Following the breakup of Thought Crime, singer John Irish, guitarist Jason Dayton, and drummer Aaron McVeigh joined with former Primate bassist Dan Kingdon to form Sleep in Fame. Irish was eventually replaced by ex-Fingertight frontman Scott Rose who sang for the group until their breakup. McVeigh and Kingdon went on to play with Karate High School. There's an early Sleep in Fame demo that was on their MySpace page when they first started (just guitar and vocals) that was amazing, and we've been trying to get our hands on it but it's nowhere to be found. Drop us a line if you know what I'm talking about.
Sleep In Fame was
- Jason Dayton: guitar (previously of Growth of Alliance, Thought Crime)
- John Irish: first vocalist (previously with Thought Crime, later Measure Red, now a journalist based in Anchorage, AK, publishing at Alaska Commons)
