Future Exhibit Goes Here! Sleepyhead reissue is out today!!

We are so excited about the brand new deluxe reissue of our second and third albums on Drawing Room Records. Some great press is already rolling in! Keep an eye out on the "Shows" page, too. We're working on setting up some shows to celebrate.

We highly recommend the deluxe double vinyl, which includes liner notes by all three original members, some words from the one and only Sam Lipsyte, and a beautiful book of original Sleepyhead bass player Mike Galinsky's beautiful photos. If you don't have a record player, you can still use the free download code to listen, but you'll still get the amazing package!

Buy it here!

Sleepyhead has to bow out of Saturday's show...

We are so sorry to say that due to an unforeseen family issue, we can't make it to New York this weekend for the big show. We promise we'll be back as soon as we can! And of course, the show will go on, so follow the "Shows" link to get more info about seeing three AMAZING bands: The Special Pillow, Bob Carol Ted, and Sloppy Heads!

Playing Brooklyn Saturday, February 4 and other news...

We haven't played in a while, but that changes next Saturday, February 4 at The Gutter in Brooklyn! We've been working on songs for a new album, and have recorded a batch of them already. Sometime soon, we're going to get back in the studio and record some more, so that new album will hopefully be out in early 2018. (That would beat our last gap between albums by 11 years!) ALSO, it won't be long until the 2017 double-vinyl and first-time-ever digital reissue of our second and third albums, 1994's Starduster and 1996's Communist Love Songs, the latter of which will see a vinyl release for the first time ever! There's even going to be an awesome booklet with lots of founding bassist Mike Galinsky's photos and liner notes by Mike, Rachael, and Chris. The reissue is coming courtesy of the fabulous Drawing Room Records! Click on "Shows" for details.

Back to the studio!

We promised ourselves we would NOT wait so long between releases, and we're keeping our word. We're heading back to the amazing Q Division Studios next month to start recording! And we're working on booking some fall dates - more on that soon.

Record Store Day in Providence, RI!

Last year on Record Store Day, we were in Louisville, KY at the fabulous Guestroom Records. This year, we'll be at the equally excellent What Cheer Records + Vintage on Saturday, April 18. We LOVE Providence, having lived and rehearsed there for a summer in the earliest days of Sleepyhead. We're looking forward to coming back to play for the first time since Wild Sometimes was released last year. We've got lots of new tunes to play, too, and are going to start recording album #6 this summer. Support your local record store!!! Check the "Shows" page for details.

Great review on the Jersey Beat and some more upcoming shows...

We just saw this lovely review over at the Jersey Beat:

And we just added a few new shows! (http://www.sleepyheadrockband.com/shows)

We'll be at Cuisine en Locale in Somerville, MA for our record release party on Saturday May 24 with our longtime Providence pals the 'Mericans getting the night off to a rockin' start. To make this event extra special, Cuisine En Locale will be serving up some delicious BBQ! Mark your calendars, and we should have a link for tickets up soon.

Also, we will be playing in the great state of Vermont for the first time ever on Saturday, June 7! It will be at The Skinny Pancake in Burlington with Let's Whisper, Heathers, and The Spook School. And it looks like The Skinny Pancake serves Heady Topper, so I'm not quite sure why anyone within a 90 mile radius of Burlington should have any excuse to miss this one!

Keep checking back here for more shows! We plan on doing a bunch of east coast dates later in the summer!

Sleepyhead makes Magnet a mixtape!

Magnet asked us to make a mix tape and here is the result. We remember when these were actually on cassettes! This was incredibly fun to do - thanks Magnet!
