Puerto Rico ‘jungle pop’ band relocates to Brooklyn for music scene
A Flying Dodo Society Brings Imaginary Story-Telling Genre to City
At Pete’s Candy Shop’s dimly-lit Sunday open mic night, new Brooklyn talent, A Flying Dodo Society, was heard with an introductory and looming pattern of strums that hushed the packed room as they played their original song “We Ate the Sun.”
With the band’s eccentric lyrics and ’20s sound, listeners may have known that these folks are new to town.
A Flying Dodo Society members Maira Vergara, 29, and Federico Ausbury, 26, moved more than 2,000 miles from Puerto Rico to Ditmas Park with the intention of expanding their music careers.
