Giraffe Running - Giraffe Running

Giraffe Running is a 2-piece instrumental band featuring Greg Barrett (bass guitar) and Hag (drums). In December 2003, 5 instrumental compositions were recorded featuring only the drums and bass guitar. These tracks were sent to a group of friends and admired musicians around the world with the hope that each person would add their own idea(s) to the original tracks. The cover packaging was designed by Matthew Bolger (The Redneck Manifesto) & was hand-printed using a letter press at Dexterity Press in Chicago by Jeff Mueller (The Shipping News, June Of ’44).
