    Photos by Bobby Nicholas IIISunflower Bean made last Thursday night’s show at The Warsaw in Brooklyn, announced as its only New York City performance of the year, count. From the tone-setting rocker opener “Champagne Taste” to a lengthy encore in which the band and support act Gift played a cathartic version of David Bowie’s “Heroes” together, the set was a proper celebration of a band with more than a decade of NYC history under its belt and a new album out that might be its best yet.

Frontwoman and bassist Julia Cumming and her longtime partner split up. Drummer Olive Faber came out as transgender and started a new band. And guitarist/vocalist Nick Kivlen moved to Los Angeles, meaning one-third of the New York City band was no longer at home.

    That Little Feat has made a 17th album is more than a minor miracle. That the release from the nearly 60-year operation is brimming with vitality and gaining notice from the persnickety critics at the New York Times and Rolling Stone might defy explanation.
