 2013. I loved the album - it's solid from start to finish. Then it was off to You Tube for some visuals. Many times the new bands don't have a lot of vids up yet which can be challenging as far as circulating their work via social networking. If your a band and you don't have at least a couple of good vids up your missing out on a massive tool to grow your fan base. They don't have to be fancy- the band playing live or in a radio station studio are great. Many times these are better than fancy- artsy- official videos. SOUND QUALITY IS HUGE when posting a vid. Anyway- the WILD FEATHERS had a bunch of great vids in place so good for them. Next- see them live! Conveniently they were opening for ZZ WARD a month away so I got tickets. The IRVING PLAZA besides being an iconic club is also one of my favorites. It's a medium size club around 750 capacity. First rate club! Never had a bad club experience there. The WILD FEATHERS put on a great show especially for a supporting act. I was a little disappointed that RICKY YOUNG did not join the band for the meet and greet after their set. I kinda got the impression from his aforementioned absence and body language that his ego needs some adjusting. Just my perception! Originally it was the FEATHERS that drew me to this show. But by showtime I had developed a real liking for the work of ZZ WARD as well. Needless to say we stayed for her set and she was outstanding! I love it when I can see two up and coming talents in one show!
