The Dillinger Escape Plan‘s Ben Weinman has addressed some fan questions regarding his upcoming ‘supergroup’, Giraffe Tongue Orchestra. Alongside himself, the outfit feature Mastodon‘s Brent Hinds, Eric Avery (ex-Jane’s Addiction) and Jon Theodore (ex-The Mars Volta).
Speaking on Facebook earlier this month, he offered:
“Going to address all the GTO questions in one swoop. Getting ready to book recording time now. All the guys have been touring but we are getting ready to have some collective time off the road so GTO we go! This stuff is all over the place. Classic Eric Avery Bass lines, huge Jon Theodore Drums, Brent Hinds melodic noodling, book ended by all my bullshit as well.
So who is going to sing for Giraffe Tong Orchestra you ask? I’m not telling. Maybe it’s a Giraffe dressed like Gene Simmons. Maybe it’s that girl in that Friday youtube video. I hear she is hot right now and prob of age by now. In the meantime check out Eric on tour with Garbage http://garbage.com/tour and Brent with Mastodon http://www.mastodonrocks.com/tour.
Dillinger is playing just a few one off gigs before we disappear for good. Or maybe for a while. Who knows. But come join the fun at Bogota’s Rock in the Park music festival on Jun 30, Java Rockin’land fest in Jakarta July 6, and Knotfest on Aug 18th in Minneapolis.”
