• Thursday, July 5, 2007 - Bowl-a-Vard's Bike Night! 6 - 10pm

"Jack is an original 80s-inspired riff-rock band that nods to The Pretenders and Pat Benatar. The female-fronted quartet oozes attitude, lyrically taking on marijuana-addled relationships, the uselessness of Paris Hilton, and more." - The Onion AV Club, November 2005

Jack began in 2004 as most good things do - accidentally over a couple beers in Madison, Wis. Lead singer, Nancy, overheard drummer Jay Fabulous ask friends at a BBQ party if they knew any good vocalists cause the one he had quit. "Would you consider a chick?" she asked Mr. Fabulous. Already on board was bassist and Barrymore Theater stage master Matt, who brings considerable experience and knowledge of music theory. A talented lead guitarist was the last piece to put in place, and he was discovered as most good things are – accidentally over a couple beers in Madison, Wis. He also attended the same Rush concert in Milwaukee as Jay Fabulous a few nights before. Other bands that influence jack include The White Stripes, The Pretenders, Velvet Revolver, The Replacements and The Kills. And the name? Besides being catchy, jack is also the name of Nancy's dog.

Give jack a listen and get off on a band that's leading the return of riff-based rock, killer guitar hooks, and memorable lyrics.
