After Captain Jack single Frankie shoot another video for "Drill Instructor".Frankie came with the idea to make of a dance track based on a drill routine and "Drill Instructor" was born. That idea became his style: songs about peace and love in the style of a military regime.

Franky Gee part. 3

In spite of attire they sing about love and peace, with sound of army drill commands and a nice dance beat. Captain Jack is far from being a militarist group. They explained that they were soldiers of a dancefloor and their weapon was groove. They only joked about the real army. "When soldiers are doing drill, they move rhythmically and are very energetic. If you would place them in the dancefloor and start play the music, they would do quite good" they explain. In their opinion, "soldiers are good ravers but they do not know about it". Beside that, Liza simply liked uniforms.
With the group were three cute dancers :Yvonne, Sandra and Sabine. At the very beginning Franky was not performing on stage neither on first single "Captain Jack". One of his friend Durban was performing, lipsyncing over Franky's raps. In December of 1995 Durban left, and Franky decided to start performing. Thanks to Karine Sanche

Franky Gee part. 2

Franky meet Captain Jack producers in the nearly 90's when Udo Niebergall and Richard Witte were looking for 2 voices a male and female to make a new dance project. Farnky was the one who came with idea to make a song about army and Captain Jack was born.
Liza da Costa explains : "The song provided us with the bandname, really!!. Captain was to be a project, but it became successful. Nobody really expected that."
The concept of Captain Jack was quite original : Franky Gee (the rapper) and Liza Da Costa (the first female vocalist) are performing in army uniform. The idea of the hat Franky wears comes from a mix of the caps of the Russian and American armies. The design was inspired of the US-Marines, the color came from the Red Army.
