Those of you that know who they are will no doubt know what this means the return of what is quite possibly the greatest live band of all time.
My advice is to keep tabs and treat yourself when they come to your city.
I myself will try everything in my power to either go to that show in Minehead, England (’bout due for a trip across the pond again) – I mean, really, a reunited Sleep?
