“Passion is blowing of the stage, there is really something happening here!” (Chris Dekker from 3voor12)
The Electric Jets from Heerhugowaard, are four guys with an average age of 18 years, with passion for Rock 'n' Roll. They started making music three years ago. In this short amount of time these guys have accomplished to build up an great on-stage reputation. In the regional scene they are known by the name of Shock 'n' Roll, and their live appearance is as energetic as that name does expect.
The sound that The Electric Jets produces is Garagerock’n’roll, brought with passion from the heart. The roots of this band go back to the good old years when bands like Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and The Who ruled the planet. Also bands like AC/DC, The Datsuns, The Mooney Suzuki, The Von Bondies, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Mando Diao and many more are a huge inspiration source for The Electric Jets.
By the end of November of 2007 the first demo (recorded by Maarten Tamminga) of The Electric Jets has ended up. With that demo they’ve drawn the attention of several media like VPRO’s Villa Live, and 3VOOR12 who has published very positive reviews of their earlier songs like ‘Whatever Happened to my Rock ‘n’ Roll’, and ‘Little John’ and TEJ’s live shows. Now they've recorded their debut-EP "Electric, Baby!" at Legacy Studio, Zwaagdijk. It was released on the 12th of June, just like the musicvideo that goes with it. The release party was a great succes. And so thought 3FM, who declared The Electric Jets to be 3FM Serious Talent.
Keep up with TEJ’s gig-list so you'll know were to be when the Jets land, because you’ve got to see this is a band you've got to see live!
