With only a few shows under their belt
                 Nettwerk Records latest signing Jet Set
                 Satellite have had to polish their stage show
                 in front of sold-out audiences. The band did a
                 few low-key warm-up dates before supporting
                 Serial Joe, Skydiggers and
                 Stereophonics. Now they are on the road
                 with Bif Naked for two weeks.

                 "We're pretty much getting started. It's our
                 first tour. We're really looking forward to
                 hooking up with a summer festival or doing
                 some shows of our own by then," lead singer
                 Trevor Jetsetter says between sips of a
                 sweet tasting mango drink.

                 While their performance hasn't been as enthusiastically received as
                 their video "Best Way To Die," which is presently number 22 on the
                 MuchMusic charts, Trevor says, "I think we've jelled quite a bit as a unit,
                 but there is nowhere to go but up from here. We've had a really good
                 reaction from the audience. It's kind of cool opening up for a band as big
                 as the Stereophonics. We go in as a bit of the underdogs and hopefully
                 steal some of their audience." The band is recording a follow-up video
                 for the song "Baby Cool Your Jets" in the coming weeks as video and
                 radio play is the driving force behind the band.

                 Jet Set Satellite developed their sound in a studio environment instead of
                 the traditional bar stage. The duo spent more time recording their debut,
                 Blueprint, than they have rehearsing for their live show. "We played as a
                 three-piece for about three months. We played as a five-piece for about
                 a month," Trevor says.

                 Working out how to translate the songs from Blueprint into a live
                 environment was a daunting task that required Trevor and Dave
                 Jetsetter to hire more members. "When we started rehearsing we
                 weren't sure how many band members we were going to need to bring
                 the songs to the level we wanted live. We started off as a three-piece
                 and we realized that we didn't have enough sets of hands so we hired a
                 touring guitar player and bass player. It's a bit of challenge to work out
                 the record as its layered so it was a matter of picking out four guitar
                 parts and making them into one cohesive part."

                 They are undeterred in their ambition to conquer the world of live
                 performance as Trevor remarks, "We're pretty happy with this record
                 and we want to work it. We can expect to be touring this album for the
                 next year or two. Weddings, parties, anything."
