Back in April, three fourths of Damiera left the band to pursue other goals. The departing members were “seeking satisfaction elsewhere,” says continuing member and vocalist Dave Raymond, “they wanted to take another road for now… without having to be committed to a group setting.”

The new members consist of guitarist Steve Downs and drummer Josh Sparks, formerly of the Iowa-based band Spirit of the Stairway, and Jayson Dezuzio, a long time professional producer whose resume includes work with Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance, and more. Dezuzio also produced the latest Damiera album, M(US)IC, which was released in January.

“I love music, and I will continue to let go of every excess (money, home, health, etc) in order to find my end in it,” states Raymond, “I have been extremely fortunate this far, but I’d rather end with nothing and satisfied than end with everything and not use it.”

Damiera will pick up where they left off, fire up the van, and begin touring with the new lineup in August.

We will be doing different legs of this tour and we will be bringing bands we not only think rock… but who are just all around good people that understand the importance of hard work and honesty. The bands/bros we will be bringing are:

Envy On the Coast (7/06-7/17)
A Thorn for Every Heart (7/18-8/03)
I Am the Avalanche (8/04-8/17)
A Day to Remember (ALL DATES)
Valeyra (ALL DATES)

We cannot wait to hit the road with all of our good friends in these incredible bands.

Although, there is something else we would like to mention.

Every day we come across so many young bands who have been working their asses off trying to make a name for themselves. We see how important this life is to those doing it for the sake of working hard and bringing back honest music to the fans and that is something we have always appreciated. We told ourselves that one day if we ever got the chance, we would do our best to help out as many of those bands as possible.

So many bands get to a certain level and forget the fact that they once struggled to be where they are. Some take for granted the fact that they had good family, friends etc. from every angle believing in them and being supportive when they were at their worst of times and we think that sucks.

So with that said, we will be adding a local band on every single bill in every single city. Some will be good friends, some will be who we have met at gas stations and some will be found on the good ole’ Information Super Highway. No matter how we find them, we WILL have a local band on every show.

We might not know locals in every town we play, so we set up an email and myspace so people can let us know. Tell us about the best bands we dont know here www.myspace.com/196158479 or thesleepingtour2007@gmail.com.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this.

We really hope to see EVERY SINGLE ONE of our fans, new and old at these shows. Please come out and support. Lets have a tweakin good time!”
