Giraffe Tongue Orchestra — a project featuring The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, Mastodon guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, ex-Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery, and One Day As A Lion drummer Jon Theodore (ex-The Mars Volta) — have plans to enter the studio shortly.

Ben Weinman commented, “All the guys have been touring but we are getting ready to have some collective time off the road so GTO we go!”

“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.”
