Nothing Static formed in the winter of 2002 while Brittany Benjamin (vocals), Jon Storm (keys/backing vocals), Matt Vannelli (guitar), and David Sellner (drums) were attending the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Each members individual influences ultimately created a stand-alone sound, featuring larger-than-life vocals that reveal Brittanys ability for both unrelenting power and subtle grace, combined with aggressive guitar melodies and dark synth hooks.
Quickly becoming a staple of the Minneapolis/St Paul club scene, Nothing Static has developed a pantheon of dedicated fans in the twin cities performing to crowds at venues such as the Fine Line Music Caf, First Avenue, and The Quest. With the goal of becoming a national touring band, Nothing Static continues gaining new fans with performances that stretch throughout greater Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and beyond.
In early 2004 Nothing Static formed a relationship with producer/engineer Karl Michael Demer (Sounds of Blackness, Skywynd), and went onto record their highly anticipated debut album, Surround. Released independently on Atomic K Records in April of 2005, Nothing Static held a regional release party to a standing room-only crowd at the Fine Line Music Cafe in downtown Minneapolis.

Well...
At one Point we went by Tried For Fine.
At One Point we had Matt Anderson playing bass
At one point Andrew Leaf was our man at the low end.
At one point we were playing our first show on a Tuesday night in Mario's Keller Bar.
At another we were able to look upon the atendees of the State Fair while playing our music.
At numourous points we played The Fine Line, First Ave. and The Quest Club.
At one point we had the pleasure of opening for Interpol.
At One Point we were recording Tracks with AT at Soliton Studio
At another point we were recording with Mr. Demer at Atomic K
At this point it regrets me to inform you that Nothing Static will soon be on an undetermined hiatus. After much discussion we realized that we all needed to take time to pursure other interests and will no longer be able to work and perform as the band that became an identity for all of us. Looking back, and looking forward we have so many people to thank and give well wishes to that we simply can't express enough gratitude for all of you who have been there for us, listened to us, and helped us become better musicians and people.
Moving forward, we will be playing out our in-town shows, and continuing to sell CDs through our website and sites like iTunes. As it stands now Nothing Static's last scheduled Twin Cities performaces will be at the Fine Line on Sept. 29th, and at The Rock on Nov. 3rd. Even though we will no longer be performing as Nothing Static, I know that all members will continue to move forward in their musical careers, and we'll keep you up to date through this site, and our myspace page, as far as what projects our members are taking part in. On that note, if you enjoy music, please check out Japhlet's solo work. He is a very talented player, and was a great addition to Nothing Static for the past year. You can listen to his solo stick work at http://www.myspace.com/japhletba
In closing I would just like to try to express how much we do appreciate all the support all of you have given us over the years. I have great memories of writing and rehersing with my bandmates in the confines of our practice space. However, I have many unforgetable memories from our four and a half years of playing live shows. I would once again like to say to everyone who; came to a show, gave us a listen, gave us well wishes, gave us critisism, helped us along the way, or was just simply cool - Thanks a lot.

Hey EVERYONE!!! Brittany here, of the former band Nothing Static! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone so much for listening to our music and supporting us by coming to our shows. As DSell noted above we have been through a lot as a band and we will each continue on with our own projects individually as musicians. When one thing ends a new thing begins- so as Nothing Static comes to a halt, a new member of my family will arrive. YES!!! I am PREGNANT!!!! I'm so thrilled to begin a family with my husband. It has always been extremely important to me to have a family, but it by NO MEANS indicates that I will stop singing or performing. Each of the Nothing Static members will have amazing new projects in the future- there is no doubt in my mind! Thanks again everyone for your support! Any remember- being able to carry a child is just another way WOMEN ROCK!
LOVE,
BRITTANY

sorry for that I must have passed you the improper one.
That's funny because I tried that one a good while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they gavelike tickets and stuff instead of money.
But here, the working site is
E X T R A 1 2 . C O M
it's the one I am cashing $750 a week with putting in about 22 hours a week, even up to like 32 hours if I'm motivated.
When you get your login make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the exclusive section because they are the ones that pay you the most, I got $55 for one that took me 30 minutes the other day. You'll see what I'm rambling about when you start up.
Jessica started taking them too and she's cashing $700 a week, it's making me so jealous because I'm the one that stold her which one to subscribe with now she's making lots more than me.
So me and Joshua are getting prepared to leave now, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and tell me if you have any problems. bye
