Jetplane Landing

I was listening to this band at the weekend and it struck me they've been quiet for some time, unless I've missed something.

Really do seem like a top band, foolishly I never went to see them live when they were active.

This the wayyyyy I think the summer should end

I really liked that first album, it was the soundtrack to my university years.

Yeah great band

3 fantastic but completly different albums. I know Backlash Cop was divisive but it was my album of the year 2007(?).

Pretty sure they're not together anymore despite no official split up announcement.

I thought they split...

I don't anything by them, never found any of the records in shops.

They've done very occasional sets in Belfast in the last couple of years

though with Fighting With Wire's rhythm section in place of their own, so it's essentially Fighting With Wire plus Andrew Ferris.

Only seems to happen on special occasions, the ones I'm aware of being the re-opening of the Ulster Hall and one of LaFaro's three album launch shows. I missed both.

Icarus-Smicarus | 6 Dec '10, 14:16 | X | ^ This | Reply
I was told a while ago

they were working on one last album, but with FWW busy and Andrew running an increasingly busy STA out of Derry these days it's probably gone back in the priority list. Three fantastic albums (and an EP likewise), in any case.

NOW I CAN NEVER PLAY THAT WHITE MUSIC AGAIN

One of my most favourite bands ever. All three albums are solid gold. Absolutely love Backlash Cop; it was my favourite album of 2007 also.

I thought they were working on a new record actually. I did an interview with Andrew Ferris a few years back and he said he wanted to tour Backlash as it was 'made to be played live.' Hmm...guess Cahir is well busy with the very awesome Fighting With Wire.

  TheSoundofBastards @shucks | 6 Dec '10, 14:59 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - I think given your taste for the heavy rock, Once Like A Spark
    
    would be a good place to start. Give the 30 sec snippets on amazon a listen:
    
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Once-Like-Spark-Jetplane-Landing/dp/B0000BXBYH/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1291649007&sr=8-2
    
    All 3 albums are quite diverse. Their first, Zero For Conduct, was more lo-fi sounding, but still riff-tactular in places. Backlash Cop (most recent) is proper experimental - rap, funk, punk rock, all mashed together. It's a concept album about funk/jazz musicians/boxing!

Keep the love coming

Hopefully Andrew will spy this thread and organise a long overdue show in London. Been threatening to for a while but nothing has ever materialised. Think its the 10th anniversary of Zero For Conduct being released next year, so would be a good time to do it!

They could get Distophia and Reuben to reform and support, haha!

I probably wouldn't have got into JPL for years if it wasn't for 'SAUNTER'

a couple of years ago Fighting With Wire walked off stage after just one song. While everyone was wondering what the flip was going on these sirens faded in. "NO" thought i, "it COULDN'T BE" the sirens got louder and louder and what do you know jetplane landing (or rather the fww + andrew lineup smicarus mentioned) were on the stage playing 'Backlash Cop' while i roared in my unimpressed friend's ear "IT'S FUCK-ING JET-PLANE LANDIN'!!"

Was listening to Backlash Cop last night for the first time in a while

it really is a fantastic album. One of my favourite bits is the first song, where you here the sirens and other noises, random chatter, the light cymbal crashes...then they begin to tease with that guitar riff that they keep building up = so awesome.

stoked about new songs and possible tour next year.

  - awesome!
    
    I've still got my New Standard one from 2003. It's full of little holes and marks that won't shift, but I'm never getting rid of it.

I watched the Smalltown America documentary thing last night

and it made me rip all my JPL CDs so I could listen to them this morning. On the back of Zero For Conduct there's a message from Ferris to me which says "Happy Birthday Niki! 8/10/02" - which signifies the first time I saw them, my 17th birthday. Ferris bought me a pint. My friend took me as a present and afterwards we decided to set up our own Isle of Wight music fanzine / promoter thing called TINY BOMBS (<3)

Anyway, a few months later we got Jetplane to play on the Isle. Unfortunately after we'd agreed the date and venue and stuff, our school organised a trip to Berlin which clashed with the gig, so we couldn't even go and see them, at our OWN gig which WE'D organised. We were really upset. On the day of the gig we wore our "fuck you and your opposite sex" tshirts, and the teachers didn't seem to mind, cos they knew how bummed we were.

When we returned from Berlin, our parents surprised us with a VIDEO: they'd gone to the gig themselves and filmed it all for us. Apparently my mother had got in contact with Ferris and asked if she could come along and film the gig in our absence. Of course they could! I still have that video <333

tl;dr. Jetplane memories <33333

  - My friend Vicki.
    
    I remember the JPL board! I met some people off there at the Islington Academy gig I *think*.
    
    I loved our Tiny Bombs days. We interviewed Biffy Clyro before they were ANYONE! Lulz.

        Brilliant.
        
        Pretty sure I met someone off here at a random Jetplane gig in Bournemouth too. I was quite hideously drunk, and I wasn't even eighteen. Great days.

I watched the STA documentary the other day too

and it really brought back some good memories. I was really lucky and was at their first gig ever. It was a matter of right radio station, right time as three days before the gig, they played The Boy You Love to Hate and mentioned that it was a new band featuring Andrew and Jamie from Cuckoo (who I loved!), so off I went and had a blast. Andrew, the total gentleman that he is also give me a copy of the promo EP which they used to book their tour with and for radio etc. which only 50 or so were pressed up. Of course, typically I lent it to a girl that I went on a date with and then never saw her again. I still have the cover floating around somewhere though.

I noticed the other day that the JPL stuff was removed from Spotify, however I think almost all of their stuff is on the STA Soundcloud page.

Cahir has been tweeting recently

about them working on a new record at the moment. He said that they hope to have it out by the summer.

This is a good thing. Especially if it is followed by a tour. It's been way too long.

The 80's were a void

a f**king wasteland without merit.

So excited about the new album and tour

also this email: Jetplane Landing are wrapping up work on their fourth studio album - one of the band's most adventurous and dynamic outings so far. Song titles include the intriguing: 'Magnetic Sea', 'The Beat Generation Ha!', 'Broken By People' and 'Cortez & Colombus'.

Die-hard JPL fans will be delighted to know that the band are planning their first tour in six years to celebrate the release. We will be issuing lots of JPL goodies this Summer to celebrate.

YES. So much yes.
