    Who the hell is Wintersleep? That's the question I kept asking myself for the last year when I would see this thread growing almost daily. Too lazy to check them out I kept ignoring it until today. I'm going to be in Vegas next month on business and needed something to do on a Sunday night. Turns out this bands called Wintersleep is playing! If it wasn't for this gigantic thread I wouldn't have even thought to go see them. Well tonight I listened to Welcome To The Night Sky several times and I'm loving it. Turns out this thread I've been ignoring for over a year actually helped me discover some new music. Thanks to all who kept this thread going, I'm looking forward to seeing them next month. Also does anybody know the real PJ connection? I read that PJ heard a tape and was so impressed that they asked them to open a few shows in 2005. Any truth to that story?

    wintersleep opened for pearl jam at the st johns shows in 05. originally, if my memory serves correctly, it was suppose to be a "evening with pearl jam" but days before the show, wintersleep was asked to open. not sure the specifics on how it went down or how the band was introduced to their music. wintersleep had been compaired to pearl jam, in a positive manner rather then being rip offs, many times and where enjoying quite a bit of local/canadian success at that point.

    you will have a blast at the show for sure. great band and great live! you should check out there other two albums. i still think that untitled 03 is by far their best material. if you dont have it or are having trouble finding it, pm me :)

    early in the morning,
    animals are whispering
    thought i felt a feeling,
    could have been the valium
    staring through a candle,
    staring through the people
    hiding in our shadows
    swearing we will not grow old

    how you gonna lie to yourself?
    how you gonna lie?
    tell me there's a violence here
    tell me that there's nothing inside

    how you gonna lie to yourself?
    how you gonna lie?
    how do we forget ourselves?
    how do we forget our minds?

    we're all ghosts here
    we're all ghosts you know
    hiding in our bodies
    drifting in these vessels
    i say it loud and clear,
    dont know if i believe it
    tonight i want your body,
    don't give a fuck about your spirit

    how you gonna lie to yourself?
    how you gonna lie?
    tell me there's a violence here
    tell me that there's nothing inside

    i can feel your fingers close
    i can feel your falling clothes
    tell me that there's nothing
    tell me that you don't know



    this song has been my addiction for the last couple of weeks.
    it's so very yummy, in a sad, sexy kind of way. :o:)

    Glad to hear you're enjoying their music. These guys are easily one of the best indie-rock bands in the world right now. Have fun at the Vegas show!

    it was very cool at the show, we hung out with mike and loel and tim for hours on the bar side. i pretty much interviewed Mike for like a half hour. Then we all had beers and hung out.. Really cool. They love the Wu-tang clan, we bonded

    one of them said that they have played vancouver so much recently, they didnt want to come back and wear out their welcome and the other said that since they were so close to seattle and it was the end of the tour, that they were trying to get a vancouver show in the works, but it fell through, they leave for europe tomorrow.....

    Hi... *waves*

    I've never been in here before (maybe once) but i'm off to see Wintersleep in London on Friday... (apart from Sarah and Mark) who else is going? :)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
