giraffes? giraffes!
 
hey all
just for those who have missed this underrated band.
This live video fucking kills ME.
6 minutes of sheer unadultered mathrock EXCELLENCE.
enjoy

and if you want to learn more about them, this is where it's at!

atsonicpark 09.17.2008 10:11 AM

Yeah I have some album of theirs with really long stupid song titles. Did that come out this year? My friend sent it to me a few months ago cuz he knows I'm into this kind of stuff..... Stupid band name, stupid song titles.. but really good math rocky stuff with some weirdness thrown in.

PAULYBEE2656 09.17.2008 10:21 AM

wow!! how the fuck did i miss these!!!! real good! damn good!!

funnilly they sound a bit like irish band giraffe running!!!

greedrex 09.18.2008 06:47 AM

i'm surprised you missed this one Paul.
i mean i for one came to know them through this very place via atsonicpark i believe (Mathrock thread).
I know my mathrock pretty well, but these guys are so good.
hella are great by very messy
Don Cab were great , but they're dead now (he he)
but this is exactly what i was looking for , like a lightweight and humble Don Cab.
I can bloody dance to it also!!! Check out the girl dancing on the left. Amazing to see a mathrock band able to make people DANCE???!!!!

ha
yes!

SYRFox 09.18.2008 06:55 AM

Yeah Giraffes? Giraffes! are pretty good. Maybe a bit too technic sometimes for me, but I'm just being picky, they're good. I love their titles

Nope, I'm at home. The school is only like 15 minutes from my home using the subway

atsonicpark 09.18.2008 07:49 AM

Yeah I probably mentioned them elsewhere. I dunno.

Math rock song titles in general usually suck.

greedrex 09.18.2008 07:54 AM

^^^Mathrock song titles are only ironic, sarcastic, me thinks
and i also think most of these bands also play some of their music in a cynical way, like "we can play, we could play anything, we're into indie rock , let's play prog indie!!!!"

i think it's mostly a refined sense of humour.

atsonicpark 09.18.2008 07:55 AM

True.

My favorite math rock band, period, is probably sleeping people.

PAULYBEE2656 09.18.2008 08:13 AM

yes. sleeping people rule!

greedrex 09.18.2008 08:28 AM

oh yeah they do rule of course, but these two bands have a very different style. they both rule in their own way.
yay for mathrock!

back to the subject matter...

currently listening to the album.. more milk mouth or something...

my god, im loving it as much as i loved ahleuchatistas after the first listen...

thank you for awaking my ears to these guys.. they rock!

greedrex 09.20.2008 10:46 AM

ha ha that's cool you like them, they're awesome.
actually it's fair enough since you made me discover Ahleuchatistas
so it's "deuce"
You still haven't told me if you listened/liked the one i sent you ages ago(gentle veincut).

PAULYBEE2656 09.20.2008 10:48 AM

oh yeah.. shit i forgot to say that.. yeah its damn good. enjoyed it. i havent burned it yet but its on my mp3 player. very very good indeed...
