It’s been fifteen years since the now famous hooks and riffs of JET’s debut album ‘Get Born’ were unleashed on the world, and in celebration the band will tour Australia in May and June on the Get Re-Born tour.
Melbourne based outfit Jet – drummer Chris Cester, frontman Nic Cester, guitarist Cameron Muncey and bassist Mark Wilson – formed in 2001 and self-released their first EP, the vinyl only ‘Dirty Sweet‘ in 2002. ‘Get Born’ was released after their label deal with Elektra and was followed by the albums ‘Shine On’ in 2006 and ‘Shaka Rock’ in 2009. After riding a wide of international success, Jet disbanded in 2012 before re-forming in early 2017.
The band will kick off their tour in Newcastle on May 29 before heading to Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide before finishing off in their hometown Melbourne on June 11.
Jet said, “We’re really excited to play Get Born in full for the first time ever. The idea of playing this album and celebrating 15 years since began our journey is something that’s very special to us, and we can’t wait to get out there and see old friends again, and meet plenty of new ones as well.”
