trashydeluxe necklaces

trashydeluxe: the name says it ALL.

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?

ta-da.

insert witty title here.. listen to rumanian buck & the giraffes! blood, meat, gore, dancing. RIBS. yes, RIBS.

2 03 2009

shall we begin with a throwback?!


‘slippercrumble’ live @ santos party house, 12/15/08, filmed by captain

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-

Rumanian Buck

Rumanian Buck

As if the release of Prime Motivator wasn’t enough, The Giraffes’ singer Aaron Lazar brings to the world some new tunes with a side style known as Rumanian Buck.

Now I would write more but I actually already have. So if you click on this link here (which brings you to a very awesome magazine worked on by none other than Sugar – n – Thunder’s resident Leopard), click on music on the left side bar and scroll past a couple of other awesome music reviews, you will see an article on Rumanian Buck written my by alter-ego, Eric Sanchez.

Enjoy,

El Capitan WhiptasticO  (that’s what a person with the last name Sanchez would call me)

P.S. Check out Lazar’s new freaky styles in the music player over to the right (“Slippercrumble”!)

P.P.S. I’m working on getting more footage of Rumanian Buck’s Debut at Santos Party House during the Punk Rock Pillow Fight, to cut together something pretty. Update on that shizz to cum.

edit/
WORD, it’s the leopard. -laughs hardcore @ el capitan whiptastico- oh, spanish people. rumanian buck was AWESOME, i was seriously floored. even more SURREAL was the way the rest of the giraffes, goes cube, and others were dancing around and jumping up and down on the pillow fight mattresses while RB was playing. crack fantasy, much? I LOVED IT. haha. speaking of which, check out these pix from the show from metromix & the lovely jackie roman over at limewire music blog. YEAH!
