Wow. Another "official" word about signing on Universal, only this time coming from Sparta!

Thanks, fgirl!

The Features , from Nashville, bear comparison to the currently popular Canadians Hot Hot Heat. But they have a sharper garage rock turn to their sound and are visually way more interesting. The scary, hairy bassist, Roger Dabbs, seems to have escaped his Unabomber-style shack, wide-eyed and bearded, while the drummer, Rollum Haas, is equally fascinating, one minute tapping his hi-hat like a chopstick-wielding diner attacking his plate between courses, and the next, playing old-style disco beats at punk-rock speed. Meanwhile, the singer Matt Pelham's eyes shift from side to side like a cheap Japanese animation. They even have several decent songs, such as "Bumble Bee" and "Two by Two", none of which outstays its welcome. Great fun, and a band you'll hear more of.

That's really cool.

That article's great. I sure am glad that booing 6th graders didn't deter The Features from fulfilling their dreams of rocking out.

The article isn't bad.. but did anyone else notice that they got Roger and Rollum's names switched on the picture's caption?
Just felt the need to point it out.

Good call. I didn't even read the caption. I would assume everyone in that town knows Roger, though. I mean, c'mon, it's Roger.
