Two giraffes

The Giraffes

“One of the many great undiscovered, overlooked bands of the West Midlands” (Mike Davies, Brum Beat ) The Giraffes emerged from the various ashes of Ens, Reluctant Stereotypes, Pink Umbrellas & Squad. They recorded some stunning songs that fell on deaf record label ears.

Steve Edgson and Sam McNulty were founder members of The Giraffes and were joined by the likes of Nigel Williams ( from the Wedge Cafe ), Larry Lupin ( ex - Gods Toys ), Robin Hill ( ex - everyone!) and bassist Richard Priest ( who would later find success managing Pulp )

During the late 1980’s and early 90’s, The Giraffes released a number of singles on the “Love & Madness” label, including the double A-Side “Pass Me By / Rooftops” and “Lazy Hazel Heart”. Their album “Giraffitti”, which was completed in 1992 was never released.
