Eclectic, chaotic, melodic. Sleeptalk’s influences range from Radiohead, Kate Bush and the Pixies to the harmonies of The Beatles. Our songs are weird diary entries, imagined histories and folktales. www.sleeptalksounds.com
Next gig is 14th August at The Stoke in Guildford. It's heat 1 of 3 of the Greene King Battle of the Bands, which has a £10k first prize, plus the chance to be mentored by an established artist. Obviously a huge opportunity. Please come and vote for us if you can!
The name of this playlist is hilarious 😂😂😂 the songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I love how passionate and consistent Massive Attack are of their support for causes they feel strongly about. I know some think artists should stay out of politics, but politics is life! And Massive Attack are also really leading the way on how to perform sustainably.

If I'm going to lead an indie rock band in my 40s then I'm going all in and intend to live all my dreams in one go. My gig outfit last night. #labyrinth #livemusic #unsigned #cultfilms #indie

I'm basically always late. But... put a superhero mask on and shove me on a train and I'm miraculously early for our Fiery Bird soundcheck. I would also like to point out that despite how this looks, I am NOT naked behind that guitar! Come see us tonight! £5 doors 7.30.
TONIGHT! Woking, if you're out there and you like the following musicians, for a fiver, you should come and take a punt on Sleeptalk: Pixies, The Beatles, Kate Bush, The Last Dinner Party, Father John Misty, Wet Leg, Radiohead, Royal Blood. Door 7.30 at Fiery Bird Live Music Venue
Bands/artists: what are you all like the day of a gig? I can't wait but I'm a bit nervous and so I can't focus on anything! I've never had regular gigs - was always pretty sporadic, even in my 20s. I assume it gets easier when you start doing it all the time! Any tips?! #livemusic #unsigned
I love talking about music with people who are just as passionate about it as I am.
Just had a rehearsal and I swear to god, playing music with amazing musicians is one of the absolute best things you can possibly do. And, assuming you don't have to pay for a rehearsal studio, it's FREE! I'm just totally buzzing.

I couldn't agree more with Rhian from Wet Leg about how complexity doesn't always equal 'good'. guitar.com/news/music-n... I'm thinking of 'Mr Tillman' by Father John Misty. Same chords over and over and it's awesome. Bolero by Ravel, anyone? 👌
Wet Leg frontwoman disagrees with guitar's “loser gatekeepers” who think songs need “20-plus chords” to be good
Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale believes that some of the best songs have just two-chords, and has opened up on demystifying music-making.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I really need to remember to wear my ear plugs more often. It just doesn't come naturally but years of listening to music, gigs, rehearsals and DJing must have taken its toll on my poor ears! What brands do people recommend?
Why are music fans choosing to wear ear plugs at festivals?
Ear plugs are becoming an increasingly popular accessory at music festivals.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I'd really like to see this tour and I found this article fascinating as it challenges what live music shows should be. Must artists always interact with the audience or have support? Is there a minimum acceptable running time or a commensurate price point?

I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house

OK, I've been pretty critical of the BBC, but I just realised the volume goes up to eleven on BBC Sounds and that's the sort of beautiful nerd joke I'm here for.
My neighbor has a band. They were practicing late into the night, so I sent the following text. "Tell your bass player he needs a click track; he's consistently a 32nd note late on the attack." The music stopped entirely shortly thereafter.
