The Sleepy Sleepers, also known as Sleeparit, are a Finnish rock group founded in the mid-1970s. Famous for their outrageous humor, provocative lyrics, and unpredictable stage antics, they quickly earned a reputation as one of Finland’s most controversial and entertaining bands. Mixing rock ’n’ roll with sharp political and social satire, they often stirred up debate and even faced bans from radio and television. Despite — or perhaps because of — this notoriety, they gained a loyal following and became a true cult act.

The band also played a key role in Finnish music history by giving birth to the Leningrad Cowboys, who carried on their mix of parody, spectacle, and larger-than-life rock energy to international fame.

⇢discography

 

Throughout their career, the Sleepy Sleepers released several albums that combined comedy, parody, and raw rock energy, making them a fixture of the Finnish underground scene. Beyond music, they were also skilled showmen, using comedy sketches, outrageous costumes, and absurd stunts as part of their act. Importantly, the Sleepy Sleepers are also the roots of the Leningrad Cowboys: many of the Cowboys’ founding members came from the Sleeparit, carrying over the same spirit of parody, satire, and larger-than-life performance into their next project.
