Sleep Suppressor is a contemporary Jazz-Rock band based in Newcastle consisting of George Ivanov (guitar), Haaruun Miller (saxes), Dave Parker (bass) and Joe Deans (drums). Described by their audiences as Crazy-Jazz, their music pulls from a wide range of genres, including: prog rock, jazz, punk, and video game music to name a few. Since their launch in early 2023, Sleep Suppressor have obliterated audiences’ expectations (and ears) in both jazz and rock venues across the North East, combining the musicianship of a jazz band with the live antics of a rock group.
George and Haaruun write all the music. They have been writing, recording and playing together for over seven years. The name Sleep Suppressor is associated with the late nights they used to spend discussing musical ideas.
Joe Deans has been gigging on drums with trad jazz bands since a young age and also is an in-demand bassist and skateboard instructor! Dave Parker is a veteran of the North-East jazz scene and who has played in many units from duos to big bands.
