----
*Lance Patton (some time vocalist)
*[[Kris Stratton]] (occasional singer, full-time only fan)

== Highlights ==

Due to the infrequency of Thunderchicken, Lyle and Kevin gathered together with friends and musicians Makai Catudio and Mike Hamley to practice.

Nothing's early musical career was largely focused on having fun. Though Kevin and Lyle were clearly into the newer punk genres by this time, Makai and Mike were still large fans of metal genres. None the less, the band focused largely on various covers of songs by Danzig, Slayer, and Metallica.

Nothing was featured in a 1992 edition of the Minot Central Campus school newspaper. They practiced frequently at the Community Center on the Minot Air Force Base. They even once practiced on the beach of Nelson-Carlson Lake, using battery operated amplifiers and a very scaled down drum kit.

In the Summer of 1993, following the breakup of [[Thunder Chicken]], Lyle decided to quit Nothing and ceased playing the drums. The band invited friend and musician [[Cory Prough]] in his place. It was after this time when Nothing began to play shows in Minot.

==Trivia==
*While sitting in Kevin's basement after practicing, they brainstormed around the name of their new band. The group found it difficult to come up with a name. Kevin yelled across the basement to his mother who was doing laundry, "Mom, what should we call ourselves?" Kevin's mother responded, "Oh... Nothing."

Thunder Chicken

*[[Bruce Wuollet]] (guitar, vocals)
*[[Lyle Snyder]] (drums)
*[[Kevin Habberstad]] (bass, vocals)

----

*[[Lucas Sult]] (added to the lineup as a bassist for shows during some absences of Bruce, while Kevin would play guitar)

==Highlights==

Thunder Chicken was born in the summer of 1990. Bruce Wuollet, (who had previously been a guitarist in the band Orange Pirates, later called [[Nobody's Children]]), had convinced his good friend Kevin Habberstad to buy an electric bass from the Sears catalog. Kevin bought the bass and taught himself to play.

At the beginning of the summer, Lyle had bought his first drumset, a blue-flake mix of Slingerland and Ludwig brand drums. He too taught himself how to play. Hearing of this, Kevin and Bruce had asked their friend Lyle to join them. The experienced guitarist and the two self-starters practiced frequently in the basement of Bruce's mother's house. They played many cover songs from bands like Green Day, The Pixies, All, Danzig, The Misfits, and Nirvana. During this summer they also began to write their own songs.

Tragedy struck the band at the end of the summer. Bruce was moving to Shakopee, MN to live with his father. Despite the distance of their guitarist, Thunder Chicken managed to stay together. They practiced and played shows whenever Bruce came home to visit his mother and in the summers when Bruce stayed in Minot. During the summer of 1992 they recorded their one and only self-titled album. It was produced by Steph Gylden at the recording studio at Minot State University.

The distribution of their cassette was rather disappointing. Though all 300 copies of their tape sold, Thunder Chicken had failed to capitalize on the burgeoning punk and alternative scene in Minot. Succumbing to geographical distance and in-fighting, Thunder Chicken disbanded in the summer of 1993.

==Shows==

*December 30, 1992: [[Lawncare]], Thunder Chicken, [[59 Cents]] and [[Nobody's Children]] at the Elk's Club.

==Discography==
*"Thunder Chicken" seven song cassette, 1992 Greasy Cookie Records.

==Trivia==
*One afternoon after practicing, Kevin and Bruce were watching monster-trucks. Very impressed with the monster-truck known as Thunder Chicken, they decided to name themselves after it, honoring the vehicle's car crushing abilities.

*[[Mike Hamley]] was asked from the beginning to be in Thunder Chicken, and even accepted. He even posed for the band's very first picture. For unknown reasons however, he never practiced, and hence decided not to join.

== Highlights ==

Shortly after the demise of Thunderchicken, Lyle and Kevin gathered together with friends and musicians Makai Catudio and Mike Hamley to practice. While sitting in Kevin's basement after practicing, they brainstormed around the name of their new band. The group found it difficult to come up with a name. Kevin yelled across the basement to his mother who was doing laundry, "Mom, what should we call ourselves?" Kevin's mother responded, "Oh... Nothing."

Nothing's early musical career was largely focused on having fun. Though Kevin and Lyle were clearly into the newer punk genres by this time, Makai and Mike were still large fans of metal genres. None the less, the band focused largely on various covers of songs by Danzig, Slayer, and Metallica.

Nothing was featured in a 1992 edition of the Minot Central Campus school newspaper. They practiced frequently at the Community Center on the Minot Air Force Base. They even once practiced on the beach of Nelson-Carlson Lake, using battery operated amplifiers, and a very scaled down drum kit.

In the Fall of 1993, Lyle decided to quit Nothing and ceased playing the drums. The band invited friend and musician [[Cory Prough]] in his stead. It was after this time when Nothing began to play shows in Minot.

*[[Kris Stratton]] (occasional singer, full-time only fan)

== Highlights ==

Shortly after the demise of Thunderchicken, Lyle and Kevin gathered together with friends and musicians Makai Catudio and Mike Hamley to practice. While sitting in Kevin's basement after practicing, they brainstormed around the name of their new band. The group found it difficult to come up with a name. Kevin yelled across the basement to his mother who was doing laundry, "Mom, what should we call ourselves?" Kevin's mother responded, "Oh... Nothing."

Nothing's early musical career was largely focused on having fun. Though Kevin and Lyle were clearly into the newer punk genres by this time, Makai and Mike were still large fans of metal genres. None the less, the band focused largely on various covers of songs by Danzig, Slayer, and Metallica.

Nothing was featured in a 1992 edition of the Minot Central Campus school newspaper. They practiced frequently at the Community Center on the Minot Air Force Base. They even once practiced on the beach of Nelson-Carlson Lake, using battery operated amplifiers, and a very scaled down drum kit.

In the Fall of 1993, Lyle decided to quit Nothing and ceased playing the drums. The band invited friend and musician [[Cory Prough]] in his stead. It was after this time when Nothing began to play shows in Minot.
