Cigarette will be played in its entirety for what will probably be the only time.
This is your chance to hit the country with us - hear some scorching rock while getting stuffed with stuffed chicken.
We have been tapped to close out the big show. Kids who sign up for the Rock Academy in Woodstock work for weeks to perfect their craft and put on a rock show at the end of the session. The teachers like to make it as immersive as possible so they asked us to close the night out. We did a show with this school (same school - I am assuming different kids - unless we are performing with the remedial rockers who've been held back a year or two- in which case - touché) a while back where they were playing the songs of the Butthole Surfers with Gibby Haynes himself in Brooklyn and had a wonderful time. There was this one super young boy who had ear cans on the whole time and was being super non descript till he jumped on stage and ripped a key solo that would've made Prince grin.
Giraffes will be back on the road for a weekend warrior bash out to chicago and back to celebrate Gary’s Birthday at Liars Club.
We are bringing you an excellent band that we met at the Liars Club in Chicago: Pink Frost. They rip (especially live). We met them at our old buddy Gary Kesslers birthday party and became fast friends so we are thrilled to bring them to our Brooklyn folk to make party big time.
Starting things off will be Sicco's Dissapearing Act which does indeed look weird and less than controlled which is one of my sweet spots.
Main drag is where we all go to get those special amulets and spirit infused tools and weapons that are always plus something in wounding and/or charisma. Ive gotten a bunch of stuff there over the yers and its always been great. get ready for a loud and intimate show for tru connoisseurs.
Also- we reordered vinyl for our Minneapolis trip so we will have Flower of the Cosmos and Usury vinyl in hand for this along with some new stickers.
Heads up Minneapolis, we will be deep in you 10/7 for darkness day @surlybrewing with a bunch of cool bands for a fly out gig. Yes we are probably a few hours drive away from you. Yes you should get a room. Yes I know you’re used to driving buzzed - it’s the Midwest after all… still tho… let’s keep the title metaphorical (mostly). It’s also the weekend of @aaron_c_lazar and @mrdamienparis joint birthdays. Let’s party #darknessday #giraffes #nycrock #princestoriessolicited
We are really looking forward to w weekend out in the country with possible charges.
Fair warning - don’t bring any US flags…
We will be taking a weekend trip upstate to the Catskills to play with our friends Live Skull
Roof topping it again in one of your favorite venues with our buds Live Skull
My old friend Yalan opened Double Happiness in her home town on Columbus and we will be closing the circle and playing there to and our little Chicago tour with fellow lifer Mishka and long time inspiration Brad Swinsky’s band the Most Falcons. He was the drummer of the Means and set the bar for tour machine for us.
Gary is turning fifty and thats the whole reason for this little tour of ours. This place is magic and has been our Chicago base of operations for years now. They keep our music in the jukebox and they have been complete sweethearts to us every time we have come through.
Youngstown is where i grew up and it holds one of the best venues we have ever played on tour - Westside Bowl. Youngstown has had a long history of cultivating venues that are way better than they need to be and this is no exception.
We are taking a ride with our best friend - Mishka Shubaly through Ohio and into Chicago starting here at the Union in Athens Ohio
Giraffes will be avoiding income taxes (for one night only) in Hamden CT on April 1st (no fooling). Joining us will be Carried by VI, Lamacchia and Audio Jane.
giraffes, live skull, austerity program at st. vitus 1/14/23
We will be traveling to Philly on a Thursday night to hit some bells and drink some cheesesteaks… yeah sounds legit. We are opening for our nephews Radkey who are an industrial sized bucket of rock n roll goodness.
keeping with the theme of what the fuckness forever...
In all honesty who doesn’t love a weekend in the country punctuated by live rock n roll and all sorts of fun and games.
It’s in Parksville NY a quick two hour and change drive up from NYC. Get yourself some air, some bird, and some kicks all at once.
