JET live in Townsville and Mackay

Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 9:20 AM by Charlie

Moving on with the tour, the band played Townsville and Mackay last week before taking a 4 day break until Rockhampton.
When they play small cities it gets a bit complicated to find something about their gigs but the funniest things come up.

Like, all I could find on Townsville were two videos: the ever favorite "Seventeen" and Nic tossing a bra back to the crowd.

Now, from Mackay I couldn't really find anything until @followthefinger enlighted us! If you can't watch the gig properly, you can at least listen to the band play "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" from the ice cream van and wonder "who would want to have ice cream when Jet is playing right in front of them?".
Go figure!

We'll be back soon with some weird video from the next gig in Rockhampton. Don't forget to check the video gallery!

    Cute interview Fee, thanks :D And of course, I totally agree with what you're saying about Jet being the main event. They always are! Powderfinger is so lucky to have them as a support act. They are the best band in the world to get the crowd pumping for the headlining band's set. By the way, Andie, I was looking through Jetthefuckingband.com and i came across a fantastic interview with Nic backstage, from a while ago, you know the one where everyone's hanging out backstage drinking and partying? it's really good! here's the link anyway so others can watch it: http://www.jetthefuckingband.com/2009/09/tour-update.html I'm going to go and watch Right Right Right! now, even though I watched it not so long ago, but I have just had this sudden urge to watch it again :) liv

    Yeah Powderfinger has been around for quite a long time, and the guys from Jet did mention their music being a part of them growing up. I have never really been a fan of their music, I thought they were okay I guess, but yeah Jet has a really short set with them- 30 minutes, isn't it?

    Powderfinger is a big band in Australia, they've been around for like 20 years or something and it makes sense that Jet opens for them there, they probably listened to them during their teenage years.

    What, Jet are support band? I didn't even know of thisPowderfinger band, so thought it was some joint headline tour thing. Oh well.

    Hahaha if i was working in the ice cream van while Jet was on i would want to start headbanging..but that would just look weird i guess LOL...and why would any Powderfinger fans complain about Jet being the support act? How very rude of them. I was going to go to a show just to see Jet as the support act actually , but I wasn't able to :(
