een echte aanrader.

Het volstrekt eigenzinnige Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is een avantgardistisch gezelschap dat zich laat inspireren door Einstürzende Neubauten, King Crimson, The Melvins, Rammstein en Frank Zappa. De groep is eind jaren negentig opgericht in Oakland (USA) en is een samenwerkingsverband van gitarist Nils Frykdahl (o.a. Charming Hostess, The Faun Fables), violiste Carla Kihlstedt (o.a. Charming Hostess, inkBoat) en bassist Dan Rathbun (o.a. Idiot Flesh en inkBoat). Twee slagwerkers en een percussionist maken de groep compleet.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are a great band I'm also a bit drunk and well versed in Dutch after PP so let me translate

I think the jist of that post is that they are an avantgarde band along the lines of King Crimson, The Melvins, Rammstein and Frank Zappa. They are from Oakland in the USA and their line-up is:

Nils Frykdahl (of Charming Hostess, The Faun Fables) - Guitars
Carla Kihlstedt (of Charming Hostess, inkBoat) - Violin
Dan Rathbun (of Idiot Flesh and inkBoat) - Bass
And the percussionists have changed a few times, so I can't fill you in there

They're actually touring all over Europe in October/November so check their homepage if you're interested.

Thank you Kirsty. Even I'm drunk too after PP unfortunately I don't understand Dutch at this level ;-)

I've just been told that the drummer line is something like, "There are two drummers and one percussionist that complete the lineup"...

But you're very welcome and I apologize for not having become bilingual last week... anglophones. Sheesh!

The short version is: Sleepytime TOTALLY ROCK and you should NOT, under ANY circumstance, miss them.

Seriously. I saw their first ever European gig on Headway this year, and -- they. rock.
