It looks like 2016 will be the year we finally get to see and hear Giraffe Tongue Orchestra—the long gestating supergroup featuring Alice In Chains vocalist/guitarist William DuVall, Mastodon vocalist/guitarist Brent Hinds, The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, ex-The Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen, Dethklok, etc. bassist Pete Griffin and vocalist Juliette Lewis of Juliette And The Licks.
In addition to readying some promo shots (see below for evidence of that,) the band have been booked for the annual ‘Reading‘ and ‘Leeds‘ festivals in the UK, playing ‘The Pit’ stages. They will perform at ‘Reading‘ on Saturday, August 27th and at ‘Leeds‘ on Sunday, August 28th. Both shows will be double duty for various members as Mastodon and The Dillinger Escape Plan will later be performing sets on the same stage at each date.
Recording sessions for the band’s debut release have taken place sporadically over the years with producers Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die) and Ross Robinson (Korn, Slipknot) having been involved with separate sessions.
