The Life and Times

12/3/11 Great show at the Beat Kitchen. The life and times performed one of the best shows I have seen them do. The guys played a bunch of songs of their new upcoming album "No One Loves You Like I Do" in stores on 1/17/12.

The band described their new release as follows:
Our newest offering to the Gods, No One Loves You Like I Do, will be released on SlimStyle Records on January 17, 2012. it’s difficult to describe our feelings for this record, but suffice it to say it’s given us fits of anxiety, frustration, jubilation, and pure ecstacy. it’s a leaner, meaner and more direct album than was Tragic Boogie and maybe a bit darker too.

Sleepy Sun

Sleepy Sun, the psychedelic rock band from San Francisco, executes a flawless performance in Chicago at the Double Door 8/25/11.

They came together young and garage strutting in the coastal Northern California crucible of Santa Cruz. And there they birthed the Sleepy sound dead blues shaken alive, razor sharp and ramblin', soul, sonic science and dead-on pop surgery. Wooden, earthy, stratospheric, and swinging California music of beautiful contrasts for conflicted times.
