After a year of banging around in the studio, the new Sleeping At Last cd, “Ghosts”, will be in stores October 7, 2003. Just recently signed to Interscope Records, the band is a three piece including two brothers Ryan O’Neal on vocals, guitars and keys, Chad O’Neal on drums and percussion and Dan Perdue on bass and keys. Ghosts is an eleven track disc produced by Bjorn Thorsrud and mixed by Alan Moulder. The album cover and artwork are very unique. They were painted by Sage Vaughn a/k/a Saggy Bottom.

Ghosts is a sensitive trip through self exploration and an expression of the bands soulful inner spirituality. Its not a disc I recommend listening to right before you head out to the monster truck pull. Most of the cd contains soft, melodic tunes with sprinkles of pixy dust. I’m not kidding….if you listen to it you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s no wonder that Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins gravitated to the band immediately.

Billy was key in helping to develop Sleeping at Last. In a recent interview with Ryan he said that Billy provided a great deal of guidance and advice that was instrumental in getting the band signed to a major label. Sleeping At Last is primed and ready to hit mainstream radio with a first effort that could go all the way.

Currently Sleeping at Last is on tour with Switchfoot and Bleu and will be returning to Chicago’s Metro for an all ages cd release party on October 8, 2003. If you want to reach the band to join their street team or check out their web site go to www.sleepingatlast.com or www.interscope.com.
