This Rock quartet was formed in the second half of the '90s in Melbourne,
AUSTRALIA, but took the name Jet in 2002. The band consist of guitarist+vocalist
Nic Cester, his younger brother Chris on drums+vocals, Cameron Muncey
on guitar+vocals and bass player Mark Wilson.
Their music is largely influenced by the heavy-Rock of AC/DC
and American Classic-Rock; in 2002 the band released a 4-track EP titled
"Dirty Sweet" on Rubber Records, a series of live performances
followed, delivering a high butane set when the need arose; Jet was picked
up by Elektra Records and soon after they scored a support slot on the
Australian leg of The Rolling Stones
world tour.
The band's debut full-length CD, "Get Born", finally appeared
in November 2003, the set debuted at #1 on the Australian Albums chart,
hit the top 20 in U.K. and reached #26 on The Billboard Top 200 chart
spawning an endless string of successful singles: "Are You Gonna
Be My Girl" hit #3 on The Modern Rock chart, peaked at #16 in Britain
and reached #29 on The Billboard Hot 100; "Cold Hard Bitch"
topped both Modern and Mainstream Rock lists, "Rollover D.J."
made top 20 in the same charts, "Look What You've Done" rose
to #7 on The Modern Rock chart and crossed over to the top 40 Sales charts
in the States, Australia, U.K. and even Canada.
Jet returned in October 2006 with its sophomore album, "Shine On";
their new CD includes the single "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth
Is".
