The Dreamer and the Sleeper Q and A Series #004

From Priscila Damacela: Tell me exactly what you were doing when you came up with the name The Dreamer and the Sleeper and why did that name stick?

Answered by Nick: I was reading Edgar Alen Poe for a class in college. I don't remember which poem it was, and I don't think it specifically said "The Dreamer and the Sleeper" in it. But the idea came from that. I called Easton and said, hey, want to be called The Dreamer and the Sleeper? He said yes. And that was that. Sorry! It's not very exciting.

I will say that I have always been really comfortable with the name. When people ask me what my band is called and I say "The Dreamer and the Sleeper" it feels comfortable to say. I hate it when a band name is really awkward to say. In college I recorded a CD under the moniker "Heart is a Hand Grenade". I still cringe when I say that name... I don't really know what it is, but The Dreamer and the Sleeper just fits us!
