Jet Get Born (CD, EMI Records, 2003) ****
Genre: Aussie rock
Places I remember: The Warehouse (Cambridge)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Look What You've Done
Gear costume: Are You Gonna Be My Girl
Active compensatory factors: This is the debut album from these Aussie rockers (they would make another two albums before disbanding in 2012 - they are apparently reuniting for the 4th studio album as we speak).

It was also their most commercially successful album, thanks to those two singles highlighted above.
I first saw/heard Look What You've Done on video and loved the Beatles/ Wings/ Badfinger vibes. Then Are You Gonna Be My Girl was a big success on rock radio.
The album shows them off well - full of brash youthful strutting confidence. They sound at times like an Aussie Slade, at others like a cross between T. Rex and AC/DC (Cold Hard Bitch). Absolutely fine with that!
Where do they all belong? The CD comes with a bonus 5 song DVD of a gig in London.
