Doors: 7:00pm / Curfew: 10:00pm (Early show)

In the six years since Sleepy Sun released the White Dove 7�, the Northern California band sometimes seemed to live the lives of a hundred bands. They toured incessantly, shed old skin, tore down walls with riffs, and explored black smoke, barrel-dark songs, and studio sheen�all with a core that has survived since the band crawled from the dusty sage�scented Santa Cruz underbrush.

It�s that core, and the experiential sum of those hundred lives, that shape the band�s new songs. In the sounds of their new 7�, out October 15th via Dine Alone Records, you hear echoes of nights shared with fellows and allies like Arctic Monkeys and Black Angels...a band growing self�assured as studio presence...the elasticity and tensions of a creative brotherhood.

There has always been a sort of effortlessness in what Sleepy Sun does�derived, probably, from decades-old friendships within the band and months stuffed in vans traversing and criss�crossing continents. It�s heard readily in their new tracks, as well as the band�s now�well-cultivated roles as instrumentalists. http://www.sleepysun.net
