Team Sleep

Team Sleep is an American experimental alternative rock/post-rock group led by Chino Moreno.
==History==
Team Sleep started when Chino Moreno and his friend Todd Wilkinson bought a cassette tape Portastudio-type four-track recorder in 1994. They continued this collaboration through the first two Deftones albums, though on a rather casual basis. http://www.team-sleep.com/biography.htm 
DJ Crook, a long-time friend and roommate of Deftones turntablist/keyboardist Frank Delgado, added beats and turntables to "Teenager", a song featuring glitch and trip hop influences. http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/06/22/11-deftones-white-pony/ 
Team Sleep performed a number of live shows on the West Coast of the United States in late 2001 and early 2002, with Moreno, Wilkinson, DJ Crook, Rick Verrett, Zach Hill, Dan Elkan, Sonny Mayugba and Joel Tidwell handling instrumentation. Their early live set included a loose cover of the Smashing Pumpkins "The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)", among others. https://soundcloud.com/deftfan/the-aeroplane-flies-high-smashttps://www.reddit.com/r/deftones/comments/tkndkf/team_sleep_natalie_portman_live_2001/ 
A full album's worth of material was finished in 2002–03, but not officially released. The instrumental song "The Passportal" was included on The Matrix Reloaded: The Album, the April 2003 soundtrack album for the film The Matrix Reloaded. https://web.archive.org/web/20050411102704/http://www.team-sleep.com/disco.htm 
Team Sleep's record was originally scheduled for release in November 2004, but Maverick Records were reportedly so impressed by the album that they postponed the release until mid-2005 to allow for promotion. The debut album contained only five of the original tracks, three of those were heavily reworked. In October 2004, DJ C-Minus premiered the Team Sleep demo "Cambodia" while opening for Deftones at a concert at House of Blues in West Hollywood. The title of this song was later changed to "Ever (Foreign Flag)". The official Team Sleep website appeared in early 2005 and included songs and videos for free downloading. https://thevogue.com/artists/team-sleep/ 
Their album, Team Sleep, was finally released on May 10, 2005, to mostly positive reviews. http://www.mtv.com/news/1498153/for-the-record-quick-news-on-justin-timberlake-xzibit-ja-rule-michael-jackson-jamie-lynn-spears-more/
