Artist History No Big Loss was formed in 1996. Before this, Jim Dietzen and Pat O'Connell had been playing together for several years with another drummer, John Casey. Eventually, Casey was let go, and Tommy Constantino joined the band. His powerful presence behind the kit completed the band. The original band name upon the arrival of Constantino was "Methane." They went on to compete, and win several band competitions, and soon released a CD entitled "The Fall," while still named Methane. Before long, the overall depression that had engulfed rock music encouraged the trio to take on a new name, and experiment with their sound. Hence, No Big Loss was born. Although the members were the same, the band was much different, and before long, amazingly original music began pouring out of the trio. Dietzen and Constantino then moved to go to school at Illinois State University, while O'Connell stayed in Chicago. The band currently plays in several bars in the Bloomington/Normal area, and are beginning to break out into the Chicago scene. The trio recently released their first album under their new name, entitled "Smiling 4 Times." Look out for this trio.
