Doc N Roll Film Festival Presents

Having Fun with A**h*les: The Greatest Band No One Knows tells the story of The Giraffes, a native New York City band. The documentary delves into their nearly 30-year career, highlighting their raw beginnings, tumultuous experiences, and unwavering passion for creating and performing rock and roll music. Despite their dedication and drive, the band has not achieved the same level of success as similar artists they shared the stage with, such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes, Interpol, and many others from the early 2000s New York City music scene. Yet, The Giraffes continue to record and perform all over the country, with a small but loyal fan base showing up.

The documentary captures the essence of what it means to be a passionate musician in an ever-changing industry. It celebrates the spirit of perseverance and the joy of making music for the love of it. Having Fun with A**h*les is a testament to the band’s enduring legacy and their relentless pursuit of their rock and roll dreams.
