The Daysleepers were formed in November 2004, in Buffalo, New York, by Jeff Kandefer who gathered some friends - Scott Beckstein, Elizabeth Kandefer and Mario Gimbrone - from other bands in the local music scene that shared a love of ambient, ethereal indie rock. The Daysleepers self-released their first two EPs on their Rain Delay Music imprint. The Daysleepers Debut EP "Hide Your Eyes" (December 2005) won the band many fans around the world (selling out the first pressing)
