Mystery Jets

來自英國的Mystery Jets，組團之始由Henry Harrison(父親擔任貝斯手)、Blaine Harrison(兒子擔任鼓手，然而在Blaine出生時，患有先天性疾病，造成下半身沒知覺。三歲開始，Blaine動了五次大手術，盡管如此，卻始終存有樂觀生活態度)，以及William Rees(吉他手)三人結合而成，數年把玩音樂歲月，Henry換為吉他手，陸續招募Kai Fish入替貝斯手一職與鍵盤手Tamara兩位新任團員，Blaine則先頂替主唱工作。 著手開始錄制EP同時，團員也出現小幅調動，Tamara離開樂團，Blaine從鼓手調任鍵盤手，找來好友Will頂入鼓手，但是這家伙卻沒太多實力可以玩樂團，時常要以電子鼓取代實鼓打擊，最后從網絡征招下，邀來Kapil Trivedi 成為Mystery Jets固定鼓手班底。2005年接連發行EP及單曲強力攻勢下，創下三首進入英國金榜Top50之林中紀錄。 The Syd Barrett-worshiping indie outfit Mystery Jets formed in the early '90s when the group's shock-headed frontman, Blaine Harrison, was only 12. The band was initially called the Misery Jets, in honor of the Heathrow-bound jets that habitually roared over their native Eel Pie Island, but they changed their name when Blaine (who, again, was very young at the time) misspelled "misery." The Mystery Jets were essentially a family project, with Blaine on drums, Blaine's dad, Henry Harrison, on bass, and Blaine's friend William Rees on guitar. Henry eventually switched from bass to guitar, Kai Fish joined up as the group's bassist, and Blaine switched from drums to keyboards. The group tried out a drum machine and a local kid named Max before finally latching onto drummer Kapil Trevedi. The Five Tracks EP, recorded soon after Trevedi joined the group, was released on 679 Records in 2005, and their first full-length album, Making Dens, was released the following year. Zoo Time, a collection of Making Dens tracks plus remixes and songs from 2006 EPs such as You Can't Fool Me Dennis and Diamonds in the Dark, was released by Dim Mak in spring 2007. 更多>>
