BONUS EPISODE! ⁣Hey, its been a while. We are back, kinda...   In this short bonus episode we chat about the impact covid had when the touring world first got shut down for us loosing months of work and not knowing how long it would be before we could return and the light at the end of the tunnel that was Sleeps Society. The success of the Patreon page for the band meant that they were in a position to be able to offer some of the touring crew jobs to help get by in this hard time. We chat about getting the job and our roles within the Society.    - - -   Hosted by James Hill (Tour Manager / Sound Engineer) & Ant Lacey (Merchandise Manager).

Lattes Before Load-in episode 6. ⁣In this crazy longer than usual episode we managed to get Mat Welsh, the Guitarist of the band While She Sleeps, to slow down from his usual 110mph day and spend just over an hour talking to us about what he got up to in pre production, what a typical day is like for a rockstar like him and how he loves a good IPA.
