Sleeping At Last: summer tour, writing for new album
Sleeping At Last will be touring through the remainder of 2007 in support of Keep No Score. With over 240,000 plays on MySpace, fans won't be dissappointed to find out that they have begun writing songs for their next album, which will be released independently.
Ryan O'Neal shared with Puddlegum, "I've been working on some writing in between our touring. We plan to focus in on the next record, in 2008, and we'll continue to tour in support of Keep No Score for the rest of this year. We've got a couple more TV shows that will be featuring some of our music later this year."
The band will be touring for the first three weeks of June, after playing ten shows in May. Sleeping At Last released Keep No Score in late 2006 and have since been supporting the album on the road with a number of tours. This particular tour will take them from their Chicago home to the West Coast, hitting a few shows in the South as well. They will be performing at Cornerstone Music Festival in Bushnell, Illinois on June 30.
When the band chose to release Keep No Score independently, they had already established inroads in the music industry. Bjorn Thorsud (Smashing Pumpkins, Dandy Warhols) engineered their latest album, and John Goodmanson (Sleeping At Last, Death Cab for Cutie, Sleater Kinney) mixed the tracks. Quicksand, from Keep No Score, was featured on the season three premier of Grey's Anatomy.
Sleeping At Last's previous album, Ghost, was produced by Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), leading to appearances on Fuse TV's IMX, and tours with Zwan, Switchfoot, Yellowcard, and Something Corporate.
