Brooklyn based “pop cock-rock” band, Mother Feather, played Santos Party House on March 28th, along with a number of unconventional groups. The openers for the evening, Dolchnakov Brigade, set a wild tone for the night, handing out onions while having a gas masked man rub the pungent vegetables against members of the audience. When Mother Feather took the stage the crowd was ready for anything and Ann Courtney’s sequined and flower-chested dress kept the audience hypnotized. The third song of the night, “Beach House” off their recently released EP displayed a softer and more pop-driven side to the group, but Courtney made sure to complement every moment of vulnerability with raw energy and spit water into the audience twice, screaming and writhing. The song “Trampoline” had the crowd jumping and dancing (rare for a NYC show) and mimicking the singers’ dance moves. The power, precision, punk and glam of this group makes their live performance incredible, but manages to also translate well to their studio polished EP because of such insatiably catchy vocals and beats. – Chelsea Eriksen
