The Commandant

Jake Skolnick started The Plastic Revolution in 2005 as a musical project to get him through college at San Diego State University. He serves as the front man, songwriter, manager, and producer for the band. When he’s not playing, he records bands, and is a talent-buyer for major venues in San Diego, CA. His label, Mannequin Vanity Records currently produces some of the hottest, most talented musicians coming out of southern California.

Jake is in a weird Drop Kick Murphys-esque, kick stomp, gypsy rock, Gogol Bordello-covering, BandapArt-aspiring, amaze-balls folk band with Regina Brown, and features ADLR, a chick tambourinist, and Wes Carmichael on drums; QUEL BORDEL!.

Jake loves Jack Daniels and Jeff Daniels, and has a penchant for institutionalized women. Recently Jake quit smoking cigarettes. He has replaced his habit with electronic cigarettes. He’s smoking the equivalent of two-packs per day.
