Tennessee indie heroes, The Features, are playing a benefit show tonite at The Valarium. Tickets are $10 and are only available at the doors so make sure you get there early. The show is sponsored by WUTK and will be helping pay for local musician Brock Henderson's recent medical bills. Along with the Features will be the Brockefellers, Ian Thomas, and J.C. and the Dirty Smokers.
The Features have been around for a while now, but are just recently getting the recognition that they deserve. Their first album, the self-titled six song EP, was released in 1997. Since then they have released 3 EP's and 2 Lp's. In 2001, they recorded and released Contrast EP. All of the touring and buzz surrounding the band led to a record deal with Universal. However, after refusing to cover the Beatles' "Love" for a credit card commercial, the label dropped the features. Recently, Matt Pelham (guitar, vocals), Roger Dabbs (bass), Mark Bond (keyboards), and Rollum Haas (drums, percussion), were signed to the Kings of Leon's imprint label and released their latest album to date, Some Kind of Salvation.
