Rockumentary
Jeremy Gee followed us for quite a while and put together a great documentary about what it's like doing what we do. Visit our channel on YouTube to check it out.
Founded by Wisconsin natives and longtime childhood friends Aaron Shekey (vocals, guitar) and Ryan McGrew (bass), Apparently Nothing creates an infectious blend of modern and classic rock swagger. Soon after the band’s inception, the duo enlisted Layne Knutson (drums) and Charlie Abbott (guitar, vocals, keyboard). What formed was an embodiment of the American midwest — the blue collar, but educated communites that raised Apparently Nothing’s founding members.
After entering college in 2005, the band made the decision to move their home base to Minneapolis, MN. Their second full length, entitled “Sprawl” was independently released in December of 2005. A more cohesive effort than its predecessor, “Sprawl” received rave reviews from midwest fans and publications alike. This bout of good fortune led to Apparently Nothing’s live debut in Minneapolis to over 1500 fans at the Weisman Art Museum in September of 2006.
Following the success of “Sprawl” and subsequent tours, the band immediately began writing for what would become an EP entitled “Apparently Nothing & The Usual Things”, a testament to a new musical direction that strayed from the no holds barred powerchords of Apparently Nothing’s past. Instead, “Apparently Nothing & The Usual Things” featured lavish production that included a small marching percussion ensemble, and focused on melody and lyrical content rather than rock n’ roll swagger. Released in August of 2007 in Middleton, WI at the largely attended Good Neighbor Festival, “The Usual Things”, gained the attention of many important figures in the music industry, as well as management companies and labels alike.
The band has since been touring and promoting the already successful EP, and has enlisted the help of Art Alexakis, iconic front man of the band “Everclear”, for production of their third independent full length effort, scheduled to be recorded in September, 2008...
has played with...
..The Living Things, The Vacation, Pink Spiders, Burden Brothers, Houston Calls, Bedlight for Blue Eyes, Tokyo Rose, The Matches, Everclear, Red, and many more major/indie label artists...
Latest Review
As written in Rick's Cafe: "... Apparently Nothing is just scary good, and may be the best rock ensemble in the city right now."
