I have no idea what this is about, but "Steam Powered Giraffe" got my attention, so awesome title?

MTE; I saw the title and it's really a kickass title.

It's a (really) great steampunk-themed band, the members perform as robots and created a whole story for each one of them. If you wanna give it a try, I recommend Automatic Electronic Harmonics, Brass Goggles and Captain Albert Alexander :D.

Pretty comedy/music busking troupe.

This looks like something I might like, but I have absolutely no idea what it is.

It's a band! You can listen to them on youtube.

It's a pretty pretty band/comedy troupe that does 3 part harmonies and music that ranges from traditional ballads (That'll be the way home, Honeybee) to dark cabaret (Suspender Man) and a bunch of styles in between. They are working up a really cool back story. They are an independant group of 20 somethings and run everything themselves, hense how slow things are being released.

I really wish I could get into SPG. Everyone I know loves them to death. I love their look. And I have a friend who keeps on pushing their music on me. But I get so bored with their sound. And, yes, I know it's not them. It's me. Completely me because I am more into post-punk and electro.

Every time I leave my friend's house after having to watch their videos for the umpteenth time, I climb into my car and crank Death from Above 1979 and Santigold just to cleanse my ears.

I love you, friend, but no...just stop.

Same here. I've listened to their songs and they're very talented, but it's simply not my kind of music.

I wish them all the best, though. c:

Eeeee, I love these guys.

For interested parties, I recommend this song as a starting point, since it shows off their vocal harmony and costumes so well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojYK6CW8gdw

"Brass Goggles" is also very very good.

As for the secret itself, I sort of agree? But mostly it's only my usual wariness about interacting with fandoms of people with a very strong tumblr presence. I get antsy when I imagine the fans are under scrutiny, which is a very silly fear given how sweet Bunny is on her tumblr.

I love Steam Powered Giraffe - at least, I love their songs. I had no idea there was an overarching story to it.

There's a comic being made by one of the band members, but it's on hold while they are busy with a summer gig. There's a back story to the band. One of them is drawing it.

Well, I can't say for sure without knowing this fandom, but I thought this "my headcanon" stuff happened in many other fandoms?

I think, and OP correct me if I'm wrong, it's because the full story isn't out yet. Maybe the OP is annoyed that from what I have seen those members of the fandom are using up all the possiblities? IDK.

I don't suppose anyone has a source for the image.

For reasons.

I had it on my computer but it seems to no longer be on the webpage. :(

Lol this is a fandom? I saw them at the San Diego Zoo and thought they looked interesting but sounded pretty horrible.

They have a storyline, DVD and 3 albums. So yeah, why is that surprising? People have been fans of less.

That's okay dude. I don't know if seeing them there while they work 4 shows a day 70 days in a row is the best introduction to them...but whatever. Everyone has different tastes.

They are more than just a show at the zoo though.

To be fair, you put a ton of talented people into a very, very basic story outline with characters they love, they're gonna want to try to expand and work it that framework.

There's a Steam Powered Giraffe FANDOM? I miss absolutely everything! I know what I'm searching for this weekend.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that just doesn't get it about this band. I guess it must be whatever storyline it is that keeps people coming back, cause I can't sit through half of one of their music videos. It's just so...freaking...BORING. And watching them pop and lock for a whole video is just freaking dull.

I can't say this to anyone in cyberspace though because through the group of friends that know what they are, it's like they hung the moon. I will say the lead guy (the tall one, don't know which name is his, I knew him by a different one) has a fantastic speaking voice. I just can't get past the freaking awful music...

I absolutely love Steam Powered Giraffe, I think the whole band is amazingly talented, funny and creative, but... I'm afraid I don't care much about the story :(. I know it's not my obligation to like everything about them, but I feel kinda bad that I don't care enough to see other people's headcanons, imagine anything or read what they post about the plot. If it was just in the lyrics, I would be really interest, though. Does that makes sense?

I'm a little confused. After reading this secret I went and read all about them- the backstory, their bios, everything. I've even watched a bunch of their videos. But..isn't the Bunny mentioned in the secret The Rabbit in the band? He's a guy, right? Why does the secret use female pronouns? What am I missing?
