Sleepy Sleepers

Sleepy Sleepers, a Finnish comedy rock band from Lahti, was formed in 1974. Between 1975 and 1989, the group released 19 albums, including Sinulle äiti (1975), Live I Bordell (1976), Takaisin Karjalaan (1977), and In the Rio (1982). Known for their provocative shows and controversial themes, Sleepy Sleepers often addressed taboo subjects in their music. Notable achievements include gold certifications for albums such as The Mopott Show (1979) and platinum certification for Sleepy Sleepers Sings Matti ja Teppo (1987). Several influential musicians were members of the group at one point, with Sakke Järvenpää and Mato Valtonen later going on to form the Leningrad Cowboys.
