Jakarta

About Me

Hello everyone. Jakarta was an idea fronted by four great friends with one idea. Life moves at a very intense rate at times and some ideas get lost in the mix of it all.
That being said, Jakarta is no longer a band. We are sad to see it go but we all still love one another and look forward to future adventures together. We still really love the music too so we are leaving this up so that we can continue to share our love with others. So we hope you enjoy what we did together. Thanks to every single last one of you.
And, we are happy to say that Brent and Nate are once again playing together in the Seattle based opera quartet called Coho. Feel awesome and check them out on myspace at www.myspace.com/cohomusic
