Reunion Mania, Tour de Force

2010 A GREAT YEAR TO BE A MATT PIKE FAN: REUNITED SLEEP WILL (MAYBE) TOUR THE U.S.!

all tomorrow's parties new yorkAccording to a tip sent in by Suckalo Leanne Fischler, legendary dope smokers Sleep appear to be looking to do a U.S. tour in 2010. The tip comes from a blog announcement on Sleep’s MySpace’s page titled “Booking info,” in which the text simply reads”

“Sleep booking inquiries can be sent to: john@groundcontroltouring.com”

Which would seem to indicate that the band is looking to tour… right? The text sits on top of the above flyer for the band’s appearance at All Tomorrow’s Parties New York, a 3-day festival to be held in upstate New York this coming September. So while it’d be a stretch to say a Sleep tour is definitely happening, it’s certainly not a stretch at all to say it’s quite likely.

I’m not sure whether the ATP appearance was already announced before this blog, but it’d definitely make sense for Sleep to do a bigger tour surrounding their ATP date. It’s worth noting, though, that with a new High on Fire album on the way Matt Pike might have touring commitments to take care of with his main squeeze.

        You wouldn’t be able to see any of the bands. The venue would be one giant cloud of pot smoke.

    It also says at the top of the page: “September 2010 North America”. I think it’s safe to take out the maybe in the headline. Especially since Immortal calls 2 US dates a tour.
