The Giraffes + Netherlands + Mishka Shubaly

Back when Williamsburg hipsters were a rare breed and playing music wasn’t just a bartender’s day job, the Giraffes were tearing up the local underground with a debauched mix of surf punk and hard rock that inspired packed clubs full of scruffy Brooklynites to mosh their way into oblivion. Though the dudes "broke up" in 2011, they're back in action with a limited set of fall dates in support of a new EP, Usury.
