READ MORE ABOUT:
With animal references galore, a band known by the name As Tall As Lions is urging fans to "Do One Thing" for the good old environment. As Tall As Lions, following successful tours with acts like Cage the Elephant and Minus the Bear (told ya), has teamed with the Alliance for Climate Education on their latest outing, in support of "You Can't Take It With You," their latest album on Triple Crown Records.
The self-described soulful, indie-rock band—vocalist/guitarist Daniel Nigro, guitarist Saen Fitzgerald, bassist Julio Tavarez and drummer Cliff Sarcona—isn't just preaching either. The "Do One Thing" effort is about encouraging people to make simple changes, like kicking the plastic bottle habit and grabbing a steel reusable water bottle instead, or riding your bike more often.
The members of As Tall As Lions will be using steel bottles at their shows, and handing them out at various stops in their travels.
Singer Daniel Nigro also has pledged to take the "Zero-Waste Challenge," and not generate any garbage for the entire tour. How will he do it? That remains to be seen. He probably could learn a thing or two from real animals, who seem to get by nicely without filling up garbage bags.
As Tall As Lions fans can text DOT to 30644 to share their DOTs during the show (that's short for Do One Thing, in case you haven't pick up the lingo yet).
The Long Island, New York, band recently posted their first webisode of the DOT/Garbage-free ride. More episodes will be posted frequently to keep fans updated on the band's climate fightin' progress.
The As Tall As Lions tour runs from April 6 in Chicago to May 9 in Boston. You might call it the "mane" event. My apologies to writers everywhere.
