Bio

Something Strange
originated in the suburbs of Chicago in 1998. At that time, the band consisted of three brothers, Keith Jakresky on vocals, Gary Jakresky on guitar, Bryan Jakresky on bass, and a close friend, Paul Sobczak on drums. They all shared the same love for making music. Something Strange wrote and performed all of their own material. People would say their music style is in the vein of Cheap Trick, Enuff Z’nuff, Holland and Off Broadway just to name a few. They performed with bands like Quiet Riot and Enuff Z’Nuff as well as many great local bands throughout the Chicagoland area. In late 2004, they added another guitarist to the line up, Curt Myers. His style made their sound more full and gave it a slightly heavier edge. That line up played around the Chicago land area for about two years. In 2006 guitarist and brother, Gary Jakresky, announced he would be moving to Indianapolis. Something Strange was left again with only one guitar player. After Gary’s departure, the band was searching desperately for another guitar player but to no avail. The guys then got together and decided to change their approach. While still looking for a guitar player, they started learning and adding more cover songs to their set. Once they found the guitar player they were looking for, they would have the songs down and they would be ready to take it to the clubs. In the beginning of 2007, they found the man for the job. A great guitar player by the name of Jason Mallow. He is the guitar player that they needed. Now the band is complete so keep your eye's out because they are coming to a club near you!

Stay tuned!!!
