 | Firstly and most importantly, Chris is shelving The Giraffes live act. He said
it's too hard to maintain two live acts and Chris and Tad is taking up the brunt
of his time.
|
|
And speaking of Chris and Tad, they'll be going into the studio again in a few
weeks to "start recording and writing (in that order)". So hopefully we'll have a
new album in our laps come late summer or early fall!
|
| Chris has been reworking his personal studio to enter
the whole digital age and whatnot, and as soon as the new equipment is in place he
plans to put the finishing touches on Zero Friction (Giraffes 3). I must admit
that I personally am glad that the album will have minimal outside involvement,
showcasing Chris' multi-instrumental fabulousness!
|
|
The next Giraffes album, as reported about umpteen-billion times since last
October, will be all instrumental, turning the clock back a decade to Chris' first
instrumental album, Lint Cake! When I talked to Chris about Giraffes 4 some time
ago, he said he'd love to do numbers with nothing but tons of different kinds of
pianos and synthesizers. Ryuichi Sakamoto, anyone?
|
|
And the big surprise news is that Chris is doing some of the music for the new
Scooby Doo live-action movie starring husband-and-wife duo Freddie Prinze and
Sarah Michelle Gellar!
|
|
Last but not least, Chris and Tad will be playing a couple songs on early morning
Seattle TV on April 25th during the 8am hour, KCPQ Channel 13! If you live in
Seattle, TAPE IT FOR US! They'll be doing bumpers into commercials as well as a
couple full solo tunes...
