Sun, 20 May 2012 00:54:53 -0400

you guys are already my favourite band but you would be more my favourite band if you would release the first two albums on vinyl. would this ever be possible? also, please come back to toronto.

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:22:04 -0400

thanks for selecting us as your current favorite band. hopefully we live up to the high standards you have set for your favorite bands.

the possibility of releasing the first two albums on vinyl is a possibility. that is all there is to say about that at this time.

hopefully we are still your favorite band.

Is there any chance that you could reveal or drop a hint as to what the tunings of Emilie Sagee' Secret or I Am S/H(im)e[r] As You Am S/H(im)e[r] are? any hints would be MMMINDBBBLOWING.

not in a million, billion, trillion, quadrillion years

Hey guys! My band did a cover of When the Catholic Girls Go Camping, The Nicotine Vampires Rule Supreme, and we are releasing an EP, and I am asking if you guys will give us permission to do so! Much respect and admiration!

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:16:00 -0400

Yo! If you give it away for free, then all you need to do is give us credit. If you are going to charge money, send an email to: info@giraffesgiraffes.com Thanks!

Hey Joe, do you mind sharing your pedal setup? I never really thought to play anything other than jazz until I heard you guys, but I've already got some ideas going that require more than just a straight clean sound.

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:16:52 -0400

Hey! Thanks for listening! Here’s the setup that I’ve been using up to this point: CLICK HERE. But I’m in the process of upgrading/streamlining/adventure and you’ll see some variation in the future. There’s so many incredible pedals (and combination of sounds) out there! It’s both intimidating and really exciting. And expensive. But (if you can afford it), any instrument/equipment investment that contributes to inspiration/construction of new music is completely worth it. You’ll always have limitations too, but that’s OK. It just gives you parameters to work within. [JOE}

Are you guys gonna do any touring soon? If so is there a list of dates?

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:56:03 -0400

We don’t have anything scheduled right now, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do! [JOE]

could you recomend me a good guitar pedal to start with electric guitar?? maybe a loop pedal combined with other one with effects??, sorry but Im amateur in pedalboards

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:55:21 -0400

It really depends on the sounds you want to make. The Boss loop pedals are good ones to get involved in the looping world. Besides that, I think the essential pedals to have are: tuner, distortion, delay. With all the variety nowadays, you should look/listen around and find the tone/effect that makes the most sense with the music that’s in your head. YouTube has a lot of demo videos that’ll give you examples of sounds and ideas for application. But ultimately, it comes down to just trial and error and growth- and that’s OK. Just because you get a pedal now, doesn’t mean you have to keep it on your pedalboard forever. Right now, I’m in the process of reevaluating my pedals and designing a setup to help me in my journey towards futuresounds. Fucking around is fun. HAVE FUN. [JOE]
