The Sleepwalkers Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Some words on The Sleepwalkers “Old-fashioned rock ‘n roll (think 90′s alt-meets-Elvis Costello)…the songs were ramshackle instead of refined. Let me repeat this, to be clear, rock ‘n roll is not dead.” Playground Misnomer, NYE 2011 review “…instantly alt-country class, yet enticingly on the pulse of us contemporary Midwesterners. Imagine Limbeck on an all night sugar bender, making some rash decisions with Paul Westersberg’s estranged cousin.” Easy Tiger Interviewer, Spring 2011 “We don’t get a lot of hooky power-pop in these parts, and that’s where Olvera comes in. Here’s a guy who knows how to package his disappointments and discouragements in big, catchy Fountains of Wayne-sy melodies, a boot-stomp or two of honkey tonk, even an unabashed power ballad….” Rocksposure.com, Milwaukee, WI January 2011 “…this is without a doubt one of the best full length records to come out of Northeast Wisconsin…what Ian Olvera and the Sleepwalkers created and captured here is wonderful-a ton of midwestern energy.” -GBNightlife.com-December 2010 “One of these fringe artists who’s defining his own territory and defending a path that, I hope and wish, many more take …a powerful country rock vibe that make Olvera and his Sleepwalkers unclassifiable”-Necesito Un Rock And Roll-Looking To The Future-November 2010 “…a hard-hitting debut on their self-released full-length, The Reckless Kind. Mixing the chiming guitars, sweet melodies and punchy hooks of late ’70s power-pop with the twang and sway of mid ’90s alt-country, the threesome have managed to make these two strange bedfellows work very well together – not unlike Petty or Springsteen in their respective youths” -ConcertLiveWire.com September 2010 "The Reckless Kind builds on the promise of the EP with its polished Americana-influenced pop that splits the difference between The Jayhawks and Tom Petty....the real standout here is the languid "Laundry & Cigarettes", an anthemic ballad that could be a hit in an alternate universe." - ..Absolute Powerpop-September 2010 https://twitter.com/SleepwalkersWI New album "Lost My Mind In Stereo" - out NOW http://www.thesleepwalkerswi.bandcamp.com
