Brothers Nic (vocals) and Chris Cester (drums), Cameron Muncey (guitar) and Mark Wilson (bass) enjoyed dizzying global success with the release of their 2003 debut long-player. That album, Get Born, elevated Jet to unprecedented heights. Lead single ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ drove Apple’s infamous 2003 iPod commercial and landed at #1 on triple j’s Hottest 100, and is still one of the most pulsing and essential dancefloor hits today. Together with huge follow-up hits ‘Cold Hard Bitch’, ‘Get Me Outta Here’, ‘Look What You’ve Done’ and ‘Rollover DJ’ it pushed Get Born to sell an amazing 3.5 million+ copies worldwide in its first year alone.
