No website. No MySpace. No mp3s. No albums. No singles. No photos (almost). But it contains Mark McLean and Allan Graham, two members from the seminal Toronto band The Sick Lipstick. Prassana Rajagopalan tried to find out more.

So who are you and what's your "deal"?

We are a band called Nervous Sleepers. "Our deal is to take it to the next level." - ZZ Top, 1983.

Having scoured the net, I found precious little information about you... not even a MySpace page. How do you sleep at night knowing that you are depriving people like gonzo665 and missy_beanz28 of online friends?

One day we will join everyone on the "net" and we will surf the waves together.

Lack of MySpace page regardless, what do you sound like? Please use a metaphor involving food. Or, just ignore that completely and proceed to provide me with a description in your own words.

Musical pizza or musical nachos (with cheese).

Actually, my contention that there was nothing on the internet related to The Nervous Sleepers isn't quite true. I unearthed a photo set from Kid With Camera's site (www.kidwithcamera.com) of you guys playing with AIDSWolf and Made In Mexico. That Made In Mexico singer is pretty easy on the eyes. Comments?

Everything is easy on our eyes.

Did you have a good practice? How do those usually go? Who is most enthusiastic about practice?

Jams always go good a.k.a., "Fuck you, Mclean!"

Oh bollocks, I totally forgot to ask you guys to introduce yourselves. Would you kindly oblige me? And how long have you been around (as a band)?

We are three guys who have been jamming every now and then for about a year. We started jamming more and playing shows in the past couple months.

I'd like a top 5 list of things to make music/noise with from each band member please

1-instruments
2-amps
3-p.a.
4-mics
5-killer "vox"
