Jet Johnson

The history of London-based Jet Johnson goes back before their short timeline. Caroline (Nesbø - Vox, Guitar) was once in a band called Peachfuzz who moved to London from Aalesund, Norway. Once in London, Caroline met now husband Gavin (Baker - Guitar) at a gig. He was charmed enough to grin madly at her all night until she pitied him and took him home. Originally from Frome in Somerset, Gavin plays in indie stalwarts Billy Mahonie as well as having his own solo project Meets Guitar and a transatlantic affair with Glider. Kevin Smith who drums on the recent releases, used to bash it out with Peel faves Reynolds, but is on leave in Japan. Tore (Skjulstad Bryhni- Bass, Vox) is the latest addition to the Jet Johnson sound.

Over the last three years they've effortlessly drawn comparisons to Piano Magic, Mazzy Star, Low, and Empress, released a string of well regarded singles. Their first album ‘Micropolitan’ was released in the UK during the autumn of 2003.

For the meantime, the band have made a move to Oslo, Norway and are currently writing new material and performing local shows there. Return tours to the UK are being planned, as well as select dates throughout mainland Europe.
