This "Sleepin' In On Sunday" video, originally used as a demo, was put together many, many years ago by AJ Caruso, using two VHS machines.

Straitjacket Smile, formed in June of 1992, was based out of New Orleans, LA, and featured several of Louisiana's top talents. Within a year the band managed to climb to the top of the Louisiana music scene and earned opening spots for such heavy-weights as Kansas, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Zebra, Lillian Axe and Foreigner. They performed extensively in and around the South East United States, promoting and selling out of a six song EP entitled "Temporary Sanity". The band recieved many requests at rock radio stations and developed a large regional following. With addictive, hard rock songs, a high energy show and vocal harmonies reminiscent of influential bands of the the 70's, Straitjacket Smile combined the perfect mixture of sight and sound, melodic rock performance.
