RIP? Jet confirm indefinite hiatus
Controversial Antipodean rockers Jet have gone the same way as At The Drive-In; calling time on their grand story for now and going on an indefinite hiatus.
Singer and axe-wielder Chris Cester relayed the news through a MySpace bulletin posted from the band’s profile today (24 Oct). He put the decision down to the gradual erosion on health and family life caused by four years of continual touring.
"We've just decided to take some well-earned time off," reeled Cester.
"After touring for, well, ever, we sat ourselves down and realised that, with all the time we have spent away from home, Jet could finally use some down time."
DiS agrees. The members will walk various other musical avenues in the bleak interim that lies between Jet album two and Jet album three; solo projects birthing, production duties taken up.

This should have been a picture
of a chimp pissing into its own mouth.
I can remember being in a virgin megastore last year
and seeing lots and lots of unsold copies of the 2nd album..
still doesn't quite make up for blood brothers split though.
FUCK YES!!!
Now, let's hope Bono wakes up today and decides to have some "me" or "Bono time" (I think that's how he would call it).
Bono says to the world: I need some "Bono time".
Someone please kill him today. I will be grateful beyond words, I will become your slave and so will my children if I ever have any.
I digress....FUCK JET.
