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.
Gary is the man.
Hometown hang people
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

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.
