Giraffes Casino are theatrical entertainers with a bizarre twist in their music. An electric circus presentation dominates the colorful prop decorated stage. The 3 piece line up consists of some hard hitting Celtic folk tunes and dark nursery rhymes mixed with some outrageous humour and sarcasm. Many of the topics covered in the repertoire remain untouched in most areas of music. Songs about Pirate ships , broken down circuses and carnivals. space exploration, clever jingles about large drunk animals and sniffer dogs. World issue harmonies like hurricane’s tsunami’s and the Middle East. Not to mention some heavy historical themes, like the wild west , ancient Rome and Medi evel England. Some of this dynamic material was recently used in an SBS television episode of ‘Fat Pizza’ and has also been used in their later series, Swift and Shift. This stage outfit is incredibly unique. We have come up with a recipe to best describe the music itself: 1. 3 cups of heavily ground Iron Maiden 2. 2 cups of Jeffro Tull 3. 1/2 cup of Midnight Oil 4. 5 tablespoons of Ian Dury 5. Sprinkle generously with all the herbs & spices of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar 6. Bake at 500 degrees for 90 mins in Frank Zappa’a Oven The line up is as follows: Jeff Petersen - Vocals, guitars and wardrobe Tommy Spillane – Vocals, bass and props Peter Graham – Drums and more drums Blake – Sound effects and make up
