ABOUT
Nic Cester, frontman of one of Australia’s most successful rock outfits of all time, JET, has proudly released his debut solo album ‘Sugar Rush’ to critical acclaim. Performing live with his all - Italian band, ‘The Milano Elettrica', the show retains classic Jet melodicism, but takes a distinct left turn towards soul, glam and blues. The eclectic 6 piece, which includes two drummers, debuted for the very first time at Australia's Bluesfest festival, where they were one of the highlights.
This was followed by sold-out sideshows in Melbourne, Sydney, London’s iconic 100 Club, and a sold-out tour of Europe.
For the past few years Nic has lived between Italy and Germany, where he wrote and recorded the songs for “Sugar Rush”. The album was produced by Jim Abbiss and received four stars from Rolling Stones magazine and great reviews all over the world. During the last two years Nic supported artists like Muse, Liam Gallagher, Kasabian, Paul Weller, Gary Clark Jr. and headlined festivals with Alt-J and White Lies.
In 2021 Nic released ´The Skipping Girl’ project combining a children’s book and an accompanying album, both of which were inspired by his childhood in Melbourne. Now based in Italy, Nic is also a member of the all-star rock ‘n’ roll collectiveThe Jaded Hearts Club alongside Matt Bellamy,Graham Coxon, Miles Kane, Jamie Davis and Sean Payne.
In 2022 Nic released the new single ‘Did IJust Fall In Love’. The track represents his first solo release of 2022 and was co-written with his friend Nick Hodgson of Kaiser Chiefs. A new solo album will be released in June 2023.
JET conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing 10x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album 'GetBorn'. The album produced a string of classic singles in 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl', 'Rollover DJ', and 'Look What You've Done' and netted the band 6x 2004 ARIA awards. Both 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' and 'Cold Hard Bitch' peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.
