   About The Sleeper Pins
Sleeper Pins formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2003 as a side project to the alt/art rock band Gliss. Tyson Allison (vocals, guitar, and occasional other instruments) and Justin DeLeon (drums, percussion) wanted an outlet for some quieter, acoustic-based songs that leaned on simplicity, atmosphere, and lyrics filled with storytelling and imagery. Their debut album was recorded and released by the independent label Emperor Penguin Records in September 2003, and many shows followed. After some downtime and wanderings into other local music projects, The Sleeper Pins resurfaced in 2006 with new member and McKnight Music Fellowship recipient Aaron Kerr adding his unique style of cello to the group. They began performing live again as part of the successful Emperor Penguin Acoustic Showcase in and around the Twin Cities. In 2007 the group was rounded out by new fourth member Steve Nord, a multi-instrumentalist adding piano, bass, and guitar to the mix and recording sessions began on their follow up album which was titled "Keep It Coming Like A Miracle." The new album was also released on Emperor Penguin Records and was produced by Midwest Matadors and mastered by Pete Lymon (Queens of the Stone Age/Beck/The Circle Jerks) at Infrasonic Sound in Los Angeles, CA. Recently, The Sleeper Pins have added the highly respected talents of violinist/pianist Heather Broadbent to their sound and often split their time betwen Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Chicago. Thank you for your time and attention! Support independent music!

What's up, Hoss. (Can I call you that outside of work like once a month, Pleaaaaase?) I just thought I'd mention that I added a totally awesome song to my profile and I think you should check it out. I WOULD'VE put "Black Swan" up but for whatever reason *scoffing* you haven't put it on your site yet.
