They opened for Pearl Jam a little while back. I wish I could have seen that. Awesome band! Their first tour in the US is coming up it's only in the Northeast though. Their cd's are also going to be released in the US in March.

Check them out. They rock!!

    It is a bunch of shows that are consecutive. That's good enough for me.

    These guys are seriously good! I've heard of them before but never checked them out until tonight. Thanks for bringing them to my attention again.

    I really like Wintersleep and Im sad I missed the last time they were near, and by near I mean kinda far but as close as they will get but yay for Wintersleep!

    i guess we have a different view of what a "bunch" is. no biggie. i wish they were coming closer to me (who doesn't hit pittsburgh on a "tour" of the northeast...it's close enough. it's above the mason-dixon). i bet their live show is GOOD.

    Hopefully it is the first of many shows after their albums are released in the US.

    I caught them once for a 30 minute set at the CMJ Music Festival in New York. They are a sight to be seen. Maybe I am biased. I can't help it, I love their music so much!!

    Glad to hear it. I've only heard of these guys through this forum, but I really like what i've heard. Attempts to get my friends to like them has not worked, however.

    they're coming back to the US? I just saw them here in NY...they were part of the cmj thingy if I recall correctly. They were great live.

    They are from Canada. I believe the guys in the band are fairly young. Check em out: http://www.wintersleep.com

    I'm pretty sure they hail from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

    I thought they were very good. If they played my neck of the woods, I may go see them.

    I got an extra ticket for the Boston show if anyone wants it for face value.
