Jet Come Home For Two Shows!!

Sydney, AU. (EMI MUSIC Australia) - Melbourne four piece rock outfit Jet are delighted to announce they will return home to play two very special shows in Melbourne and Sydney come the month of August. Having spent the past six months in Los Angeles recording the follow-up to their phenomenally successful debut 'Get Born', the band are excited to be able to finally preview a swag of new songs from their forthcoming long player, as well as taking the opportunity to dust off all the old favourites.

'After half a year hunkered down over a hot tape machine, we can't wait to get on stage at home again and show people what we've come up with,' said drummer Chris Cester. 'These new songs are something else, trust us!'
'Amen!' intoned his calmer, older brother Nic.

Beginning work on the album in January 2006 with 40 songs written, the band worked through them all, perfecting, rejecting and fine tuning until the list was whittled down to 20. These songs formed the basis of the new album. Working again with Dave Sardy as producer, the band settled in to Dave's new Hillside Manor studios and got cracking. The result is a mixture of soul stompin', psychedelic, rock and roll that has been well worth the wait, and bears all the hallmarks of a classic rock album from a band growing in stature as songwriters, without forfeiting any of the energy that made their debut such a monstrous calling card.

With the new album scheduled for September 30 , these two shows in August will be a once-only opportunity to see the band in a barely contained state of excitement at being home again, blasting out a healthy serving of great new cuts before the album is released.

The shows also represent the ONLY chance to see Jet live in Australia in 2006. If you miss these shows, your chance to see the four gents from Melbourne town won't come around again this calendar year. Having last played on these fair shores in December 2004, headlining Homebake after 2 years of constant touring around the globe, it's been way too long between drinks, and these shows promise to be THE rock and roll ticket of the year.

Tickets on sale 9.00am Thursday August 3rd from all Ticketek outlets.
