On the first day of the long-awaited Module 4 of the UK Covid Inquiry, it became clear that the Inquiry was going to do everything it could to bury evidence that does […]

With a touch of AC/DC, a dose of the Ramones and a shot of classic Stones, Jet is closest to The Pretenders. But they are far more than the collective sum of their influences.Guitarist/vocalist Nic Cester and his younger brother, drummer Chris, ceaselessly listened to their parent’s Rock records. Reacting negatively to early ’90s Grunge, Nic decided to go in another direction. His plan was bare-bones Rock ‘n’ Roll – raw, basic and primal. With guitarist Cameron Muncey and bassist Mark Wilson, the Melbourne, Australia group hit the club circuit. Their debut single “Take It Or Leave It” led Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards to champion the band. From there Jet released their U.S. debut “Get Born” with the pulsating lead-off single “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” followed by “Cold Hard Bitch.” “Get Born” soared up the charts and Jet became huge. Tours, magazine covers and all the other trappings of fame followed. In September, ’06, Jet released their sophomore effort, “Shine On.” The first single was “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.” But there was more. “‘Stand Up‘ is the biggest Rock song in the world — like ‘Cold Hard Bitch’ times five,” said Nic. Nice promo effort there. But things got off to a rocky start when Jet had to cancel the first of two dates on their North American tour because Nic was suffering from acute laryngitis. Philadelphia and Toronto shows got canceled but a couple nights later Jet performed on NBC’s Tonight Show With Jay Leno. “We’ve got to stop writing; we got f***ing too many songs,” joked Chris Cester about the “Shaka Rock” sessions. Recorded at Atlantic Sound Studios in New York, the album came out in August, ’09. Prior to “Shaka Rock’s” release, Jet, having already launched a supporting tour, had a scary moment. Nic collapsed during a London concert and was rushed to a nearby hospital. The band’s website said the singer was “suffering from dehydration and severe low blood pressure.” But just two days later, Cester was back on stage with the band performing an acoustic set (in London again). “Nic is resilient and doesn’t like to cancel a show,” said Wilson. But despite the inherent work ethic, the band dissolved in ‘12, but reformed in ‘16 for a run of shows and then split again at the end of ‘19. The post Jet appeared first on RockinTown.

from Revolver News: In a recent X post, Elon Musk said something very positive—but a tad cryptic—about President Trump. Naturally, it sent liberals into a full-blown meltdown and went mega viral, because let’s be honest, most of America agrees with him. Here’s the simple, straight-to-the-point post that had everyone buzzing: TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ I […]

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee has an unconventional but entirely constitutional idea for how our country can take on the Mexican drug cartels. The lawmaker noted last month on social media that Congress has the authority to issue “letters of marque and reprisal,” essentially turning American citizens into privateers to...

Forget the players on the field: The two most famous people at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday were President Donald Trump and pop icon Taylor Swift. One got booed, the other roundly cheered. And if you thought you knew which got which response, you apparently haven't been...

President Donald Trump gets called "divisive" by the mainstream media on practically a daily basis. If the first poll numbers of his new administration are anything to go by, however, he'll take "divisive" any day of the week. A new CBS/YouGov poll found that 53 percent of Americans approve of...

President Donald Trump hilariously dunked on a Huffington Post reporter by saying he didn't realize the leftist outlet was still in business. The comical incident unfolded Sunday aboard Air Force One as Trump was en route to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. During a mid-flight media scrum, anti-Trump reporter...

Other than the stinker put up by the Kansas City Chiefs offense on Sunday, the worst performance of the Super Bowl might have come from the NFL itself. In a two-minute ad (in a game where the cost of just 30 seconds started at $7 million, according to USA Today), ...

The whole vibe of Sunday's Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans was very patriotic, pro-family, and frankly, pro-MAGA, complete with President Donald Trump being in attendance. One place it could be seen was in the ads that ran during the contest that saw the Philadelphia Eagles prevail over the Kansas...

They still don’t agree over the contents of their make-or-break 1997 album – except on one thing they did wrong
