Last Tuesday, the reunited influential stoner doom band Sleep returned to their hometown of Oakland to play the massive Fox Theater. Since splitting in the 90s, bassist Al Cisneros and guitarist Matt Pike have experienced success with their new bands Om and High On Fire respectively. Yet over time≤ Sleep’s influence has continue to spread and the band has gained generations of fans. Over the past few years, the band has been playing festivals, small scale tours and special one-off performances, often for sold-out crowds of all ages. Tuesday, June 5th saw them playing a space large enough to contain their enormous sound and the copious amounts of smoke emanating from the audience. In support where two very excellent local bands: Kowloon Walled City and Oxbow. Check out a full color gallery of all three bands after the jump!
