About Me

FOR BOOKING: LEAVE US A MESSAGE ON MYSPACE!

After putting the Loving Monster to bed... sadly having learned the lesson... that all monsters are scary... The Giants awoke... stumbling about as if someone had given them bad booze... they wanted to make sounds that appealed to the people that loved making noise... So those Sleepy Eye Giants set out make something resembling sounds they heard while waking up...

SEG AT THE OASIS!

"This Charleston duo makes spacious, melodic indie rock that doesn’t rely on flash or false grandiosity to make an impression. Like Stephen Malkmus or Eric Bachmann driving an empty late-night route after one too many, Sleepy Eye Giant’s hopscotch melodies wind slightly askew, but roll smoothly through smeared ambience with false caution. Unfailingly, the songs arrive safely at their destination, but we can’t help breathing a sigh of relief when they do." - B. REED
Record Label: Unsigned
