The Sleepers

about

At least four bands have operated as The Sleepers in the past two decades. A late 70's punk group from San Francisco, a South African band formed in 2003, an eclectic music/comedy band from Minneapolis in the 90's and a more recent bar band from Chicago ILL. *The first known act called the Sleepers were a first wave San Francisco punk band that began in 1977 and featured lead singer Ricky Williams who also was briefly in Crime, Flipper and the Toiling Midgets, before he died of a heroin overdose. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=7730502 *Another group operating as The Sleepers are a band from Cape Town, South Afirca.. Official Bio follows: Formed in 2003, The Sleepers have gathered a rabid following with their incendiary live shows. They have cut their teeth playing regularly in and around Cape Town and have graced some of South Africa's most renowned stages. The Sleepers sound is based on the interplay of light and dark. Heavy rhythms and driving guitars are juxtaposed against unconventional melodies and vocal harmonies. The Sleepers are also one of the few bands to have an equally engaging acoustic set. They joined Headline Artists' management in 2007, who manage and have managed some of Cape Town's top acts like, Taxi Violence, Coal, Three More White Guys, Joshua Grierson, Ian Henderson, Andy Lund and The Mission Men and Tonightwedie to name but a few. Their releases (2005's Still EP and their 2009 debut album, A Signal Path)
