The
Sleepover Soundtrack
The Sleepover Soundtrack are the latest band to hit
the Coventry music scene. Originally formed in late
2002/early 2003 by existing members Sam Lyttle and Daniel
Thornett (with past members Jamie Sheerman and Jamie
Thornett). The band were then un-named, un-organised
and lacked the certain spark they have today due to
several separate commitments. The band have gone through
many transformations over the past two years, music
style was everchanging due to discomfort caused by constant
musical differences between members, several band members
came and went and they've had more name changes than
Prince.
Early 2005 was when things seemed to pick up, a new
drummer and guitarist were in the line up. Under the
name 'Assume Nothing' things started to speed up with
the band writing potential material but never got
round to anything but writing, this caused yet again,
another major blow.
Mid 2005 brings in Dave Norton, introduced to Sam
through work and, with a shared love of music, got
onto the subject of a band together, along with Daniel,
the trio started writing their new material under
the name ''The Sleepover Soundtrack'', with Dave filling
the much-changing Lead Guitar slot. After practicing
together a few times, things seemed good and ready
to finalise, this is when Dave introduced his close
pal Chris Lings, drummer for fellow local band Park
Lane Speakers. The band got together for a few practices
and discovered the spark that had been missing for
nearly 3 years, with a style fitting them all they
were ready to do what they'd waited for. With just
3 weeks to practice together before their first gig
at the Coventy Jailhouse, the band stepped onstage
together unsure of the outcome. After playing their
set the band stepped offstage ecstatic with their
performance and are currently writing more material.
