SUMMARY:Sleep
LOCATION:Pabst Theater\, Pabst Theater\, 144 E. Wells Street\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53202\, United States
DESCRIPTION:Today\, the legendary band Sleep releases new single “Have Spacesuit Will Travel”\nvia Third Man Records\, their first new music since 2018. In addition\, the band\nannounces a fall North American tour\, as well as releases the first issue of the\nSleep Comic Book\, written by bassist and songwriter Al Cisneros.\n\n“Have Spacesuit Will Travel” begins Sleep’s first mission without Matt Pike on\nguitar. The music and art are alive and after the decades of obstacles that\nSleep has overcome\, it is time to move forward and make songs and albums. Al\nwishes Matt the best on his earth bound maneuvers.\n\nAlongside Cisneros\, the latest incarnation of Sleep features Dale Crover on\ndrums and Bubba Dupree on guitar. Dale has been in some serious bands\, like the\nMelvins and Redd Kross. That Al would seek him out makes sense\, an almost\nelementary choice that probably wouldn’t raise too many eyebrows. Bubba Dupree\,\nfrom the fiercely loved band Void\, hailing out of Columbia\, MD\, is a pick that\nis not only completely mind-blowing\, but a choice no one would have seen coming.\nJust the thought of Bubba\, who was amazing from the first Void shows on\, playing\nguitar in Sleep is almost too much for the mind to comprehend.\n\nAl Cisneros\, Bubba Dupree\, and Dale Crover as a trio looks really good on paper\,\nbut the only way to see if it worked was to get everyone in a room and play. Al\nsays the answer made itself evident immediately: “The vibe of the first jam was\nobvious. It was blue sunglasses-era Iommi in the quality\, and equally awesome is\nBubba is also one of the coolest people I’ve been able to make music with.”\n\n“Have Spacesuit Will Travel” at no time tries to pick up where The Sciences left\noff. There’s a considerable amount of new blood in the band\, so imitation\, as\nBubba notes\, would greatly limit the potential of three very unique and talented\nmusicians. That being said\, Sleep answers to an incredible recorded history\,\nliterally decades in the making\, so it would not be surprising that Al\, Dale and\nBubba would find themselves composing in the spirit of that which had been\nestablished so long ago. The three of them were able to make an album that can\ntruly be identified as genuine Sleep music\, yet with a sharpness and agility to\nthe recordings.
