I saw The Features play as part of the International Pop Overthrow Festival last night in Brooklyn. With the format of 8 bands in the 4 hour show, their set was limited to about 25 minutes, but they made the most of their time on stage. They played 7 songs:

1) Week One
2) Leave It All Behind
3) See You Through
4) Blow It Out
5) Exorcising Demons
6) God Save Rock & Roll
7) Thursday

This was the first time I've been able to see the band since April, and it was a great (if short) show. The crowd got pretty into it, and they got a much better response than the native Brooklyn band that followed them. I stayed for about 4 or 5 bands and The Features by far outshined them all. It was great to see them again, and I hope they make a return trip to NYC soon.

Wow, that is probably the most solid short setlist I've ever seen from The Features. I guess they took this one pretty seriously. Always glad to hear them wining over fans coast to coast. Thanks for the review bizzarro lawnwrangler!

I agree with both of you guys- I had been daydreaming about what would be their most "winning" set and they hit every one. The only one I thought of that wasn't played was Circus, but I wasn't even sure that would win people over.

It's always a good show when they start with Circus though.. cause it's got a powerful intro and Matt's scream starts the show

So true.

I love this setlist. Like a better version of the DitD show that was my first.
