The LAST Giraffes show... ever.. again...

Even though I already had a post titled "The Last Giraffes Show" I was pleased to learn that there was one more in the works In February of 2011. This news brought out the band's Brooklyn base in full force to the Mercury Lounge for what turned out to be an epic, emotional and beer-drenched night for all of those lucky enough to attend.

(Fuck you too Aaron)

As most Giraffes fans know (and for those who don't), Aaron Lazar, the band's incredible lead singer, has a serious heart condition that needs constant monitoring and regulating. Being the rock star that he is, Aaron has given rock n' roll the past decade of his life.

(What genius gave this man a just-banned FourLoko??)

After several heart attacks (all before the tender age of 30) he finally heeded to the advice of medical professionals and announced his retirement (**sad sigh**) from the stage at what was officially billed as the "The Last Giraffes Show".

(Goodbye...)
