After releasing their debut album The Whiskey Diaries, Daysleeper proceeded to win our June Artist of month poll. The band has been around for a couple of years perfecting their booze-filled Americana sound. The band is Patrick Gemkow on Vocals and Guitar, Alex Austin on Bass, Brandon Thies on Guitar, and Oliver Hunt on Percussion. I was recently able to interview Patrick about the band, the new album and his thoughts on Chicago in general.
You can read my interview with Daysleeper here. You can catch Daysleeper at The Tonic Room on July 29th.
