Steam Powered Giraffe (SPG) is an American steampunk musical comedy project formed in San Diego in 2008, self-described as "a musical act that combines robot pantomime, puppetry, ballet, comedy, projections, and music". Created and led by identical twins David Michael Bennett and Isabella "Bunny" Bennett, the act combines music and improvisational comedy on-stage, although their studio works focus almost solely on music.
Steam Powered Giraffe has its own fictional mythology
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Tab Note: I marked this tab intermediate because of the obscure chords, but once you get them down, this is a really easy song. This is my first tab, but Im pretty sure its accurate because I got these chords by watching The Spine's fingers VERY carefully during live show. Enjoy, please rate, and comment or email me with any questions!
