There was something broken in the group and how we interacted. It was a bit of a rug pull, but I&#8217;d just turned 30 and had a baby on the way so it couldn&#8217;t have come at a better time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We got together a couple of years later and recorded a bunch of demos, but someone would blow up, then we&#8217;d get together again when things cooled down.

Life can feel a little bit flat without shows. There&#8217;s these big adrenaline spikes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The band regrouped again in 2023 to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album Get Born, coinciding with their induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame \u2013 and they haven&#8217;t slowed down since.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_125087\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-125087\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125087\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/05\/ThebandJet.PhotoMich_75202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/05\/ThebandJet.PhotoMich_75202.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/05\/ThebandJet.PhotoMich_75202-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/05\/ThebandJet.PhotoMich_75202-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/05\/ThebandJet.PhotoMich_75202-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/05\/ThebandJet.PhotoMich_75202-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-125087\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jet are set to perform at The Beach Hotel in Byron Bay.

That&#8217;s all we could do. We got to live our dream, go to the States and record an album with a producer we admired.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That producer, Los Angeles-based Dave Sardy, helped shape the raw, high-energy sound that has helped them sell more than six million albums worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were pretty cocky and confident in what we wanted,&#8221; Muncey said. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t want it to be too polished.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the band still thrives on the &#8220;shock and awe&#8221; of performing in front of huge crowds, such as a recent festival performance in Chile in front of 100,000 people, Muncey says there&#8217;s equal value in smaller, more intimate settings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone can see your face and you have these quiet moments with the crowd,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s all worthwhile as a performer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jet is at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachhotel.com.au\/\">Beach Hotel in Byron Bay<\/a> as part of The Rumblin&#8217; Regional Revue Tour on Thursday 7 May.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and tickets, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/livenation.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">livenation.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THEY shot to stardom in the early 2000s with hits like Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Cold Hard Bitch, riding a wave of success that carried them for more than a decade.
