Why this name?
Why and how? At the time we would go from our day jobs if we had one, (some didnt) straight to the studio. People would always notice that we were always on our mission, super ambitious with a vision, and when we would look up it might be 4-5 in the A.M. Still, we were going hard.....the name "Dont Sleep" flashed across my boys computer (Himselfs) and it was instant! A name that stuck and had meaning .."Dont Sleep" was born, the rest will be history. Just follow along !
Do you play live?
Yes! Anywhere we can, Love it , being that we are somewhat split, up as of now we are limited but that doesn't stop us a bit. special moments? lol yeah there are some ....story later.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Maaaan! Information is instant, access is easy, and the possibilities are endless. Its only the beginning for the internet and music marriage with the incorporation of phones to ringtones. you better study up to stay on top...I tunes for example? need I say more!?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Abbsooolutley. We would be lieing if we said NO, I do understand that the game is all messed up and there are alot of pitfalls, but I don't see why not if you study and read up on what your signing, you should be fine. Bad business will continue to happen, I just hope we are not apart of it. but I have heard all the horror stories, so we are ready!
Band History:
In the Making!!!!
Your influences?
Where do we start anything from the 90's era is Hot, Period! But as far as names there are to many , I will say this though, we are very diversified when it comes to music. Everything gets played and studied, from Jazz, Latin Music, R&B to Hip Hop , and some Rock. WE are from a city where Grung music was born (Kurt Cobain RIP) and Jimi Hendrix became a Rock N Roll Legend (RIP) and last but not least the birth place of legendary Quincy Jones who needs no introduction when it comes to great music. You gotta know your history to know where the game is going , thats the truth!
Favorite spot?
Citys : Seattle of course! Downtown avenues to Pike Place Market, Southcenter Mall, BurgerMaster, d**k Burgers! L.A. and Long Beach .
Equipment used:
Akai mpc 2000, Mac BookPro Garage Band , Reason , Mbox2, Yahmaha QY100, ProTools, Turntables Technics, B-52 Prodigy fx and of course a mic!
Anything else...?
DONT SLEEP!
