SLEEPYHEAD


Rapper, producer, DJ, singer, multi-instrumentalist, animal lover and family man, Sleepyhead is the frontman for Dismal City. Known to rock garage sales, heavy metal bars, and your Grandma’s barbeque, Sleepyhead is every music lover’s Renaissance Man.

His debut album Narcolepsy, the first Dismal City project, was released in the Fall of 2003; a promotional three-week tour of the Midwest and West Coast followed. Immediately after his return he released a split 7" single with local hip-hop group Brokaw and a limited edition remix mixtape.

DJ TAN'T



Breaking vinyl records over his head and throwing them at the crowd like ninja stars, going off on tangents and climaxing his audience gave this producer/DJ the calling Tan’t.
Accompanying with him his MPC, Yamaha keyboard, Megabox toy drum machine, and loop station, DJ Tan’t shows his audience the true meaning of producing music “live” from the ground up.

DJ Tan’t self-released his first album “t.t.t” in 2003. His second release, “notes of abrasion,” was released on Dismal City in 2006.
