Our Story
In 2006, Joshua and Eli met while working together at Hal Leonard publishing. Both of them had aspirations of starting a band. A few months later when they sat down to strum through some songs, Wake Up Bedhead was born.
Wake Up Bedhead is: Joshua Lauer, Elijah Beach, Jason Jacksen and Sherry Dahlen.
Accomplishments:
Opened for the Arctic Monkeys May 27th at the Rave in Milwaukee.
Released the Hook EP online July 2007.
Mentioned in an article on Spin.com as a band to check out in the Spin Hot Pursuit in October 2007.
Released Put Your Hands Up music video on YouTube, December 2010.
The Sound:
If the Beatles, the Strokes, Weezer and Dinosaur Jr. got together and had a love child, that child could be Wake Up Bedhead, heart-pounding alternative indie rock.
We perform primarily in Winona, MN, but we’re looking to expand on that. Currently, we’re mixing down our first full-length album for release this fall.
