About Instead of Sleeping

Coming from very humble beginnings, Instead of Sleeping started out as a late-night, solo project, lead by guitarist, Shaun Sweeney. After showing bassist, Tony Tortella, the two decided to make an actual band out of what was originally intended to be a side project. The two got together with guitarist, Woody Wright, and drummer, Ryan Grimes, and started the all-instrumental band, Instead of Sleeping. Still a relatively young and new to the music scene band, Instead of Sleeping has had the pleasure of playing venues such as...
-The Lava Lounge
-Garfield Artworks (opening for Kris Roe of the Ataris)
-Club Matrix
-Beecher's
-Hookah Bookah
-and some other side shows

We enjoy making music that is different from the overwhelming population of talent in the Pittsburgh area, and we hope that you enjoy us as well!
