Artist History Known as Somnus until mid-2000 when, to avoid any confusion with another band of the same name, the band's name was changed to Insomnis. So from sleep to sleepless. Although Insomnis is primarily a home studio project, we (Eric Lyman-guitar, vocals; Jon Liddiard-acoustic bass) had the opportunity of opening for Low in 1998.

Group Members Eric Lyman with occasional guests.

Instruments acoustic and electric guitar, acoustic and electric bass guitar, double bass, organ, piano, various drums and percussion, voice

Press Reviews "Insomnis shows a great facility for shaping sound, in a highly personalized context. Organic, evocative, an impetus for dreaming..." --M. Gira (Swans, The Angels of Light)... "Insomnis may not take you away to a restful place where all is peaceful and pleasant. But if you let it, Insomnis will submerge you in a waking dream that is seductive, narcotic and just a little bit really terrifying." --LD Beghtol (Flare, TMF, moth wranglers)... "That scene in the original Godzilla at the end where Godzilla slowly walks back into the ocean--Insomnis is like that, but with better grammar." --Alan Sparhawk (Low)
