July Local Bands in Concert: Wild Ones and Mimicking Birds
Wild Ones started with Danielle Sullivan and Thomas Himes in 2009 as a synth-pop duo and quickly evolved to include bass player Clayton Knapp and drummer Andy Parker and produce its debut EP "You're a Winner."
Having toured with Modest Mouse and played at festivals such as Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza, Mimicking Birds is no stranger to large crowds. With lush vocals and a deeply toned acoustic guitar, their songs are ethereal, pensive and austere.
