The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman was interviewed on radio station WFMU today, December 22nd. The interview can be found in full at the aforementioned link and perhaps most interestingly saw Weinman reveal that his upcoming Giraffe Tongue Orchestra supergroup has switched drummers.
Rather than former The Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen, the group have now instead recruited ex-The Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. According to Weinman, the band — which also features Mastodon vocalist/guitarist Brent Hinds and former Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery — have around a half an album done and are in no rush to complete it.
The door also appears to be open for some as-yet unannounced potential collaborators as well.
