Eternal damnation is the hell of a long time!

About Me

Formed in 2004 for all the wrong reasons and best intentions, about nothin’ is back and ready to rock after a tumultuous reformulation. Having lost its first drummer to spontaneous combustion and the second to a witness relocation program, Greg "hitman" Bridges signed on as drummer for Chicago’s premier quirky-alt-prog-hard-grunge-rock-power-trio only after a vigorous search of Craig’s List, local music stores and marijuana dens. After an arduous auditioning process, Greg was pushed to the brink of “crazy” when he agreed to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and anchor Chicago’s premier quirky-alt-prog-hard-grunge-rock-power-trio, about nothin’. As Chicago’s premier quirky-alt-prog-hard-grunge-rock-power-trio, about nothin’ is also comprised of ever inimitable guitar player, slayer Jay “Monster” Montana and the prominent in his own mind bassist/vocalist Nick “Nicky T.” Thiakos. Now combined with the hard hitting fervor of Greg Bridges, about nothin’ is bringing their premier power-trio brand of quirky-alt-prog-hard-grunge-rock to the streets of Chicago.
