OH YEAH ALSO ... what is spg... like ik i could technically just google it but what i'm saying is pls take this as an excuse to gush/infodump/etc

[vibrates at a speed which can break glass] spg

UM! spg stands fr steam powered giraffe, nd they are a steampunk musical act tht centers around improv + robotic pantomime! basically all of the members have characters they play while onstage. founding members isabella “bunny” bennett (rabbit <3) and david michael bennett (the spine) are currently a part of the band, alongside bryan barbarin (zero). past members have included sam luke (hatchworth), jonathan sprauge (the jon), and erin burke (upgrade).

there’s also lore!!! basically the band began back in the 1800s when peter walter of walter robotics was trying to impress a Girl He Liked named deliah, so of course he made a bunch of singing robots to serenade her. thadeus becile, another man who was trying to impress her, made a giant robotic elephant for her, so walter attempted to one-up him by making a giant steam powered giraffe robot (hence the name).

after deliah passed away, becile went a Little Wild nd held a bunch of resources hostage. walter sent his robotic giraffes to war, fitting the singing automatons with weapons so they could fight as well. the walter side won, and the automatons were repurposed back to sing for audiences, which they have now done for years!

if you in any way enjoy the mechanisms, they have a similar energy (much less violence tho hehe) so i def recommend checking them out!! brass goggles is one of my favorite songs probably ever and i once laid in bed depressed as hell listening to it for a solid three hours. automatonic electronic harmonics was the first spg song i ever heard (thank u percy) nd makes me go insane in a good way. honeybee can and will cause you to experience gay yearning. and (last one i promise) malfunction is an epic win song written by bunny that is lowkey a trans anthem while also just carrying a good message about insecurities and Being Yourself.

spg is GOOD and i LIKE THEM
