Sleep Machine is an amazing rock band based in Los Angeles, featuring Alisha Zalkin on lead vocals, Dan Kalisher on guitar and Kiel Feher on drums. If you’ve been following this writer’s posts, then you know that the band has been nominated for several LA Music Critic Awards, and won the award for Best Video (live) in 2015.
The band has been hard at work on their sophomore EP, Animal High, which is set to drop on September 20. It is our pleasure today to help those efforts by premiering their new music video for the title track, which the band released yesterday, September 5.
According to their website, the band touts itself as a modern-day female-fronted Led Zeppelin. Although many bands fall short of their hype, Sleep Machine is right on with their assessment. Take a listen to their video, and we are sure you will agree.
Sleep Machine has already garnered an impressive list of placements from their debut EP, Cover me in Gold. Those placements include Quantico, Finding Carter, Younger, and The Royals. That trend continues with placement of two of their new songs in a recent episode of The Fosters.
Besides the TV placements, Sleep Machine has also been featured in Entertainment Weekly and was chosen by Myspace as the “Artist of the Day.” Individually, they have each performed on global tours and on such stages as The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The View and the MTV Movie Awards, as well as at such famous Los Angeles venues as the Hotel Café and the Viper Room.
