i believe i found this sassy, portland-based lady thanks to everyone’s favorite pink-haired aussie blogger, gala darling. i just wanted to promote this gal’s efforts because i LOVE the necklace she made me — and if you’re anything like me, then you want to rock a fancy-a$$ necklace that says something hella perverted like pole smoker, hussy, pillow biter, sleaze, slutbag, etc.
WELLLLL..
the giraffes’ official/unofficial rallying cry is ‘smoke cock,’ right?
3 words: demented. rock. GENIUS. taken to a whole new level.
and when i say whole new level, i mean, head mics AND backup dancers. and lipsynching to get to the grammys. ERR — i mean, RAW TALENT.
and so without further ado, ladies & gentlemen, back we go to giraffes frontman aaron lazar’s solo project, RUMANIAN BUCK! we saw them on 2/28 @ the annex, sandwiched between RIBS and the netherlands for RB’s long-anticipated CD RELEASE!
the RB shows seriously get better every time. aaron & crew have worked hard to bring the DIY feel of the original tracks to the stage (without their instruments exploding/imploding). this time nothing could be better than the cap & i dancing in the front row with jens and damien giraffe. you HAVE to dance to this shit! you just do! seriously though — it was a BLAST. they own it.
andddd… now you can DOWNLOAD THE EP! and you really, really should. mp3s of all tracks and a pdf of liner notes & lyrics — where else can you see a bottle of xanax listed as an instrument? aaron, you so crazy.
the live version of RUMANIAN BUCK featuresssss..
aaron lazar (the giraffes) — vox & guitar
danny barria (the big sleep) — guitar
mishka shubaly (beat the devil & ribs) — bass
mitchell king (beat the devil & ribs) — drums
jessie blockton (the vitamen) — keys
BUT for a look back on how the project began, you should read an article that i’ll post here for your convenience.. ;D thanks, eric sanchez! whoever you are.. -looks around-
