Siphoning Dreams is the 2nd official Full Length LP from Two Ton Sloth (Brad Hamers & Big Pauper). Most of the album’s songs were either written and created while practicing for their “Battery Opperated Martyr Tour” of Europe in 2007 or were created while on the road, in between shows. The songs were then refined and recorded in the year and a half after returning from Europe.  Siphoning Dreams was meant to be a prelude to the never-released Two Ton Sloth LP, Prairie Fire.
Siphoning Dreams was released as a cassette (out-of-print) and FREE digital download:

“If slam poetry was a religion, Brad Hamers (along with Saul Williams, for obvious reasons) would be its God. I kid you not. His stuff is AMAZING. Has hip-hop ever made you cry? no? well, Brad Hamers will. Not because he’s evil, but because he’s so, so wonderful.”
