Dream The Electric Sleep

Dream The Electric Sleep (DTES) is a progressive, concept-rock band from Lexington, KY. Drawing from a variety of influences that include Genesis, Rush, Killing Joke, Philip Glass, Neurosis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, U2, and Black Sabbath, DTES present an abnormally eclectic mix of genres and musicality. Formed in Winter 2009, guitarist and vocalist Matt Page, former guitarist Trevor Willmott, and drummer Joey Waters (then members of the band "Jack") recruited bassist Chris Tackett.

Drawing from a variety of influences that include Genesis, Rush, Killing Joke, Philip Glass, Neurosis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, U2, and Black Sabbath, DTES present an abnormally eclectic mix of genres and musicality.

Formed in Winter 2009, guitarist and vocalist Matt Page, former guitarist Trevor Willmott, and drummer Joey Waters (then members of the band "Jack") recruited bassist Chris Tackett. Tackett, formerly of the bands Chum (Century Media) and Hyatari (Earache), helped shape a new direction and sound for the band, that would eventually become DTES.

In late 2009, DTES started work on a concept album (two years in the making) that explores the trials and tribulations of an Eastern Kentucky coal miner and his wife.

The result is the band's debut LP, "Lost and Gone Forever" - a genre-bending opus that not only reflects the bands mixed bag of influences, but charters some new territories as well.
