    Bio

    Ansomia is an Anglo-Italian Rock Band from La Spezia with Dario Cambiaso on guitar, Giacomo Lomasti on bass and synth, Iacopo Iorio on drums, and singer songwriter Leo James Manzini on vocals and guitar.    When the band started in 2008 it was all about live gigs;  They opened for Popa Chubby, The Treves Blues Band, Eric Lugosch, Matthew Ryan, Hussy Hicks, Pan Del Diavolo and Zen Circus. They rehearsed and recorded demos in their home studio: a 20 square meter room in a converted warehouse. It was the headquarters of many bands; a place where you could make music at any time, night or day. The dirty chalk building was surrounded by stacks of containers waiting to be shipped, and recording sessions were often interrupted by lorries driving up the uneven road, making the three storey building shake like crazy. This was where the local Indie scene was happening.    They were making music and connections, eating at a shopping mall, taking it in turn to sleep on the couch or on the floor and playing gigs.   In 2013,  Ansomia were on stage at the Arezzo Wave Love Festival and the Music Italy Show in Bologna. They had just announced the release of their official debut album - 14 tracks that would never go public, because the band broke up.  Thus began a long period in which the members of Ansomia followed their individual paths. It was time of personal growth, soul healing and artistic evolution.  In the summer of 2018 the four friends reunited for a jam. They reminisced and played their original music, but also swapped ideas and began compiling together new songs, through which a different path emerged. Now ten years older, they have a darker sound, characterized by dropped guitars, snare wires off, a synthesizer, and lower vocal pitch.
