With special guests Bloods + Wild Honey
Following the announcement that one of Australia’s most successful rock bands of all time, JET, are reforming to hit the road with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in February 2017, the band have reissued their first two albums ‘Get Born’ and ‘Shine On’ on vinyl, CD and digitally. Both the CD and digital reissues come with rare previously unreleased digitally re-mastered recordings from each period.
Of the reissues and bonus tracks, drummer, vocalist and song writer Chris Cester says:
“We’d sit around on beer crates in our early days at first the pub we played at making our first moves. Nic always used to say if the song is good you can do anything with it. This was a wild time, and a really creative period. These demo recordings and b-sides were lost for years but then re-appeared down the line somehow. I love these songs dearly, even the unfinished ones.”
In addition to the Bruce Springsteen tour, JET will also play two very special headline shows in Sydney at Taronga Zoo. With the first show selling out in record time, a second show is now on sale and selling fast.
JET quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing 10 x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album Get Born. The album produced a string of classic singles in Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ, and Look What You’ve Done and netted the band 6 x 2004 ARIA awards. Both “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.
In 2006 Jet were named APRA’s Songwriters of The Year and for three years running Are You Gonna Be My Girl was the most performed Australian song overseas.
JET’s follow up album “Shine On” followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection melodic rockers including Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Bring It On Back and Rip It Up, and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world, and an unforgettable Big Day Out run in 2007.
