Tour is over. Recording has begun.

After four-straight weeks on tour, with 7,413 miles, we had no break-downs, no break-ins, no speeding tickets, no illnesses, and only one Boston-issued parking ticket. Our infinite thanks are extended to everyone that came out and played a part in making this such a memorable trip!

From Minneapolis to Tybee Island, to Austin and through Canada, we’ve just landed in the Catskills of upstate New York, and over the course of the next two weeks will record our brand-new full-length album.

March tour dates, “Salvation Army” video, and more…

Hey everyone – Dan here. So Much News! We are super excited to finally be able to share all of our March tour dates. We are hitting the road with Young Buffalo for the first half of the month, then spending 4 days in Austin for SXSW, and then playing 9 shows with Mount Moriah in support of their new LP on Merge Records. We really couldn’t be more excited. Click over on “concerts” to see all the dates.

Click “films” to see a live video for the new song “Salvation Army”. It was recorded on December 18th at Turner Hall in Milwaukee.

If you use Twitter, please follow the band at @blessedfeathers. The band are getting a new cell phone that wasn’t made in the ’90′s and I’m sure they will have some interesting things to say from the road. And if Facebook is more your thing, make sure to “like” us there. Big news will be posted here, but more of the day-to-day things end up over there. See you in March…

So glad to be back in Brooklyn! We’re here all week long, playing the Brooklyn Vegan, Bowery Presents, and other showcases. Plenty to come see this week at CMJ.

Blessed Feathers & Peter Wolf Crier Cover Red Hot Chili Peppers!

We’re not exactly sure why or how this happened, but here are the facts:

1. Peter Pisano worships John Frusciante.
2. Donivan Berube worships RHCP.
3. Jacquelyn Beaupre’ despises all of the above, but proved herself a good sport.
4. Peter drove up from Chicago. Everyone met in downtown Milwaukee, with pie.
5. Several hours later, this is what was.

Recorded by the madly intelligent Nicholas Elert.
Documented by the painfully handsome CJ Foeckler.
Mastered by, well, his name is Joe Lambert.

Stream, share, comment, and browse photos from our special little collaboration below. And just be glad we didn’t do ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik.’
