    Default Jet

    I always liked this group. They take the meat of 60's rock and put in a package (CD). They get little airplay here, but often pass through usually playing House of Blues here in Cleveland. I haven't had the opportunity to see them, but a coworker went last time and just by chance was fortunate to have dinner with the lead singer.

    Anyway, here are some clips.

    Move On - this one is a slow acoustic and I grew attached to it when I started playing acoustic.


    This is a band best appreciated live. To me they are a mixture of so much of the early 60's the likes of The Kinks, The Who, The Stones, The Beatles,...

    They are a garage band. I know everyone has heard of them, so it's nothing new - but so little is ever said about them.

    Check out time, gotta go.

    I'll leave you with this - can you see and hear the Who and Kinks?

    I like them too. Their albums have quite a bit of depth and diverse songwriting that I never expected based on what of their radio hits that I've heard. Some of their songs are somewhat Beatle-esque. Great band. I hope they continue.

    Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.

    Here's a good example of that.

    I've seen them a few times myself (an advantage to being Australian) and they are a great live show.

    If you like their rockier stuff (as opposed to their beatles covers...oops, beatle influenced songs) then check these guys out

    The Cassanovas.

    Pure Rock'n'Roll imo. They also put on a fantastic live show.

    Yep, my buddy said they are by far the loudest band he's ever heard, great live act.

    Time to hit the sack, I'll check out the rest of your post tomorrow - must be early AM there.

    I thought I heard them say that Jet was appearing at the HOB in Cleveland, but it's actually the Black Crowes for two nights - just as cool.
