The Jet Age (TJA) is an American indie rock band based in the Washington, D.C. area. Their sound has been compared to Ted Leo, Dinosaur Jr., The Wedding Present, Hüsker Dü, The Clean,〔 The Feelies, and The Who.〔〔 When playing live performances The Jet Age is a three-piece consisting of guitar, bass and drums. TJA has released four full length records to date and has completed two national U.S. tours (both including in-studio performances for Seattle's KEXP) and two tours opening for The Wedding Present (the 2010 East Coast tour and closing the 2010 U.K tour). Chris Dahlen of Pitchfork gave TJA's 2008 release "What Did You Do During the War, Daddy?" an 8.0, saying, "()ll the riffs are stellar." Mark Jenkins, writing for ''The Washington Post'', described the band's 2009 offering "In ''Love''" as having "an ecstatic roar." The Jet Age released their fourth studio album, ''Domestic Disturbances,'' on 10 January 2012. The Jet Age formed in 2005 after singer/guitarist Eric Tischler's previous indie rock band, The Hurricane Lamps (1995–2004; 5 LPs and a Bus Stop Label 7", multiple national tours) folded when drummer Jason Merriman decided to attend graduate school and bassist Greg Bennett planned to move overseas. Dave Meyer, a Hurricane Lamps fan, agreed to play bass and introduced Tischler to Pete Nuwayser. Shortly before beginning to record the band's first album, ''Breathless'', Meyer moved to Colorado (his then fiancée, and now spouse, accepted a teaching position with a university there). Bennett's relocation plan had changed by that time, so Tischler quickly asked him to resume playing bass. ==Members== * Eric Tischler: guitars, vocals, keyboards * Greg Bennett: bass * Pete Nuwayser: drums, vocals (occasionally during live performances) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Jet Age」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
