Splash Stories hosts Ben Steadman and Diamond Dave caught up with Jet singer songwriter & guitarist Nic Cester during a little touring downtime for him in Italy.

Jet have been touring their Get Born 20th anniversary tour and issued a re- release vinyl release of the album and a new single – “Hurry Hurry,” with a b-side titled “Un’avventura as a little appetizer while they continue to work on an upcoming album.

Nic shared some interesting insights into what it's like to ride the wave of a global smash hit like Are You Gonna Be My Girl, how the song flipped from its original viewpoint and his rewriting the lyrics in about 5 minutes... mused on being in a band with your brother ... the Dandy Warhol's Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia & the Dave Sardy influence...Billy Preston...The Beatles...Songwriting...Canadian 'witch-metalers' Flown and him offering to literally buy the shirt I had designed off my back in a Melbourne restaurant...

Splash Stories chats with John Douglas celebrating the 20-year anniversary of milestone Trashcan Sinatras album Weightlifting & previewing his debut North American Tour kicking off October 1 2024 showcasing original material and new recordings of fave Trashcan Sinatras' material.

Joined for West coast and Midwest dates by Lily Vakili of Vakili Band & for East Coast dates by award-winning singer-songwriter Lauren Calve & two special shows with fellow Trashcan Sinatras Frank Reader and Paul Livingston in Seattle, with Reader also joining Douglas in LA.

"'Weightlifting' was a milestone record in our journey. It took us a long time to make that record due to various hilarious sidetracks, including adventures in Japan with us as a six-piece band, and many many strung out, aimless days and nights in our adopted home of Kilmarnock, Scotland, a mad detour attempting to record in Hartford, USA (skillfully avoiding the nightly gunshots), and even a meeting with the landed gentry in Ayr County Court, where our banishment from the land of honest toil was finally ended," John Douglas.

"We returned from all those adventures with songs - songs of love, loss, redemption, forgiveness, bravado, friendship, wisdom, peace and tranquility. Songs that we swore ourselves to... and here we are 20 years on and it looks like we somehow built them to last. Somehow, from the chaotic depths, we found ourselves at the top of our game. It’s a miracle of a record."
