Thursday 5/31 Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Stinking Lizaveta at Radio Radio

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (often abbreviated to SGM) are an Americanavant-rock band, formed in 1999 in Oakland, California.
According to their extensive liner notes for Grand Opening and Closing, their official history and repeated in interviews, the name "Sleepytime Gorilla Museum" comes from a small group of Dadaists, Futurists and artists, also named the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum who owned and operated what they called a "museum of the future" which was "anti-artifact, non-historical and closed.

SGM's music can be roughly likened as something akin to avant-rock or avant-prog, but it practically escapes any rigorous categorization so that people usually have to name-drop different kinds of bands in order to give some sort of scope or conception of what they sound like.
