Who else love interviews?
Mark and Chris for Absoluteradio.co.uk
And I also have something especially for the Aussies. Click here and check another interview with Mark, Chris and Lily Allen. Yes, that one. If any of you could rip it it'd be great since it's only available for the Aussies (why on Earth do they do that?!). In case you get it send me to andrealmeneses@hotmail.com
I leave you tonight with "1, 2, 3 take my hand and come with me" live at V Festival 2009:

Last Monday Jet was at the Triple M's Eddies Desk to perform "Seventeen", here it is:
According to their tour schedule, they will do Adelaide on the 29th and Perth on the 31st. After that it's all mistery! I heard they're going to the US in March but I have no ideia of what's hapenning in February for Jet. Let's wait and see!
Meanwhile, I leave you with "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" live at Sydney's BDO:
Tchau.

Here I am again with some late news!
First, there's this scan @anaisabelle kindly sent me from the Herald Sun newspaper in Australia (by the way, Happy Australia Day everyone!). It features a quick interview with Nic and Cam back from the BDO Auckland.
Click here and here for the scans.
Second, back on Homebake earlier this year, the duo were interviewed by Triple M and I think I only posted the first part of the interview. But the second part is so funny that it deserves to be here. So, parts 1 and 2 for you all again!
Tomorrow (or today, depending on where you are) Jet plays at the BDO Melbourne.
Tchau.

Busy day for Jet in Sydney! As posted by Gusta, Nic was invited to play "Back in Black" during Muse's set at the BDO in Sydney. You watched the video and now I show you a couple of pics (you've got love Matt's little legs):
Source: Twitter.com/muse
When they annouced playing at the BDO I told you there would be some camaraderie between them and Kasabian. But maybe it goes far beyond than that:
"Pizzorno and his singer Tom Meighan are best mates with the Jet lads and are also keen to acquaint themselves with Perth psychedelic rockers Tame Impala after being turned on to the band by their friend, The Mighty Boosh comedian Noel Fielding. "Those Jet boys are really beautiful people, nice chaps," Pizzorno says.
The guitarist is known to call Jet drummer Chris Cester at all hours of the day and night and sing bizarre songs quoting his name down the line."

Well, right. I leave you with a couple of pics from Jet's set today at the BDO in Sydney and an acoustic performance of "Look What You've Done" a few years back that I came across on Youtube (take a little look at their trousers, how could they wear that?).

Tchau, see you tomorrow!

Scroll down and you'll see Jet's famous sing-alongs and crowd surfings at BDO 2010 and Hot BBQ.
ARE YOU GONNA BE MY GIRL - BDO 2010 AUCKLAND
SHE'S A GENIUS - HOT BBQ (bad audio quality, but very close to the stage)
ARE YOU GONNA BE MY GIRL - BDO GOLD COAST 2010
COLD HARD BITCH - BDO GOLD COAST 2010
And just a nice little mention from Eskimo Joe's myspace:
"I must say, it was nice to find out that I wasn't the only one to miss their flight. Chris from Jet waited till arriving at the airport to ask his brother Nick if he needed a passport to go to New Zealand. Bit of a Spinal Tap moment for poor old Chris."
Tchau.

Interview with Nic Cester from NZ Herald. That's all for now, tomorrow I'll be back with Jet's first gig for the Big Day Out festival in Auckland. See you!
On a more confortable flght path
With their flared jeans, cocky swagger, and catchy garage rock, Jet were one of the biggest bands in the world back in 2003. That year the Australians released debut album, Get Born, which included break-through hit Are You Gonna Be My Girl, and follow up singles Cold Hard Bitch and Rollover DJ, and sold more than 3.5 million copies.
But their success was short-lived and these days they're just another rock'n'roll band touring the world and plying their trade. Yet brothers Nic and Chris Cester, and their bandmates Cameron Muncey and Mark Wilson, are doing okay.
"It's become more fun," says frontman and older brother Nic on the phone from Orlando, Florida, where the band are about to play the House Of Blues. "We're a lot more comfortable and confident because we know the right way and the wrong way to go about things. We look after ourselves a lot better than we used to too," he laughs.
Cester especially sounds as though he's doing nicely off the royalties from those first three big hits. He divides his time between Australia and Italy and he calls his Milan home his "escape from this lifestyle and this world of debauchery".
"And my father was Italian. I'm half Scottish and half Italian which is why I've got a big nose and blue eyes I guess," he laughs again.
He says they had a hoot off the back of Get Born but also admits things got out of control.
"What happened to us with our first album was unrealistic and I don't really think we were equipped to deal with the success.
"Initially, when everything happened so quickly and we were young, and there was a little bit of fear and nerves, the way we dealt with that was drowning ourselves in alcohol and other things."
To make life worse, in August 2004 and at the height of the band's success, the Cesters' father died of cancer. They wrote the song Shine On in tribute to him and it would become the title track to their second album in 2006. However, the record was not well-received and their popularity waned.
"We survived all that and we're a much better band for it," says Cester light-heartedly. "We're stronger, more savvy and more comfortable in our own skins."
But rather than it just being a matter of the band growing older and wiser, Cester says after these tough years they decided to refocus - and the result is third album, Shaka Rock, released in September last year. "It's a new level of commitment and we realised if we were going to do this seriously we needed to change our attitude.
"The basic plot was to have fun again and take back control of our lives and careers - and we really wanted to do something musically that was more indicative of us again. By that I mean a really fun album, and an excited rock album, and add a few more twists in there that people wouldn't normally expect."

OK, I swear this is the last post today. Now I found this video footage of their last gig in Sydney on December 4th at the Metro. And the coolest thing about it is that Craig Nicholls is in it! Love his childish smile when he joins Jet to perform She's a Genius. Really, this is priceless!

Once again, Smashing Mag is providing the pics from their latest gig in Nagoya, on Jan. 8th. The next step for the band is Big Day Out 2010 wich will be a particularly fun festival 'cause their friends from Kasabian will be there and they sort of promised a big party with Jet.
Hopefully we'll have pics of that!

Hello, kids! Now that I'm back home we can talk more about Japan. For the last three days in a row (and also tonight) the band has been touring Japan. As we all know, the band seems to be quite popular over there, so naturally you assume I'd have loads of reviews and stuff. Well, I did find some but the language is a problem here. Therefore, we're checking now some pics from Tokyo (Jan. 5th) and Nagoya (Jan. 7th).
But if you attended to one of those gigs and would like to share the experience (in English, please!) I'll be more than glad to post it here. Just e-mail me to andrealmeneses@hotmail.com

Hello everyone, how's your 2010 going so far?
I just came back with a quick update. Actually it's non-confirmed news but good ones for the Canadians:
In the midst of their third trip around the world to support their new album, Shaka Rock, Australian rockers JET will be making a distinguished stop in Vancouver to perform at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. JET have been invited to perform on Wednesday, February 24 during the two-week long event at the Whistler Medals Plaza, among fourteen other top North American headlining acts such as Usher, OneRepublic, The Fray, The Roots and All American Rejects.
The band recently finished an Australian trek with Green Day, in which two of the dates became the #4 and #8 highest grossing concerts in the world according to Billboard’s Boxscore.
With more than four-million albums sold worldwide and four Top Ten Modern Rock hits, JET recently returned to form with Shaka Rock, an album that parallels their smash, Get Born which produced hits like “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch.” The new album closes the gap between the raw roots of Get Born and the grace and melody of Shine On (recorded just after the passing of Nic and Chris Cester’s father), which together went on to make JET an international band of style and substance. Shaka Rock captures the charisma and energy of classic rock and roll with just enough punk swagger and contemporary flair to create something uniquely JET.

I'm spending a few dys at a friend's place in the capital so I'll post about the latest gigs in Japan as soon as I get home!
