Jet Update From Chris

HO HO HO...well it's not Christmas yet...but it's close enough eh? So, loyal Jet minions, what has jolly old Saint Nic got in his erm, well...it's only October, so forget Santa, and on with the news;

We've all given ourselves %100 pay cuts, which means we are all fired.

Not really, actually, we've just decided to take some well earned time off. After touring for, well, ever, for Shine On, we sat ourselves down and realised that with all the time we have spent away from home, Jet could finally use some down time. Fingers crossed, nobody dies this time, and we can all try and make pasta. Or something. What do people when they are at home? Any Ideas? Let's get pro-active about this people. We could call it "TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE" like in Shiny Mag. I suppose we should watch television. Feed the cat. I suppose I could always go and have a shower. After 4 years, maybe it's time. See...people think we don't shower. Not true. We just don't press our suits, or comb our hair. Well, Cam does...but it suits him, no...actually that was all a lie...his hair is just straight. I don't understand it and i don't expect YOU to, it's been confusing me for years now. WTF?

Nic is writing new songs. Haven't heard em yet...but can't wait. He's actually playing a fancy gig soon too, just him and an acoustic guitar someplace in ye olde Melbourne. I think he's playing Jet songs. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few covers in there too...but that's just me, and what would would I know? If you can get there...go. I doubt it will be a regular occurrence and I might even go myself? Wait a second, is he going solo? *Reaches for the phone* "Get me my lawyer" ect...

Cam is in a writing cocoon. No-one has seen him for weeks. All matter of writing actually, the boy just can't stop himself. He needs to chill out, wait...is he going solo too? WTF? Cam, Nic...what's going on here? No, he's doing some extra non Jet related writing, but that's not for me to say...it's a Muncey surprise and I'm sure you'll hear about it one day soon. I've heard some of his new Jet tunes though when we were up in Alice Springs...and they are very exciting!

Mark and I have been busy becoming producers! Well, that is to say, we have produced our first band, under the name "The Vice Lords". We produced one song together in Sydney for a Japanese band called 'Superfly'. The song is called 'I spy, I spy' and I don't know how it will be available out west, but someone will let you know as soon as we know. It features the vocal and drum stylings of myself, in a duet with their lead singer, little Japanese singer with a crackin' voice, who goes by the name of Shiho. Also features the synth and bass stylings of Mark Andrew Wilson. We ended up writing many new parts for the tune...what a trip that was...check it out if you can, it's not Jet...but it's sounding pretty mega. I've also been writing my ass off...lot's of new tunes...can't stop me suckers!

So, looking back on this page, I see that we aren't really on a break at all! Well, I guess some people don't know how to take a break. The good news is that everyone is in high spirits and that the time off has left us with big grins and pockets full of songs. Keep it cool my babies...i'll be checking in soon...

JET AUSTRALIAN TOUR KICKS OFF THIS FRIDAY

Only a few short sleeps until Jet begin their first headline Australian tour in over three years. We're excited. Very excited. It all kicks off in hometown Melbourne at the Palais on Friday the 25th of May, and what better place to begin. The band have had ten days off since finishing the US tour, and will be enjoying some of the finest hard- to -get Australian cuisine available whilst on the road, including dim sims, Big M chocolate milks and egg and bacon rolls to make up for lost time whilst abroad. 

Main support for all Jet shows is New Zealand soul & blues rockers The Checks. Still in their teens, The Checks last appeared in Australia supporting Oasis. They have just finished their debut album recorded in London and signed to Epic UK. Their first Australian release is the Take Me There ep released on the Red Label out on the 9^th June. Hear The Checks on www.myspace.com/thechecks

The shows promise to be fantastic, with the band on absolutely top form, and excited to be back home. In addition to the live dates the guys will be appearing on Rove, the Footy Show and playing a Triple M Garage Session before finishing off the tour with a big BIG show with fellow travellers Eskimo Joe and Little Birdy in Adelaide.

See you at the show friends!
