Sleepmask

Dream of the green night of the dazzled snows

About Me

Ming Vauze, the visionary songsmith whose uniquely textured melodic sense and guitar sound has been tapped by such bands as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Faculty X, Les Enfants Terribles, Mount Sims, So Does The Fire, and Esza Kaye- reanimates a concept born 10 years ago.

Charlie Woodburn, a humble soul of vast experience , who has played with the Furry Things and Pretty Vicious becomes a part of the band after a long and exhaustive search for the right drummer capable of bringing the thunder necessary for this storm of sound to take place.

Adam D'Zurilla, Prior inhabitant of the murky swamps of the Florida everglades region this former SALEM vocalist responds to our call for the final element necessary to bring a much needed fire and drive on bass.
