I remember back in the day before Weedeater became as popular as they are now that Dixie Dave, the vocalist and bass player, stated that the name Weedeater came from the people in the first Stephen King Dark Tower book who are addicted to eating the actual weeds that grow in a town that Roland visits. Much cooler…

Weedeater tour pretty regularly, I've seen them a few times. Sleep have been playing a few shows here or there but no full tour I don't think.

They have four albums.
