Sleeper
The Platinum-selling Manchester-formed Britpop band are back.
Sleeper enjoyed huge critical and commercial success in the mid 90s: achieving 8 Top 40 singles across 3 Top 10 albums with well over 1,000,000 sales. They garnered front covers across the music press and appeared numerous times on key music shows of the time; including Top Of The Pops; an episode of which Louise Wener presented.
Together, they toured to sell-out crowds in the UK, US and Japan and played the main stages of Reading and Glastonbury. They toured with Blur, supported REM at Milton Keynes Bowl and toured the US with Elvis Costello, who later recorded a version of their top ten hit, What Do I Do Now?
Their music is characterized by astute, observational lyrics and big,
hook driven melodies. Wener was an iconic front-person, heading up a movement that brought women center stage in guitar music.
Sleeper split In 1998 and walked purposely away from the limelight. Wener carved out a career as a successful novelist, publishing her auto-biography, Different for Girls in 2010.
Sleeper re-formed in 2017 - releasing top 20 album The Modern Age in 2018 - produced by long-time collaborator, Stephen Street. They’ve played numerous sell-out tours since their comeback, including dates at Shepherd’s Bush Empire and the Roundhouse and summer festivals including Latitude and Tramlines.
