Giraffes Casino

About Me

Giraffes Casino are theatrical entertainers with a bizarre twist in their music. These boys are an electric circus dominating the colorful prop decorated stage. This peculiar act has a very diverse repertoire. There’s hard hitting Celtic folk tunes , dark nursery rhymes , metaphysical themes , Tales of pirate ships, space travel , wilderness and flying carpets from the Middle East, just to mention a few Some of this dynamic material was recently used in an SBS television episode of ‘Fat Pizza’ and is now being used in their new series Shift and Swift Couriers. This stage outfit is incredibly unique. We have come up with a recipe to best describe the music itself:

1. 3 cups of heavily ground Iron Maiden

2. 2 cups of Jethro Tull

3. 1/2 cup of Midnight Oil

4. 5 tablespoons of Ian Dury

5. Sprinkle generously with all the herbs & spices of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar

6. Bake at 500 degrees for 90 mins in Frank Zappa’a Oven
