Danish band Sleep Party People will perform dream pop.
Sleep Party People was formed in 2008 by Brian Batz and was influenced by artists like Boards of Canada, David Lynch and Erik Satie. Since its beginning, Sleep Part People became known for the rabbit masks Batz wears in his photo shoots and during live performances.
Contrary to the misconception that Sleep Party People is a band, Batz is the sole member of Sleep Party People. Kaspar Kaae, Jacob Hoegh, Ask Bock, Casper Hegstrup, Anders Stig Moller, Hans Hvidberg, Per Lyhne, Rasmus Lindahl, Line Felding and Frederik Thybo have all performed with Batz in live shows. Batz explained in an interview with Motion Pikczer, “It’s a bunch of good friends that’s playing with me. So, it’s not a band, it’s just me and my bunnies, in a way.”
Quickly gaining great acceptance, Sleep Party People was featured in Soundvenue, a magazine covering the Danish music scene. After this, the record label Neh-Owh Records chose two of his songs to be featured in a compilation EP. In 2010, he released his self-titled debut album with 10 songs. With this success, Batz was featured in Dutch and British magazines. His first album was reviewed favorably — it was called “one of the strangest and most beautiful released in a long, long time” and “a hazy, dreamy and wondrous debut album” by two of the largest newspapers in Denmark.
