Jack&Sally salah satu Band Indie Bandung terbentuk pada tanggal 26 Juni 2005 di Bandung. Jack&Sally dibentuk oleh Cecep (gitaris) dan Adit (gitaris) yang merupakan teman satu SMA, lalu mereka mengajak Gill (vokalis), teman SMP Adit, untuk bergabung. Tidak lama, bergabung pula Danoe (basis), yang merupakan teman kuliah Cecep. Lalu, mereka mengajak juga Shery (drumer), yang adalah saudara Gill. Pada Juli 2006, Danoe terpaksa meninggalkan band karena kesibukannya, lalu posisi basis digantikan oleh Ipey yang tak lain adalah tetangga Shery.
Nama Jack&Sally diambil dari nama tokoh film animasi. Nama ini juga dianggap dapat mewakili formasi Jack&Sally yang merupakan gabungan cowok dan cewek. Musik Jack&Sally beraliran funk-rock progresif, yang di dalamnya terdapat banyak sentuhan distorsi tapi diiringi dengan beat yang funky dan groovy. Musik Jack&Sally juga banyak dipengaruhi oleh Incubus, Extreme, Ugly Kid Joe, dan band-band serupa. Selain mengetahui terbentuknya Band Indie ini, kami pun mewawancarai mereka seputar kedekatan mereka di Jack&Sally.

Jack & Sally was created on June 26,2005 here in Bandung. The person who became the main successor behind it were Cecep (Guitarist) and Adit (Guitarist). They’re a good-friend each other since high school; then Adit asked his junior high school friend Gill to join the team as a vocalist. Not long after that Danoe, Cecep’s classmate in university joined as the bassist. Then the story just going until they asked Gill’s brother Shery to become the drummer. On July 2006 Danoe leave the team because he’s so busy with his outside business, then his position taken by Shery’s neighbor Ipey.
Jack&Sally taken from an animation story. This name also represent Jack&Sally team formation which consist of male and female. Jack&Sally carried progressive funk-rock music as their prominent background with some distortion-mixed-feature but played with a funky yet groovy music beat. Band such Incubus, Extreme, Ugly Kid Joe became their inspirational source for their music. You already know little bit about this Independent Band establishment, and now we have a short interview about their friendship as Jack&Sally.
Do you guys have a favorite weekend-hangout place here in Bandung?
We usually spent our free time at Shery’s or Ipey’s house for briefing, practicing and writing a new song. We also like to go to Ciwalk Mall, Paris van Java Mall or just make city tour for refreshing. Also we like to go to free internet hot spot area like in Dago, eat, watching movies or go to music concert; basically we spoil ourselves with a new things.
What you guys usually talk about during hangouts?
Gossiping! Not other people, but us, Jack&Sally’s personnel. We talked about the band, music and many other things. We like make fun to each of us…haha… Sometimes we write a new song too. Where you guys think a nice place to hangout other than in Shery’s or Ipey’s place. Anyplace are okay for us, but the most important is the drink, the cozy place. But actually most of our time spent at Shery’s or Ipey’s house…haha…or sometimes we find a good eating spot…and Shery treat us all…haha…we sometimes went to PVJ Mall, and you know what, Adit spent most of his time in the toilet…haha…joking…
What activity you guys do during the Ramadan?
We keep ourselves clean, inside and outside; cleaning up our studio, spending time until breaking of fast together; but usually after the eating we are gossiping people, sleep, online chat or internet browsing…haha… We’re doing normal practice during Ramadan, but in different portion and time.
What Jack&Sally’s future planning?
We try do our best to get the higher success, plenty of money, and make our band become the number one band in the country, become a legend! haha… But our wish is become the successful band in the future!
Success and Good Luck for Jack&Sally then!!
