Austin Band on the Rise: Feathers open for Depeche Mode at SXSW

Are they called Feathers because their electronic beats mixed with the soft voice of Anastasia Dimou cause you to feel like you are flying through the city on a windy day? Probably not. The Austin band formed in 2011 after leading lady, Dimou, moved to Texas by way of New York and met three other lady musicians. Their new album "If All Now Here" will be out later this year but you will have multiple opportunities to check them out on their home turf during SXSW – most notably they will be performing at the exclusive Yahoo! Music show featuring Depeche Mode, a band they date – at least musically. For a quick reference on their other showcases see their cover photo on facebook. – Courtney Pierce
