"Even When I'm Sleeping" is a song by Australian Indie rock and Indie pop group Leonardo's Bride, which was the second single from their first studio album, Angel Blood. Released in 1997, "Even When I'm Sleeping" peaked at No. 4 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Singles Chart in July 1997 and was certified Gold.
In May 2001 "Even When I'm Sleeping", written by guitarist-keyboardist, Dean Manning, was selected by Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time.
Leonardo's Bride formed in 1989, when Abby Dobson and Dean Manning performed together at an open mike night at the Crossroads Theatre in Sydney. Dobson and Manning travelled around Europe and America busking and playing in clubs and bars. In 1992, the band had its first performance in Sydney with a new line-up, consisting of Dobson on vocals, Manning on guitar, bouzouki and vocals, Alex Hewetson on double bass and Antero Ceschin on drums. They released their first EP in 1993 entitled Leonardo's Bride. In 1994, Patrick Hyndes and Jon Howell joined; they released a second EP in 1995 titled Temperamental Friend.
