How do you talk about “the most most gloriously unclassifiable American band in existence”? Emerging out of Oakland, California at the turn of the century, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum turn their concerts into rapturous cult-like ceremonies, complete with fantastic costumes, brilliant lights, Butoh dances, and puppet shows. The quintet’s music has been called art-rock, avant-prog metal, and grindcore funk theatre. We at Wavelength just think you should be there to experience it. This will mark SGM’s first appearance in Toronto since 2007, as they tour the globe in support of The Last Human Being, their latest album, released in 2024 after a 13-year hiatus.

May 14 will be opened by Toronto’s own Dastgâmachine, the Persian psychedelic dub trio of Mahmood Schricker, Caleb Klager and Neonlichter.
