Jet

Biography

Jet is an Australian band from Melbourne whose participants united their efforts in the second half of the nineties while the Jet title was taken up only in 2002. The lineup of this ensemble includes two brothers, Nic and Chris Cester, alongside Mark Wilson and Cameron Munsey. According to the recollections of the musicians, in the beginning, they did not believe they could go this far. At that time, Australia spawned a new generation of rock music lovers who were poorly familiarized with big and old bands of this genre, giving their attention to the heroes of the new age. The music, originally based on raw guitar sound and plain passages, was gradually absorbing the touches of other trends making the rock-n-roll definition hardly acceptable to it. The Jet musicians were deeply fond of classic acts of the seventies and eighties, particularly, The Who, and AC/DC, which made them reluctant to play what the contemporary fashion implied. An approach like this one promised them, at best, performances in their hometown; and getting globally famous they could only dream of.
