“I Was Wrong” Official Video

Shaun — Wed, 18 May 2011 05:01:21 +0000

We’re so excited to announce the release of our first official music video! I Was Wrong was featured on the WB’s hit show, The Vampire Diaries late last year and has been gaining momentum ever since. We can’t thank all the Vampire Diaries fans enough, you guys have made so much possible for us, thank you thank you thank you! Please take the time to share the video on Facebook (it’s that convenient little button below at the end of this post) and tell all your peeps on Twitter (another convenient little button down there). Without further ado:

We’d like to give a HUGE thanks to our good buddy, Ryan Booth, who shot this video for us. His talent is beyond measure and we’re so grateful for him. Make sure to go check out his work HERE. We came up with the concept and shot the video all in one day down in Houston, TX. It was a BLAST! And we only dropped/broke 1 camera while doing it. Look for that video soon. The most impressive thing about this video is that Chris did all his own stunts.

SS Lyrics: “I Was Wrong” (from CW’s Vampire Diaries)

chrispearson — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 03:30:01 +0000

Have you purchased your copy of “I Was Wrong” from iTunes or Sleeperstar’s online store?! Here are the lyrics:

“I saw you fell asleep while you were reading // The pages on your face you had been weeping

And I saw, what it was // That I had done

Last night we fell apart and broke to pieces // Our love was in the hall all packed in boxes

And I saw, what it was // That I had done… to you // I Was Wrong, I Was Wrong”

Sept Oct Tour Video!!

WE’RE GOING ON TOUR!!

Fearless Radio // Photos

Shaun — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 01:36:09 +0000

Fearless Radio is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to stop through when we’re in Chicago. The people there are so great and we always have a great time. Here are some photos from our June 30th appearance. You can listen to the interview HERE, and you should because we are reeeeeaaaalllyy funny. Make sure you go check out Fearless Radio’s site and tune into their shows. They rule. Aaaannndd they are located in an old historic building that is in the processes of being renovated. It’s way cool with a old freight elevator, factory style doors, and a finished out rooftop with a breathtaking view of downtown Chicago. Very cool.

Ps. We performed 2 songs on air and I took some video of it. Look for that in an upcoming post.

Friends, Romans, Countryman… We hope this finds you all enjoying the turn of the tides aka “Spring 2010” and the disappearance of that unfamiliar substance that you Northerners refer to as “snow?” Although we’ll miss hurling snowballs at the Green River Ordinance guys during load in, we’re so excited for everything below!

SLEEPERSTAR SPRING TOUR 2010

The tour starts April 17, 2010 at a Austin College in Sherman, Texas. We could talk about it, or you could just watch this BRAND NEW promo video that includes great footage captured by our beloved tour manager Jacob Combs on the previous GRO tour!

Just Another Ghost (Sleeperstar’s new full length record) is actually finished! It was 15 months in the making, but we’re finally going to get it in your hands. Thank you for your patience!

Tentative iTunes release date is June 22, 2010 BUT as you’ll see below you will be able to buy an advanced physical copy at the CD release party in our hometown of Dallas, Texas!

SLEEPERSTAR HOMETOWN CD RELEASE SHOW/PARTY!!

We’re working out the details on the hometown CD release show in Dallas, TX. It’s more than likely going to take place on June 18, 2010 at the House Of Blues! Pencil that in on your calendar’s! There will probably be an Austin, TX “home away from home” release show as well!

Massachusetts Countryside

Shaun — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:00:43 +0000

After our amazing show in Boston we find ourselves with 2 days off; a rarity when touring. By God’s grace and the generosity of dear friends we find ourselves staying at a ridiculously nice house in the Massachusetts countryside surrounded by trees, snow, polo horses, stables, rolling hills, and peace; a welcomed change of pace from the tour van. It’s such a blessing to be a part of a community where selflessness and generosity are a way of life. Thank you Jeremiah and Ashley for being so gracious to us with your home.

GRO @ The Note 2/11

Here’s a few photos from GRO’s performance at The Note in West Chester, PA. We also got onstage with them and did a little rendition of “A Little Help From My Friends”. Enjoy:
