Rock Against Rock pioneers SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM, who released their debut album for THE END RECORDS titled 'In Glorious Times' in May, will begin their 2nd North American tour on Thursday August 2nd, 2007.
About the upcoming tour, the band comments, "What is that plopping burn? Does it keep you up at night? Are you afraid of touching men in women's clothing? Are you willing to pay money to have your eyebrows signed by Californian novelists? Do your homework. Feed your parents. Save your shillings, and you might be able to experience these unanswerable feelings in your neighborhood, all throughout August. Hi, we love you. Let's make up a religion!"
Once again the band will be criss-crossing North America to support the new album, with labelmates STOLEN BABIES and TUB RING on select dates. All dates are below. The band toured North America this past May, a tour that followed up their successful sold-out North American spring tour with SECRET CHIEFS 3 and their first ever headlining tour of Europe.

What the critics are saying:
"SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM combines killer musicianship with some truly inspired bombast." ??? THE NEW YORKER
??????outrageous and inventive??? a strange and unsettling world?????? ??? BOSTON GLOBE
??????experimental anti-rock that growls and screeches?????? ??? SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
??????infamous low-brow freakazoid performance artists???serving up a
Frankenstein's monster of sad lullabyes, aural dementia,
quasi-industrial pigfuckery, experimental atmospherics, Eastern
Euro-folk, and ominous metallic noise ??? THE VILLAGE VOICE
'SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM is the archetypal Bay Area art-rock
disaster; it isn't so much the meaningless pounding as the beating that
irks us..." ??? TIME OUT NEW YORK
???A band too experimental to be confined to one category, SGM bridges metal and circus sounds...??? ??? THE TUSCON CITIZEN
???THESIS: SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM are the perfect band.??? ??? PREFIXMAG.COM
For fans of experimental and uncompromising rock, be sure to buy a ticket to this Museum??? ??? ALL MUSIC GUIDE
???Wonderful mess of eccentric tangles??? ??? BRAVE WORDS & BLOODY KNUCKLES
???SGM's unsettling fare is only for the adventurous and I wouldn't
recommend them for family gatherings, friendly get-togethers or dates???
??? PROG ARCHIVES
???Is it prog? Is it metal? Is it avant-garde? No, it???s Sleepytime
Gorilla Museum. Honestly, this groundbreaking album is so diverse and
unclassifiable that it really fits into none of these categories, yet
is made up of elements that make each genre so intriguing??? ??? SEA OF
TRANQUILITY
???There is no band out there like SGM. Their diverse style and sound sets them apart from everyone??? ??? UNRESTRAINED!
???SGM is all over the place???. Definitely not for the faint of heart or anyone who likes cookie-cutter music.??? ??? ZERO MAGAZINE
