Amoeba Music

Avant-Prog Metal band Sleepytime Gorilla Museum joins us at Amoeba SF on Sunday, April 7th at 2pm for a live set and signing of their latest album of the Last Human Being (out now on AVANT NIGHT)! Get the album at Amoeba SF that day, get it signed, and meet the band.

After thirteen years of hibernation, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, the most gloriously uncategorizable American band in existence, has emerged from stasis with the release of their fourth studio album, of the Last Human Being.

Comprised of multi-instrumentalists and rotating vocalists Nils Frykdahl, Carla Kihlstedt, Michael "Iago" Mellender, Matthias Bossi, and Dan Rathbun, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum plays an arsenal of instruments ranging from the somewhat standard (drums, electric guitars, bass, electric violin) to the rare (bass harmonica, nyckelharpa, marxophone) to the homemade (Slide-Piano Log, Electric Pancreas, Pedal-Action Wiggler). The group has consistently evaded easy categorization, garnering accolades from across the aisles of contemporary classical music, prog rock, industrial music, metal, avant-garde improv, and more. Their music, both enveloping and unsettling, tends towards long-form epics interspersed with mysterious field recordings.
