Sleepy Workers Rise Again!!!

It’s understandable that one might say, “Who are the Sleepy Workers?” At this point you might call them a reverse-supergroup-of-folks-who-you-probably-still-have-not-heard-of. Sleepy Workers roamed Seattle in the early 21st century and have not performed a show since 2005. Prepared-guitarists Brad Dunn and Nicholas Gonzalez are Texas exiles who also were the initial core of the Curious Mystery (though Brad no longer performs with them). Drummer Dave Abramson is also the sticksman for Morricone-psych-surf specialists the Diminished Men, free-jazz ensemble the Spider Trio, archaic-audio-anthropologists Climax Golden Twins (who just returned from a quick European tour), and sometimes second drummer for the Master Musicians of Bukkake. Sleepy Workers often reference Polvo. Sadly, I’d seen them a few times, but buried under enough alcohol and time, I can not remember what it sounded like. Brad and Nicholas are also doing solo sets and Waves will be playing also.

If you can’t

If you can’t catch Sleepy Workers, then the various aspects of both bands are having busy weeks as well. Curious Mystery are performing tonight at the Rendezvous ($6). Curious Mystery and Diminished Men are also playing at Le Voyeur in Olympia this Saturday with Lozen. Next Thursday, at the Rendezvous as well, Diminished Men and Sean are having a holiday party.
