Jet keert terug uit pensioen

De Australische rockers van Jet gaven er vijf jaar geleden de brui aan. Desondanks zal Are You Gonna Be My Girl? ongetwijfeld ook bij u nog een belletje doen rinkelen. Nu zijn ze terug.

Zanger-gitarist Nic Cester werkte namelijk samen met het Italiaanse elektro-house-gezelschap the Bloody Beetroots. Dat resulteerde in de twee songs, die je hieronder kan beluisteren.

The Bloody Beetroots-leider Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo legt uit hoe de tracks tot stand kwamen: “I knew this song needed a certain rock tone… a tone like Nic Cester of Jet had. We thought instead of someone ‘like Nic Cester,’ how about we get the real Nic Cester! Thinking he would be in Australia, it was fate that he lived just a couple hours away from me in Italy. I found him. We worked together, ate together, drank together and created something very powerful together. Around this time the Jet guys stared talking and thinking about getting back together, when Nic shared this with his bandmates, the idea came up to have ALL of Jet involved. Because of our different influences, we had different ideas on the mixing and from that we came up with two versions. It’s the best of both our worlds!”
