My Favorite Band Is Herrerasaurus

Herrerasaurus, a folk pop guitarist/bassist duo, performing at a gig.

Herrerasaurus is a lesbian folk-pop duo – two moonlighting science communicators, characterized by tight vocal harmonies and a quirky-yet-sentimental songwriting style. In addition to their growing catalog of originals, they've got an eclectic cover repertoire; you're equally likely to hear them play the Everly Brothers or a Scottish folk ballad. If that interests you, then read on – they've got some NYC-area gigs coming up!

This clip is from Almost Victorian, a song with a bold stance on whether or not it's flirting to read someone bioecology papers while they infodump at you about a wizard game.

Anyway, if you're in the New York area, you are lucky enough to have several opportunities to catch the duo or Clara at a live show in the coming weeks:

Clara is appearing in a songwriter showcase at the Shrine World Music Venue in Harlem
