The Sleepy Jackson
Australian alternative rock band

Australian alternative rock band
The Sleepy Jackson were an Australian alternative rock band formed in Perth, Western Australia. The band's name was inspired by a former drummer, who was narcoleptic. The band revolved around the distinctive vocal style of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Luke Steele. Stemming from a musical family, Luke's father Rick Steele was a local blues musician, and two of Luke's siblings are also musicians, with brother Jesse a former member of The Sleepy Jackson and Rick's Hot Biscuit Band, and sister Katy, who fronts another Perth rock band, Little Birdy. While a series of acclaimed EPs brought The Sleepy Jackson to prominence in Australia, it was the release of their 2003 album Lovers and 2006 second album Personality – One Was a Spider, One Was a Bird that directed significant international focus upon the band.
