Steam powered giraffe9/19/2023 You can right-click SteamWorld Heist in your Steam games list, select "Properties", select the tab "Local Files", and press the button "Browse Local Files". The files can be found in your Steam directory: \Steam\steamapps\common\SteamWorld Heist\SteamWorld Heist Soundtrack by Steam Powered Giraffe. Ever wanted to hear what an acoustic version of Automatonic Electronic Harmonics would sound like? Well the game and this album have one! We even have a version of Brass Goggles, with backing vocals sung by the entire game development team at Image & Form Games! This album includes the SteamWorld Heist theme song created by the band, as well as 12 tracks, featuring 6 completely original songs written for the game, and 6 classic Steam Powered Giraffe songs, re-recorded to fit into the SteamWorld Heist game universe. That's right! Steam Powered Giraffe did music for SteamWorld Heist and Rabbit, The Spine, and Hatchworth make an appearance in the game, as themselves, entertaining their fellow robots in-game with their catchy tunes! Then, after a period of reconciliation the robots asked again and Sam said, " okay, whatever, I guess since I taught myself to play guitar, bass, sing, piano, drawing, inking, fruity loops, adobe photoshop, chihuahua-rearing, and food preparation, another thing wouldn't hurt." and well, that's how, I, Sam Luke, of Samhears (yes, I was the narrator the whole time!) became involved with Steam Powered Giraffe! Somehow I also became a robot apparently.The robots from Steam Powered Giraffe are in a video game! Sam turned down their first offer stating " I can only play a kick drum and a high-hat, with my feet". They were robots now and apparently they needed a drummer. ![]() ![]() That's how he became the one-man-band, Samhears.įast forward a bit and it turns out the Bennetts only got weirder with time. He then took it upon himself to learn how to play half a drum kit with his feet so as to leave his hands free to play guitar and his mouth open to breath and sing. So eventually he settled for a job at a cafe and stuck to living at home (with mommy) so he could support his habit of playing his music and being an artist (so cool! I wanna be like Sam!). He already knew what he loved to do and how to do it, he could write and play songs and draw. After barely graduating high school Sam tried community college and eventually found he hated it just as much as he hated all the wasted educative hours of his life. "it was like being a supporting character on some weird sitcom within a sitcom."įor a while after that, they drifted apart (which tends to happen to friends of Sam). The only way Sam chooses to explain the early days of "Hangin' With the Bennetts" is as follows: Sam spent many an afternoon trying to discern the Bennett twins (one wears black and one wears dragons). Approximately junior year a tall, gangly fellow (by the name of David) joined the drama club and introduced himself as such. Soon thereafter, he decided anyone can play guitar, so he did and got involved in a musical trio (wherein he wrote, played guitar, and sang). Eventually the government made Sam go to high school and his eldest sister encouraged him to join a play (instead of roaming around campus aimlessly - thanks Erin!).Īfter getting over that pesky omg-I'm-so-nervous-I'm-going-to-poop-out-all-my-guts feeling, he did okay in theater club. Through the ages he steadily progressed at drawing because he knew when something didn't look right and took it upon himself to improve. His oldest memories are of him and his sister's drawing and pretending to be things they weren't and in places they could never go. ![]() Sam grew up the only boy of four siblings. He played drums for the band as a human for about nearly two years and took over the role of the third singing automaton, Hatchworth, after Jon Sprague was let go from Steam Powered Giraffe late 2012.Īs of 2016, Sam has left the band to pursue his own musical career. ![]() After some years of drifting apart from the Bennetts and teaching himself an odd variety of skills, he was once again contacted by his friends to play drums in their band.Īfter initially turning them down, Sam decided to join them after all. During high school, Sam met David Bennett through drama club and quickly became friends with both of the Bennett twins. Sam has three siblings, all sisters, as a child, they enjoyed drawing and using their imagination to take them to places they had never been. Samuel Michael Christopher Luke formerly played the robot Hatchworth in Steam Powered Giraffe, he was the main drummer for the band from 2010-2012. Photo taken by James Riley of Geekshot Photography.
