Sleepy Gonzales is four sad goofballs writing, recording, and sharing original music. They pride themselves on their ability to go from lulling themselves into collective daze with Beach House inspired dream pop jams, to violently shaking the walls/floors of their practice space with loud, uninhibited garage punk pandemonium -- and a great deal in between. Allyson, frontwoman supreme, excels most in her attention-demanding live performance while retaining powerful melodic vocal capability. The twins, Beni (drums) and Cristian (guitar) are the primary songwriters -- the competitive and sometimes spite-fueled nature of their brotherhood has kept them writing voraciously since adolescence. Nick (bass) has been snowballing the explosive element that he's added to the band since joining in late 2017.

TL;DR A bunch of Bright Eyes / Cherry Glazerr wannabees

CRISTIAN

things were getting pretty dark for a while, but I recently found a bedazzled chalice at value village with "Q U E E N" spelled out in rhinestones for 99 cents, so things are finally looking up.

Favourite Album Right Now: No Love Deep Web - Death Grips

BENITO

When I was a little kid, I sprinted into a wall with a drumstick protruding from my mouth. It was probably 1999. Blood poured out onto my shirt, the ambulance came. My mom was crying. I don't know why, but after that, I realized I wanted to be a musician. It's not like I immediately started playing guitar and listening to Led Zeppelin after that. But I can really trace back my intense passion for music to that exact point at 4 years old. Like a seed had been planted.

Favourite Album Right Now: Capacity - Big Thief

NICHOLAS

Whattttuppppp I’m Nick, I play bass and sometimes do shitty vocals, just trying to push my punk agenda on this band.
I like beer, punk rock, burritos, Arcade Fire, aerosol spray cheeses, ABBA, and vine compilations. I hate talking to people. But I'll talk to you if you're nice.
Cristian and Beni have taught me all the useful shit I know.

Favourite Album Right Now: Raw Power ~~ Iggy and the Stooges
