Sleep Study

Highlight of their set was a rather faithful version of Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" (which, yes, the aging punk band played on their set last year... and is a song that is dear to our cover lover hearts.)
Sleep Study ended their 40-min set with a song that they called "Party in Here."

Everything about Gorman screams #1 Dylan fan, from his looks ("it's the hair, isn't it?"), the way his songs tells little stories, and, of course, the trademark harmonica used on a few of his songs. If you like Bob Dylan, I think you came to the right place.

A couple of new songs on this set, "Keeping Yer Thin" and "Skyscraper Skyline Blues", the latter is actually pretty good. Gorman dedicated the song to all the skyscraper window cleaners and that "Not enough people talk about them... So this is that song!"
The lone cover song, Wilco's "Passenger Side" was played solo, much the relief of his drummer Andy, who apparently "ate a spicy burger."
By the end of his 45-min set, Gorman tells us that he's learning a whole new American culture. Like the way Chicagoans say "daaamn" to things they like. In Australia they seemed to shorten it to "dam, mate."
Of course, after playing their biggest hit of the night, "Shiny Gun", the song inspired a few fans in the audience to shout out daaaamn.
