ZEBRA & GIRAFFE

Zebra and Giraffe recently released The Inside, their second full-length album, featuring their current single, "The End Of The Road." Their 2008 debut Collected Memories garnered local and international acclaim and saw them win a 2009 South African Music Award (SAMA) for Best Rock Album, while also being nominated for three SAMAs in the categories Best Newcomer, Best Album Packaging and MTN Record of the Year for "The Knife." They also received a great deal of love from the press, with FHM (in a five-star review) hailing their "Atmospheric, sophisticated electro-pop… in the vein of New Order and the Killers," while Cosmopolitan praised their "dark stuff, wrapped in sweet melodies."

But complacency is for bands with less ambition and bloody-minded dedication to their craft. Z&G have used the momentum built up over the last couple of years to propel them into the studio with tunes and enthusiasm to spare. Greg Carlin (vocals/guitar), Alan Shenton (guitar), Andrew Maskell (bass), Darren Leader (drums) and new member Michael Wright (keyboards) recorded the majority of the album at RBF Studios in Johannesburg; it was produced by the acclaimed Darryl Torr, who also produced Collected Memories. The album was mixed by the renowned Cenzo Townshend, who has worked with U2, Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles and Florence and the Machine. Zebra & Giraffe are currently available for recordings, publishing, and booking for the world excluding South Africa. For opportunity inquiries, please contact Karl Anderson
