Ramble and the Sleepers are a 4 piece band of eclectic styles including roots/blues/rock/surf and funk. The band is located in Perth, Western Australia and have been playing together since mid 2005.
Originally formed by singer/song writer Joel Barker (also lead guitarist) and Tim 'the bear' Truell, they were joined by drummer Dane Knowles and later by Cameron Barker on percussion.
In April 2007, Ramble and the Sleepers released their second studio album "Before the Season Fades" to rave reviews. Festivals that the band have played at include the West Coast Blues and Roots Festival (Fringe Performance) the Bridgetown Blues Festival and the East Fremantle Festival.
The music is so varied that it is hard to put it into one genre. This suits the boys just fine as it means that there is a broader scope for interest. Front man Joel is Roots and blues driven, Tim the bass man brings the funk and appreciates a wide spectrum of music including metal, Dane the drummer digs roots and metal amongst others, while Cam grooves to any beat. Put together the initial sound Joel has in his head when he introduces it to the band ends up being vastly different to the final sound.
Think Ben Harper crossed with John Butler crossed with Jeff Buckely and you are somewhere around the mark
Come check it our some time, or download the tunes.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Hey RATS. Thanks for responding to our current Friends drive and adding Bands@Manjimup. We are doing this because we have a few really exciting events coming up like our recent concert, on Friday 20th, featuring Elora Danan (photo below) on their debut album tour, Manji prog rock band Ashoka and Perth ambient rockers Laced Affair. It was a high energy show with fantastic sound, and those who came got to meet the bands for more than an hour afterwards. The pictures are now up as a slideshow. Check them out at the top of our profile.
Next, we'll be hosting the biggest regional event in this year's WAMi Festival calendar, on 22nd May. The support acts: Abbe May, Sneaky Weasel Gang, Desert Radio and Ashoka. The headline act for the concert will be Callerway. Following day Abbe (songwriting) , Drew Godart (guitar) from Karnivool, Roy Martinez (bass) and Nick Johnson (drum tuning, cymbal selection and kit set-up) from Eskimo Joe will feature as lecturers in our B@M Youth Muso Workshops.
The June gig will feature an even bigger headline band, probably supported by local heroes Ashoka and Electrostatik.
We'll keep you updated with bulletins and you may want to tap into the bands listed on our Top 40. You'll always find the performers at our next gig right up the top. At the other end you'll find bands that have recently played, followed by acts, who want to play at B@M. Send us a comment if you like them and they maybe get the go.
Lastly: PLEASE VOTE AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING! It prevents proper FX lighting at outdoors concerts before 9pm in summer. Especially for support bands. It’s gotta go!!! Nag your elders if you can’t vote yet! Go viral on it and e-mail all your friends! Peace, The Terminator
