The band fuses classical, industrial, and art-rock themes throughout their music. They are known to perform elaborate routines on stage and discuss possibly fictitious stories of dada artists and mathematicians. ==History== After the disbanding of Idiot Flesh, Dan Rathbun and Nils Frykdahl joined with Charming Hostess member Carla Kihlstedt (of which Rathbun and Frykdahl were also members) to form Sleepytime Gorilla Museum with Moe! Staiano and David Shamrock. Their first performance, on June 22, 1999, was to a single banana slug (''Ariolimax dolichophallus'').〔(Sleepytime Gorilla Museum )〕 The following night's performance was their first to a human audience. Some time during the recording of ''Grand Opening and Closing'' (2001), drummer David Shamrock left the band and was replaced with Frank Grau. Grau also co-released the album, instigated their first tour and managed the band. During the recording of the follow-up, ''Of Natural History'' (2004), Grau left the band and was replaced with a new drummer, Matthias Bossi, formerly of Skeleton Key. The ''Of Natural History'' tour saw Moe! Staiano's exit, and new multi-instrumentalist Michael Iago Mellender's entrance. In January 2006 Sleepytime Gorilla Museum signed to The End Records who re-released their début ''Grand Opening and Closing'' with three bonus tracks. During early 2007, the title and track list for their third studio album, ''In Glorious Times'' was announced with the release date set for May 29, 2007. Prior to the release, an mp3 and music video of "Helpless Corpses Enactment" were made available online. In February 2011, the band announced that they would play three final shows in California. It was also their intention to release a final album, a short film, and a live DVD.〔(The Future Imperfect ) announcement on Facebook, February 14, 2011.〕 In 2013, Matthias Bossi and Mike Patton, Scott Amendola and William Winant performed a live score for the 1924 silent film Waxworks,〔(Waxworks with Mike Patton, Scott Amendola, Matthias Bossi and William Winant ). sffs.com.
