"We felt so much pressure going in to make Jet Age because of the success of Sumo and the departure of our founding member, guitarist Chris Tennent. We needed to prove to ourselves that we could stand on our own two feet without him. As he was my writing partner I was terrified the magic pathway to creativity would be broken, but it was not broken at all, it was actually strengthened by fresh collaborations with new guitarist Tim Henwood."

SARAH MCLEOD

"Back at the end of the ’90s, I was both excited and honoured to be asked to fill the guitar position in The Superjesus after Chris left the band.Playing guitar live in such an established and powerful rock outfit with Sarah, Paul, and Stu was a huge rush — but it was during the songwriting and preparation for Jet Age that I realised Sarah and I had a special connection as songwriters. Our very first co-writing session together became the album’s first single, “Gravity.” I’m incredibly proud of Jet Age and grateful for the opportunity to have been part of The Superjesus story."

"Gravity,  to me at least, stood for everything we felt at the time, the hardships, the cold floors, the hope, the disappointment , but most of all, the accomplishment and joy we all felt when we finished recording the JET AGE album."

“Playing for this tour feels like plugging straight into history-these songs still hit hard, and bringing Jet Age back to life night after night is going to be an absolute blast. We have the chanceB to honour a record that shaped so much of what the band is, while feeling how alive these songs still are after 25 years. See you on the road!”

BEN TODD

“I actually grew up with Jet Age without even realising I’d one day be playing it. I used to listen to it on drives with my dad in his ute when I was in high school, so these songs are wired into my brain in a properly nostalgic way. Obviously everyone knows Gravity — that song’s a classic — but what’s been really exciting for me is digging into the rest of the album and playing some of my other favourites like Over To You and Everything Turns. I feel like I’m discovering the album all over again, and I’m excited to be involved in bringing it to life in a new way 25 years later.”

The After.

“We have played many tours with The Art as they are good friends of TSJ and recently did a tour of New Zealand with The After and loved them so decided to bring them to Australia to play with us on this tour . Both bands are a must see!”
