History

Sleeping Bag formed in March 2010, when drummer and singer Dave Segedy began playing with bassist David Woodruff and guitarist Lewis Rogers. Segedy had previously performed as a solo artist under the name Whoa Bro Awesome, adding guitar parts for the act's 2008 eponymous EP with Musical Family Tree. [2] In 2011, Sleeping Bag released the self-titled Sleeping Bag through Joyful Noise Recordings; a limited number of digital downloads included a literal sleeping bag. [3] The album featured the single "Slime". [4]

The band’s sophomore album, Women Of Your Life, was released in November 2012. [5]

For their third album, Deep Sleep, Dave Segedy enlisted guitarist Tyler Smith and bassist Glenn Meyers; the record was released on Joyful Noise in 2014. [6]

Sleeping Bag has released two collaborations with West Virginia-based Rozwell Kid: Dreamboats, released on Old Flame Records and Jurassic Pop Records in 2013, [7] and Dreamboats 2: A Real Chill Sequel in 2020. [8] Both EPs were co-written and performed by Segedy and Rozwell Kid’s Jordan Hudkins. [9]
