Giraffe Tongue Orchestra — 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 started recording for the new project.
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.
One Day As A Lion drummer Jon Theodore (ex-The Mars Volta) has joined Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, a project featuring The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, Mastodon guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, and ex-Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery.
Despite previous reports, former The Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen is not in the band.
The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman will be spending today working on Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, the collaboration with Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds.
“So about G.T.O (Giraffe Tongue Orchestra), Brent and I have already got new material,” Weinman commented on the band’s official website. “The guy just spits out riffs like a riff machine…we shall be working all day on sweet sweet melodies sure to make the young girls cry and the old one scream (not necessarily in that order).”
The project is also expected to feature former Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery and ex-The Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen.
