About Me

In fall, 2004, Jake Sweet approached Charlie Jones with a brainstorm: "let's Jam." Charlie agreed, but on one condition: "I get to play Bass." Her total lack of experience notwithstanding, the beginning had, well... begun. Shortly thereafter, Chris Caron began to attend practice, and then he also began to play music. Scott turned up (a much longer story, to be told at a later date), and the foundation was laid. After a failed experiment early in 2005 with a vocalist, Charlie stole the microphone back, and the current format was born. We are pleased to present, for however long this furshlugginer incarnation lasts, RUCKSACK REVOLUTION!
