Sounds like The Thermals vacationing with some Buzzcocked White Stripes in cosmopolitan Kansas, sharing hot tubs with The Kinks and saunas with Nirvana--often sounding frenzied or angry, but strangely good-natured about it.

Sleeping in the Aviary was formed in 2003 and underwent a few lineup changes before founding members and long-time friends Elliott Kozel and Phil Mahlstadt finally found their perfect match in former Eyebeams songwriter and drummer, Michael Sienkowski. The band has just finished recording their debut album, âOh, This Old Thing?â with Ricky Riemer at Science of Sound, a basement studio in Madison where they felt they could achieve what they were looking for â a crisp and full recording while maintaining a DIY ethic. The outcome totals 13 tracks in 23 minutes.

The CD version of âOh, This Old Thing?â (Science of Sound Records) is scheduled for release February 6, 2007, coinciding with its add-date on national independent and college radio stations (promotion through Planetary Group). Vinyl due out February 20, 2007. The band will begin its North American tour later that same month, followed by one in Europe.

"The folks who left before Sleeping in the Aviary took the stage should kick themselves - hard. Raw, punky and a little nerdy, the young Madison, Wis., band played hard and fast, sweating and even panting a little bit. Their songs were surprisingly catchy ..." The Spin, Nashville Scene
