Biography
Having started in the seemingly absent San Antonio, TX indie scene, Sleep All Day is now based out of Denton, TX where all four members attend university.
After John Guest and Kristin Lindsley branched out of their previous group, Ministry of Plenty, they recorded a self-titled side project debut under the name Sleep All Day with Steven Garcia sitting in for all the bass parts in June 2008. While leaving behind the electronics and multi-instrument sound, Sleep All Day's first album was primarily an acoustic effort with very few instruments and no ambient sounds. Singles from the album include "Ike, My Friend" and "Out of Place".
Soon after the recording took place, Steven and John, displeased with the new release, started writing new songs and brought them to Kristin in August 2008. With half a dozen new songs heading in a different direction, Sleep All Day needed a drummer to bring the music together. After playing with Mason Macias (Marcus Rubio and the Gospel Choir of Pillows, Sarah and Octopus, Druggist) for the duration of summer, they had high expectations when auditioning. Having bad luck for almost a month, they went to Luke Angle, a jazz drummer from Washington D.C. who seemed to click immediately. The four played their first live performance together on October 19, 2008 at the Curtain Club in downtown Dallas, TX.
The band is currently working on a new EP, "Isolate the Buildup", and their second full release shortly following that.
