We Can't Sleep at Night were conceived somewhere between the echoes of post-punk and the rising tide of power disco in 2004. Originating from the musically prolific town of Trbovlje they have been active in the studio and in concerts ever since. This three-piece band thrives on distorted guitar sound, catchy bass riffs and relentless vocals and can burst into a glistening frenzy at any given time.
Background
The story of We Can't Sleep at Night is a story about friendship that was tightly bound together by music. Brothers Jure and Marko Lavrin joined forces with Gašper Vozelj in 2004 in their home towns of Trbovlje and Kisovec. Their academic pursuits took them to different parts of Slovenia but they remained together as a band. Later, Primož Vozelj joined them as a live sound technician. They performed and recorded in this formation until 2013 when they disbanded.
Live
Although not that easy to categorize the band performed many concerts somewhere at the junction of post-punk, new wave, power pop. They played with internationally acclaimed bands such as Interpol, MGMT, New Young Pony Club and !!! (Chk Chk Chk), performed at the Nevermind - Tribute to Nirvana event which was held in September 2011 at Gala Hala Summer Stage and did a three-week tour of South Africa in 2010.
