Blind Melon’s “Sleepyhouse”
...Link to photo on flickr of the “yellow house” referred to in Blind Melon’s song “Sleepyhouse” from their debut cd. Too bad it’s not yellow anymore.
The Sleepyhouse is what the band named the house they lived in prior to recording Blind Melon in 1991. It was in Durham, North Carolina.
Shannon: It meant more for us to have a group that had unity and people to lean on if you were fucking up. We established it there in North Carolina, which is priceless. We caught up on all that sleep we lost in L.A.
Rogers: Staying up all night, then sleeping half the day away then getting up then you hear someone start playing then you move down to the living room then everybody congregates for a few hours on end. It gets to be really productive. There’s nothing in Durham so we got a lot done.
Christopher: Living in that house for months was like being in a band for five years.
