Delayed Sleep is a psychedelic rock band from Sacramento California. Their hypnotic recordings have been played on several public radio stations such as KDVS 90.3 (UC Davis, California) and others throughout the country. To describe their sound listeners have described them as everything from psychedelic, to progressive to avante-garde to noise. Their personal musical interests include jazz, avante-garde, hip-hop, r&b, prog-rock, krautrock, 60's and 70's psychedelic music, experimental, garage and jam-bands, noise, and too many more to list.
Some of their musical influences include artists such as Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett era), Strawberry Alarmclock, The Pretty Things, Silver Apples, Faust, Amon Duul II, John Coltrane, The Kinks, The Doors, The Beatles, Can, Neu!, Gong, Magnog, King Crimson, SubArachnoid Space, Soft Machine, Sonic Youth, The Monks, Brian Eno, Matching Mole, Kraftwerk and others.
They have played throughout the Sacramento area and beyond with artists such as (in no particular order) SubArachnoid Space, Deerhoof, Orthrealm, Cock ESP, Instagon, Uberkunst, Surefire, My Merry Malady, Duntch, Throckmorton, Hot Pistol, Predator, Crisis Unit, Yours in Murder, The Burn Victims, The Veronicas, Burke, The Gynas, T.G.W.D.T.F.C., Prissy's Prism, The Eyesores, Blue Star Creeper, Critical Theatre, The Paisley Project, and many, many more.

Erm...Sacramento is well far away from Hampstead,you know?

Very interesting porkmarras !

I will listen afterawhile. I love the description though, many bands I highly admire as well....great influences ! I'll let you know what I think...thanks alot. :)

i listened to "coma" and something else (edit: "sham rock"?) and it was pleasant, but then i was in the middle of listening to beat happening (inspired by the stupid christmas album thread) and i had to go back to it.

i had sex on christmas
i had sex 3 times today
3 different women told me how to be bored
in their own separate too-little ways

i feel like hell on christmas
and i feel like hell today
i feel like hell when i wake up in can tell
that i'm never gonna make you stay

(okay, here it goes)

i didnt get no presents on christmas
and i sure didn't get none today
learned my lesson
life is one long session
of disappointment, heartache, pain.

disappointment, heartache, pain.

see??

Memory fails me as usual but last time i put a record by Beat Happening on was in 1994 or something.

i had to get the lyrics from the song because i found it ungoogable. such perfection. ha ha.

I listened to Coma as well and wasn't all that impressed. I'll come back to them later tonight.

Hmmm....they seem quite a hit and miss sort of band.Either they get it totally right or they sound a bit lacklustre.
I have the same problem with a band called Home.They can/could either be genius or simply crap.

The first one i heard(Welcome To Dreamsville)is ace.Try with that one first.

okay, i'm listening. yes, it's better than the other 2 ive heard. it vaguely reminds me of pink floyd's "echoes". but doesn't really blow my socks off or anything-- i guess we have different tastes-- i'm going back to listen to menstruating banshees :D
