   About Rob Sykes







Although Rob has been involved in many serious musical projects, he is best known for his work with Sleepless, a band that were firmly on the London shoegaze scene around 05-06. The band received much acclaim and Rob's distinctive bass style was a major part of their sound.

Sadly, Sleepless split up. The departure of the drummer to his native Naples and the singer to the USA certainly didn't help.

Rob is currently looking for the right band/musicians: an explosive, straight-ahead drummer and wall of sound guitars.
