Jet are an Australian rock band, formed in 2001 in Melbourne, Victoria. Founded by brothers Nic (vocals, rhythm guitar, piano) and Chris Cester (drums, vocals) together with Cameron Muncey (lead guitar, vocals), they were joined the following year by Mark Wilson on bass guitar. The quartet released three studio albums – Get Born (2003), Shine On (2006) and Shaka Rock (2009) – before disbanding in 2012. They reformed in 2016 for a series of shows and reunion tours. They reunited for a second time in 2023, and were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in November that year.
The band is best known for the success of Get Born and its lead single, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl". Get Born peaked at number one in Australia, as well as the top 20 in the United Kingdom and top 30 in the United States. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2004, the band won in six categories: Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album, Breakthrough Artist – Album and both Single of the Year and Breakthrough Artist – Single for "Are You Gonna Be My Girl". The song reached the top 20 in Australia and UK and top 30 in the US. At the APRA Awards, it won Most Performed Australian Work Overseas for three consecutive years: 2005, 2006, and 2007.
