Indie outfit Mystery Jets have confirmed they will be embarking on a UK tour in Spring with the London band announcing a string of shows for March and April.
Forming in the early 1990’s, when the group’s frontman Blaine Harrison was only 12, The Mystery Jets were initially called The Misery Jets, having been named in honour of the Heathrow-bound airplanes that roared over their native turf Eel Pie Island in Twickenham.
Essentially a family project, The Mystery Jets are made up of Blaine Harrison, who initially started out on drums, Blaine’s dad Henry Harrison on bass, who eventually switched to guitar and Blaine’s friend William Rees also on guitar. Kai Fish joined the gang as the group’s new bassist and a drum machine as well as a local kid name Max was trialled on drums before Kapil Trevedi got the job behind the kit.
Changing their name after Blaine misspelled “misery”, The Mystery Jets were born (again) and their first full studio album ‘Making Dens’ followed in 2006. To date the band have released four studio albums, with their latest, 'Serotonin' arriving in July 2010.
In November last year Mystery Jets announced that their new album 'Radlands' will be released on 30th April 2012, coinciding with their new UK tour.
