Sleepytime Trio

Sleepytime Trio is an emo band formed in 1994 in Harrisonburg, Virginia after the demise of Maximillian Colby.

History

Following the demise of Maximillian Colby, the Sleepytime Trio was started with the lead singer of Maximillian Colby (Drew Ringo) as the lead guitarist, Ben Davis on bass guitar and Jonathan Fuller on drums. Later in the summer of 1995, they added Dave Nesmith (formerly of Maximillian Colby) on second guitar. The following summer, the band did a seventeen day/twenty show tour of primarily the eastern United States and parts of Canada. In 1998, the band took an extended hiatus when Ringo relocated to Seattle and the remaining members went on to form Engine Down, The Rah Bras, Milemarker, and Bats & Mice. In May of 1998, the band performed five shows in a short period of time. On 1 December 2007, Sleepytime Trio performed together again during the Action Patrol reunion gig at Alley Katz in Richmond, VA.

The band enjoyed a modest following, playing in mostly basement venues with fair at best sound systems.

Style

Many have described Sleepytime Trio's style as screamo and post-hardcore. Their songs consist mostly of heavy screaming and guitar riffs.
