sleepmakeswaves are fresh off the incredible Monolith tour alongside Karnivool, COG & Plini and their ‘these are not your dreams’ shows will feature new music from their EP trilogy of the same name.

They'll be joined by beloved Melbourne progressive rock legends Closure in Moscow, for their first shows in 4 years.

‘these are not your dreams’ was released as a full length record in 2020, debuting at #25 on the ARIA Chart and #1 on the 100% Independent Chart.

sleepmakeswaves’s new music comes three years since their ARIA-nominated 2017 release ‘Made of Breath Only’ and their well regarded cover of ‘Children’ by Robert Miles recorded for triple j’s Like A Version the same year. In 2018/19 the band released a Metallica tribute ‘To Live Is Not To Die’ and took a break from writing for a tour across Australia & Europe celebrating the band’s 10th anniversary.

Rather than following a conventional release pattern, new songs were released as a series of 3 Eps: ‘No Safe Place’ , ‘Out of Hours’ and ‘Not an Exit’.
The first single ‘Cascades’ debuted on triple j’s Home & Hosed in January, with a second track ‘the endings that we write’ premiering on triple j’s The Racket in February.

The singles ‘Zelda’ & ‘Pyramids’ have generated excited responses from fans – as much for the bold lead vocals on ‘Zelda’ as for the expansive progressive rock instrumental epic that is ‘Pyramids.’

The band will visit Newcastle, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne & Sydney, playing new material and rare older tracks – as well as some classic sleepmakeswaves bangers.
