JET AND JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! OFFERING SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET THE BAND ON TOUR
Ticket Packages For Jimmy Kimmel Live!/JET Fans Available Online Now
Last night, for the very first time, Jimmy Kimmel Live! began offering fans the chance to meet JET in conjunction with the musical guests’ performance on the show. Fans who purchase their tickets through a link at www.YouTube.com/JimmyKimmelLive <http://www.YouTube.com/JimmyKimmelLive> can experience a special meet & greet with the band at their local show. Tenth Street Entertainment and Jimmy Kimmel Live! are combining efforts to create a new way of offering additional fan interaction and engagement by providing multiple opportunities for direct connection with the band. JET performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, Wednesday, March 3. To view the performance, please visit www.YouTube.com/JimmyKimmelLive <http://www.YouTube.com/JimmyKimmelLive> .
JET recently performed at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver at the Whistler Medals Plaza. Following their performances at the Olympics and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the band kicked off the launch of the 2KSports Major League Baseball 2K10 video game with SPIN Magazine at a special show in San Francisco before embarking on a North American headlining tour on March 5 in Toronto.
With more than four-million albums sold worldwide and four Top Ten Modern Rock hits, JET recently returned to form with Shaka Rock, an album that parallels their smash, Get Born which produced hits like “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch.” The new album closes the gap between the raw roots of Get Born and the grace and melody of Shine On (recorded just after the passing of Nic and Chris Cester’s father), which together went on to make JET an international band of style and substance. Shaka Rock captures the charisma and energy of classic rock and roll with just enough punk swagger and contemporary flair to create something uniquely JET.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jill Leiderman serve as executive producers of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Jason Schrift and Douglas DeLuca serve as co-executive producers. “Jimmy Kimmel Live” is shot live in front of a studio audience and produced by Jackhole Industries in association with ABC Studios.
