Sleeper x is a four-piece experimental metal band from Perth, Western Australia. Biography Sleeper x was formed in late 2001 by James Crossland (vocals) and Wade Taylor (guitar). In late 2002, they were joined by Chris Butler (drums) and Crossland's long time friend Garth Taylor (bass guitar). In 2004, the band supported the Dillinger Escape Plan and in May that year signed to the Perth independent record label Cartel Music Sleeper x then travelled to Melbourne for the V5 Festival. In May 2005, the band released its first EP, Everything You Know Is Wrong. A second EP, Music For The Esteemed Gentleman, was released in March 2006. The band left the Cartel Music label in March 2006, forming its own label, On The Blob Records, later changed to Panty Liner Records, then Red Guard Records. The Migrations and Mnemonics (a split EP with the Melbourne jazzcore act Errata), recorded in Taylor's studio "The Great Brain" and mastered at Errata's House of Fuboobadore in Melbourne, was the first release by the label. Though active in the Australian metal scene, the band's penchant for noise-making, irreverent live performances (including the practice of Freemasonic rituals onstage) and unconventional instrumentation has earned them a reputation for innovation and spontaneity within avant-garde musical circles. The band is currently in pre-production for its first full-length album, The Long March Discography EPs * Everything You Know Is Wrong - Cartel Music (CARTEL001) (2 May 2005) * Music For The Esteemed Gentleman - Cartel Music (CARTEL002) (13 March 2006) * Migrations And Mnemonics (with Errata) - Red Guard Records (17 November 2006)
