I love it when bands/musicians create stage personas. Like, that’s totally what I would do if I were in the music industry, because I’m way too shy.

I can be polite, but only with people I actually care about.

And before you ask, no, you're not one of them.

Simple art of Rabbit I drew on a new drawing program I just got. The goal was to combine Rabbit’s past and current designs. But it’s just a piece of simplistic art and whatnot. @officialsteampoweredgiraffe

Here are all of my Rabbit makeup looks! (I think) it’s sad because this is only like 4 months of doing makeup and there are so many of them.

This was recorded at David Bennett and Bunny Bennett’s family’s horse ranch in a little mountain town above San Diego called “Alpine”. The was the only song recorded up there, and for the occasion, the temporary studio was affectionately named “Honeybee Studio”. 

If I remember correctly, up to this point we had only gotten david’s acoustic guitar part down, and a scratch vocal from bunny to re-record over later. Scratch vocal parts are a important part of most recording artist’s ground work, its the same for Steam Powered Giraffe. The scratch vocal tracks helps an instrumentalist overdub instruments on top of the basic idea of what the lead vocal will be. If there is a word sung like “Rain”, the instrumentalist will then have an image to play off of, like a cascading rain-like sound etc. What is different about Steam Powered Giraffe scratch recordings is that due to the energy of the first scratch take, we often end up using the very first scratch take as the final one because we like it so much.

This recording is the last section of Honeybee with the Bass, Guitar, and Piano soloed. I had a lot of fun with this, because as you’ll hear I got to play with feedback from my electric guitar amp, and add it to the song as an effect. I was inspired at the time by The Beatles “I Feel Fine” which uses bass guitar feedback as the intro note. The bass guitar part was a result of me trying to fill musical space / find a counter melody when we played Honeybee live for the first few times and the song was really empty. I liked the part so I kept it. And finally my favorite addition to this song, besides the truly haunting lead vocal and harmonies, the upright piano. It was sitting outside the door of the little studio we had set up in. This Piano is old and huge and beautiful. It was slightly out of tune, but that is in fact how I prefer a piano to sound. Adding the piano to Honeybee was just a random idea, and none of us were fully sure about adding it until I played little test and it felt right. David and I led some microphone cables under the door and out to the piano, recorded this part. The actual part was literally coming together as we were recording it.  I think on the 6th full length take the part was solidified and I got it. Now, Jon plays this part live, but using a Wurlitzer sound which if thicker than a piano sound and fills space better. 

The building of the piano part inspired a usage and building up of a drum part at the very end. we laid down some place holder virtual drums in the program until I finally brought up my acoustic drum set, which we inserted in favor of the virtual drums. 

did you hear that sound

it’s the sound of me being punched in the face by emotions

Well, it’s not really “official” since this was before we created the robot characters and started performing, but we did use the Steam Powered Giraffe name on this because my brother and I liked the name and also had used it on a fake MySpace Music page of the same name for a Mills Brothers Moanin’ for You Cover.

This video features an original song called Love World of Love. I “The Spine” created the song while messing around with autotune and got my brother and Jon to do a small video to it “just for fun”. It actually won an award at a local film festival…I am not sure why as it’s not very good, but there you have it. Someone wanted us to submit it, and we did and we won. The video may be crummy, crappy, and not full of talent, but it was fun for us to make and was definitely a starting point.” - David Michael Bennett (The Spine) Watch this exclusive music video and more- when you sign up for the Engineer-eteer program! http://www.patronism.com/steampoweredgiraffe

Having both anxiety and depression is weird. It’s as if I’m too exhausted to do all the things I need to do and then getting all anxious because I haven’t done them.

It’s one hell of a paradox (via drinkt0forget)
