Roughly twenty-five years ago, in a country, far, far away – Australia in fact – in the oddly named outer Melbourne suburb on Dingley, two angelic looking brothers came into the world. One would assemble the family's pots and pans in the backyard and deliver savage sonic bombardments along with the Beatles 'Mean Mr. Mustard'. The other would caterwaul along to vintage soul and R&B like a boy possessed. As it transpired, it was not only Nic and Chris Cester making a racket within the quiet confines of the kind of suburbs that spawned AC/DC and The Easybeats. A two hour drive up the highway, a dashing young Geelong resident by the name of Mark Wilson, destined for a career teaching history, suddenly gave it all up, Indiana Jones-style, for the explorative lure of the four-string electric bass. Meanwhile, a quiet, proto-Ron Wood called Cam Muncey was causing waves by parading down the local streets in an array of silk scarves like an Antipodean dandy, spending every spare minute practicing guitar. As years passes these four other-worldly individuals – drawn by the lure of fast times – came to meet via Melbourne's late night drinking circuit. Escape from the humdrum world and the pursuit of speed, elegance and power through music was their obsessions. They would call themselves Jet, in honour of the storming Paul McCartney tune of the same name.
