Sleeper

Sleeper and Turin Brakes share a bill at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, pairing a Britpop-era guitar pop band with a London folk-rock act. Both acts have a long-standing following in British indie music.

Sleeper is a British pop-rock band formed in London in the early 1990s and associated with the Britpop scene of the mid-1990s. Its songwriting, led by Louise Wener, combines guitar-pop hooks with wry, observational lyrics, and singles such as "Inbetweener" and "What Do I Do Now" remain among its best-known songs.

Turin Brakes, formed in London in 1999 around Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, works in a folk-rock idiom built on acoustic guitars and melodic songwriting. Its debut album, The Optimist LP, released in 2001, included the single "Explorers".

The Barrowland Ballroom is a concert and performance venue on the Gallowgate in Glasgow. The bill will suit listeners who follow 1990s British guitar pop alongside contemporary folk-rock songwriting.
