about
Zebra & Giraffe (abbreviated to Z & G) is an alternative rock band from South Africa. The band's debut album, Collected Memories, was released on 5 May 2008. “Atmospheric, sophisticated electro-pop… in the vein of New Order and the Killers” FHM (5 Star review) “A blend of MTV friendly, dark-tinged, pop-meets-rock” Cosmo Rocks “Imagine Foo Fighters mixed with Duran Duran with a touch of New Order” Sunday Times (4 Star review) “A sonic feast of electronica-spiked indie rock” Entertainment Africa "The band that’s redefining local indie rock” Obrigado “Dark stuff, wrapped in sweet melodies” Cosmopolitan “Heavily influenced by 80’s electronica and 90’s rock” Pulse Magazine The memories have been collected. It's time to put them to use. Zebra and Giraffe have just released The Inside, their second full-length album. Their 2008 debut Collected Memories garnered local and international acclaim and saw them win a 2009 SAMA Award for Best Rock Album, nominated for three SAMAs in the categories Best Newcomer, Best Album Packaging and MTN Record of the Year for “The Knife”. They also won the MTV MAMA Award for Best Alternative. But complacency is for bands with less ambition and bloody-minded dedication to their craft. They've used the momentum built up over the last couple of years to propel them into the studio with tunes and enthusiasm to spare.
