GIRAFFE TONGUE ORCHESTRA (Dillinger, Mastodon, Alice in Chains): Watch the Band Perform an Acoustic Set

by | Aug 1, 2016

When supergroups strip it down…

Last week Giraffe Tongue Orchestra did an acoustic set for Rolling Stone. The band that features Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Brent Hinds of Mastodon, and William DuVall of Alice in Chains, are gearing up to make their live debut this month — and what a better way to warm up than with a rad acoustic set.

The band played songs off their forthcoming debut record Broken Lines, which comes out September 23rd.

UK friends — you’ll be able to catch them at Reading Festival (August 27) and the Leeds Festival (August 28).

And for us US folks — we’re still waiting for shows TBA.
