About

Sarge was formed in Champaign, Illinois by singer-songwriter, Elizabeth Elmore and bassist, Rachel Switzky.[2] They later recruited a drummer, Chad Romanski.[2] A second guitarist, Pat Cramer, volunteered to work for the band later.[3] The band's first gig was at the Blind Pig in January of 1996.[3]

The band was considered "punk rock" and called "thoroughly solid" by CMJ New Music Monthly.[4] In 1999, the Chicago Tribune called the band a "well-honed pop group."[5] The band broke up in 1999 when Elmore returned to law school.[6][7]

gollark: You could have a single `f: &dyn Fn(u64, u64) -> Option<u64>`.
gollark: `f:&dyn Fn(u64,u64)->u64, cond:&dyn Fn(u64, u64)->bool` - this is not very idiomatic, consider using `Option`.
gollark: Rust lets you `move` stuff, I don't think it allows much specificity.
gollark: You can copy it from stackoverflow fine?
gollark: `&dyn Fn(u64,u64)->u64` is, if I remember right, a type-erased trait object thingy.
