In “Love” Jukebox Memoir in “Love” Jukebox Memoir (release date: 2/25/14) After recording 2012’s Domestic Disturbances, I realized I’d been struggling on the last couple of records to assimilate some of our many influences into what could be described as “The Jet Age sound.” Thus the concept for this album: To “own” the music that inspired us, without worrying about appearances. Of course, we didn’t want to sound like a wedding band, so if a song didn’t make sense to a player, if it didn’t resonate, it wasn’t gonna happen. A few songs didn’t make the cut (notably my ABBA homage—seriously), but once we’d gotten those missteps out of the way, these tracks quickly fell into place: 1. I Can’t Turn Around – Deliberately written as a state-of-the-art Jet Age song, this track brings our memoir up- to-date. I’d initially attributed the extended outro to our stint opening for The Wedding Present during 2011’s Bizarro tour, but I realized we’d been doing stuff like this since our debut, 2005’s Breathless. 2. Come Lie Down – A dream come true for me as Swervedriver’s Adam Franklin and Ride’s Mark Gardener join me on vocals. When I first started making music, Ride really showed me how guys who sing like girls could rock like The Who, while Swervedriver gave me guitar heroics to aspire to. I also cribbed from Spiritualized’s take on the Troggs’ “Anyway That You Want Me” and The Wedding Present’s “Dalliance,” which is ironic, since the latter inspired me to pare back some of my shoegazing tendencies. 3. I Could Spend the Whole Day in Bed – An ode to the British Invasion; varispeed vocals on the chorus nod to The Small Faces, the rhythm is a nod to one of my least favorite Beatles songs, and the lyrics nod to both. 4. Horizon Burns – The ‘90s. The lyrics came first, and are very reminiscent of the songs I wrote for my now- wife when the hurricane lamps were active. The riff started as a nod to my beloved Verlaines and their “Lying in State.” The tip of the hat to Yo La Tengo’s “Big Day Coming” was pared back to the tremolo sweep on the “solo.” Drummer Pete found the 18th Dye-inspired rhythm in the song and clamped down. Hard. 5. Free Ride – The Who. Believe it or not, it was MONTHS before I realized a “free ride” is a “Bargain.” I knew Pete could do Moon (see: our live show), but was blown away by how effortlessly Greg channeled Entwistle. 6. Chocolate Cake – Growing up in DC (the Chocolate City) in the ‘80s, Go-Go was EVERYWHERE. Now it’s here (although the harmonies on the chorus are swiped from En Vogue). 7. Dissolve to the Bedroom – This song invokes the boogie rock that was in heavy rotation on classic rock radio when I was in high school: Ronson-era Bowie, Taylor-era Stones and Zeppelin. I may not be Paul Rodgers, but check my Keef harmonies in the right speaker. 8. If I Could Say What I Mean – I’m really not a huge Stones fan, but their C&W-tinged hits loomed large in my youth, as did Rod Stewart’s. As an adult, I fell in love with The Faces’ take on similar material. 9. Booty – Funk was very much the soundtrack when we were kids, thus this homage to Sly & The Family Stone, Mandrill, Funkadelic, and the Isleys. 10. You Want To Dance – I wondered if this one would fly, as the New Romantics’ strict rhythms didn’t necessarily scream “Pete Fucking Nuwayser!” to me. Pete nailed it immediately, deciding to pay homage to Chic’s Tony Thompson on the verses (Chic being a huge influence on Duran Duran) and Duran Duran’s Roger Taylor on the choruses. 11. Music – Stevie Wonder. Growing up, it seemed like my dad played Songs in the Key of Life every weekend. That said, I found the nexus of Stevie and The Jet Age in this homage to his fantastic late-‘60s stuff. The ad- libbed outro is a hodge podge of adapted Stevie lyrics. One of the first tracks we tackled, I wondered if this would work for the band, but Pete and Greg killed it on the first take, which pretty much validated the project. 12. Like a Bell – Man, do I love early ‘70s Van Morrison (think St. Dominic’s Preview). And Ronnie Lane. And American Music Club (from whom I stole the vocals melodies). The lyrics were inspired by a friend of mine who was in a notable alt-country band; so far, he hasn’t commented, but hopefully you will. Thanks! -Eric www.sonicboomerangrecords.com ↑ www.thejetage.net [email protected] ↑ [email protected] 301-655-4792 ↑ 11200 Markwood Dr., Silver Spring, MD 20902 Praise for Domestic Disturbances “This Washington DC based trio’s fourth full length album is well worth consideration if you like the idea of mid- nineties Dischord punk rock crossed with The Wedding Present … an excellent workout from start to finish.” – Pocket Jury “[S]harp, rhythm-centric post-punk that employs an abundance of clipped, clangy chords, heavy-goes-it snare drums, and occasional plumes of static, executed as only a lean, hungry skeleton crew can. Disturbances is one of those rare records that's as lovingly rough hewn as it is painstakingly tight.– Willfully Obscure “The city’s best power trio, The Jet Age, have just put out Domestic Disturbances … Much of it is upbeat, with billowing rhythms and scorching guitar.” – Side One, Track One Praise for in “Love” “From dynamic opener "I'm Starting to Wonder," with its Velvets-meet-Husker Du vibe through the irresistible armada of Townshendesque riffage (and cowbell!) of "I Couldn't Tell You" to the jangles-and- tremolo-strafed high-velocity shoegaze of "Lead Me Where You Dare" (the title's a nod to another one of Tischler's faves, Swervedriver), these ten tunes power their way into your cranium even as they sink their serrated melodic hooks deep. With this release the Jet Age have decisively come into their own as purveyors of some of the brainiest, brawniest pop around.” Fred Mills, Blurt 8/10 “Tischler takes the Jet Age's familiar Who-influenced power trio down a dark road, exploring the crippling, fickle, indefinable nature of love. It's a tribute to Tischler's unblinking fearlessness …” Portland Mercury “Album three is the charm for this D.C. manic-power trio. It’s as lyrically ambitious as 2008’s What Did You Do During the War … Like his lyrical heroes, Pete Townshend and Wedding Present’s David Gedge, Tischler is unfailingly honest about the double edges involved in flouting societal mores. This he sets to the band’s notable Dinosaur Jr. / Ride / Swervedriver / Who grungy-shoegaze / punk-mod-soul-powerpop maelstrom, punctuated by monster drummer Pete Nuwayser’s flying fills … One could sure have an affair with this blasting, catchy, thoughtful record.” Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover 65 Praise for What Did You Do During the War, Daddy? "[A] heart-pounding rocker … all of the riffs are stellar." Pitchfork (8.0) "[T]he Jet Age have crafted a concept album that would make Pete Townshend smash his guitar in a jealous rage. What Did You Do During the War, Daddy? is a scathing polemic on the current state of affairs in American politics, but more importantly, it's punky power-pop, loaded with energy, aggression, tons of melody, and not an ounce of fat." The Portland Mercury (pick for the week) "[T]he Jet Age manages to mix the hyper jangle of the Wedding Present with the cruise-control melodies of Swervedriver and the heaven-scraping majesty of the Who circa 1970. There's a clear, pure voice and vision in the midst of that mess of hero worship." The Onion (Austin), recommended “The Jet Age are an incredible power trio who play with the same kind of revolutionary angst that made bands like The Replacements and The Wipers so powerful in their day." The Run-Off Groove "Compelling in its convictions and streamlined in its storytelling, What Did You Do is just the sort of album Ted Leo ought to be making." Pitchfork (Forkcast) Praise for Breathless “As consistent as the Lamps were across their five albums, the Jet Age's Breathless marks a huge step forward, from Tischler's songwriting to the musicians' performances to the production and overall ambience. Lamps devotees, don't worry; Tischler is still unleashing bright shards of his trademark riffery and serving up literate epistles in his Roger Daltrey-meets-Robert Smith voice. … with this debut, [the] band has clearly hit an early high." MAGNET 73 “Good songs played by a straightforward rock trio will always find their way into people's playlists, regardless of what's big at the moment. The Jet Age provides exactly that on Breathless.” Pitchfork (7.3). .

  • ​Gaven Der Bliver Ved Med at Give! the Wedding Present Er Tilbage
    2019-02-05 10:00 CET Gaven der bliver ved med at give! The Wedding Present er tilbage VEGA og Livenation præsenterer Gaven der bliver ved med at give! The Wedding Present er tilbage I anledning af 30års jubilæet for The Wedding Presents episke rockalbum, Bizzaro, kommer den energiske indierock kvartet til Lille VEGA den 11. september. Det britiske band The Wedding Present startede tilbage i 1985 deres potente indierock-eksperimenter i Leeds. Kvartetten har siden haft 18 hitsingler på UK Top 40, samarbejdet med stjerneproduceren Steve Albini og turneret overalt i Europa og USA. Bandet spiller tempofyldt indierock, hvor legende guitarfigurer ledsages af smukke, lyriske linjer om hævn, begær og kærlighed. Forsanger og frontmand David Lewis Gedge er kendt for at levere en energisk og indlevende performance, hvor lyrikken bliver videreformidlet halvskrigende i et melankolsk rockunivers med undertoner af punk. Kvartetten er inspireret af bands som The Fall, Buzzcocks og Gang of Four. Den legendariske BBC-radiovært John Peel var en af de første til at opdage bandet, og deres magiske livesession fra BBC studiet udkom på ep i 1986. Radioværten har rost bandet til skyerne og har bl.a. udtalt: “The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the Rock n Roll Era. You may dispute this, but I´m right and you´re wrong!.” The Wedding Present udgav i 1989 opfølgeren til debutalbummet i form af det skarpskårede, 3-akkordsstrukurede album Bizarro. Hittet ”Kennedy” røg direkte ind i UK Top 40, og genindspilningen af nummeret ”Brassneck” sammen med Steve Albini røg senere hen også ind på den eftertragtede hitliste.
