Looks like Sleep<\/a><\/strong> is back, or at least they are for one show. Sleep<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 alongside artists like Jack White<\/strong> and The Mars Volta<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 is slated to play the Desert Daze festival at Moreno Beach in Lake Perris, CA from October 10 to 13. Of course Sleep<\/a><\/strong> kept their announcement nice and mysteriously, only captioning the Instagram post with “TRANSMISSION” and then information about the show.<\/p>\n This is Sleep<\/a><\/strong>‘s first show since 2022, and could potentially herald some new music? According to Sleep<\/a><\/strong> guitarist Matt Pike<\/strong> in a recent interview with Steelworks<\/em>, Sleep<\/a><\/strong> has been working on something, but he’s not at liberty to say what it is.<\/p>\n “Well, we haven’t played live in a while and we took a little hiatus,” said Pike<\/strong> as transcribed by Metal Injection<\/em>. “Right now we’re just playing D&D online really, and there’s some surprises coming up but I can’t elaborate or share on how that’s going to turn out.<\/p>\n “So you know, we’re talking and and working on stuff again, but it’s not come to fruition. It’s nothing that I can announce. You know us, we’ll drop a record in the middle of the night and no one will know it’s coming. So it’s\u2026 I don’t really give away those secrets because that band so odd. I don’t know what’s gonna happen myself.”<\/p>\n Pike<\/strong> added: “I’m on good ground with those dudes and we’re talking about some cool shit. I’ll leave it at.”<\/p>\n It’s worth remembering two things at this point \u2013 Sleep<\/a><\/strong> surprise released their album The Sciences on April 20, 2018 with zero warning. April 20 is also coming up in roughly one month, so who knows. Maybe we’re getting a new record (“we’ll drop a record in the middle of the night and no one will know it’s coming,” said Pike<\/strong>), but who knows?<\/p>\n
