The entire staff of Walter Manor…
…every single being..
Is an enormous.
Fucking.
NERD.
They speak geek so hard that its practically another language.
And yes, that includes the new intern.
Pete 6 is trying hard to pretend to be normal, because she’s cute.
Vice Quadrant Countdown
Starting Tuesday we will be releasing one track name and a line of its lyrics each day right up until the day before Steam Powered Giraffe’s new album’s release, September 1st 2015.
If you do the math, you can totally figure out how many songs are on this gigantic album. ;)
Okay so after a long time of putting it off because I am a very big procrastinator, I went back and looked through the SPG lore, starting with the short version, the background of how the band came to be.
And when I got the the end I realized something that took me a few seconds of re-reading the paragraph over a few times.
The bots are fucking war veterans and I never took account of that before now. Holy shit I am fucking late to the party.
O man the sad headcannons…
The bots wanting to march with their unit. Being told that they’re not allowed. The same General who praised them on the battlefield saying, “Son,” (he ignores Rabbit’s little flinch) “we don’t drive tanks in the Memorial Day parade.”
The bots having to get permission to leave the Walter Estate grounds just to watch. Having to have Walter Worker escorts to make certain these war machines don’t malfunction and hurt civilians. Even though the Walter Workers know that the bots are pacifists.
The bots lining up at the side of the road, all under umbrellas so the sun doesn’t make them overheat. Saluting their friends. And smiling when their real friends return the salute.
And as the years pass… The friends dwindle and fade away. Until nobody salutes them. But the bots still salute the soldiers as they march by.
Age shall not weary them, indeed.

Our newest album The Vice Quadrant is almost done.
We are putting the final touches on it as we speak.
Late nights a plenty…
Haven’t seen outside for about a week.It’s almost time to ship it off for manufacturing and digital distribution to be ready for your consumption September 1st.
Strictly IMO, the entire band needs to take some self-time when this album drops.
Just… go enjoy yourselves and relax. You deserve it.
And then you can come back to giggle at the weeabot antics of all the rabid fans.

None of the Peter Walters.
Not.
A.
Single.
One.
Has any inherent musical ability. They can’t sing. They can’t dance. They can’t play an instrument.
At all.
The robots are very disappointed with them.
