It’s alleged that Mystery Jets were originally called ‘The Misery Jets’ before Harrison accidentally misspelt the name on their drum kit – let’s just say we’re definitely glad they kept their new one. With an array of tracks, from feet-movers to heart-clenchers, the group put on a superb, eclectic show. And of course we can’t forget ‘After Dark’ - the positively Daft Punky collaboration with The Count & Sinden, a perfect piece of dance-pop with plenty of synthesisers and a samba beat. They plunged into the love lament ‘Serotonin’ with its recognisable guitar riff, as Harrison’s London drawl seeped through, before crashing into the high-paced ‘Hideaway’.Įmotions rose and the pace slowed for the tragically wonderful ‘Flakes’, causing a sea of swaying arms from their tightly packed crowd and some rather spine-tingling harmonies. Lead singer Blaine Harrison and the boys tore through their bass-heavy classic ‘Half in Love with Elizabeth’, as the distinctively shaggy-haired and sparkly-topped frontman inspired a high-pitched chant from his audience. From the eponymous ‘Making Dens’ through to the more contemporary, synthesised ‘Radlands’, the band have accumulated an impressive selection of dance-inducing, sing-a-long-lending songs that excel in their live performance.
New-indie veterans Mystery Jets have been delighting their fans with delicious tracks since 2004. The band’s fourth LP 2012’s “Radlands”, was recorded in a home studio by the Colorado River of Texas, and was supported by extensive international touring. With new label backing Mystery Jets issued their third studio album “Serotonin” in 2011 lead by the singles “Flash a Hungry Smile” and “Dreaming of Another World”. Following the release the band moved away from 679 Recording and signed with the established independent Rough Trade Records. “Twenty One”, produced by Erol Alkan and Nick Launay, earned widespread critically acclaim, peaking at No. The album’s second single was the seductively groovy “Two Doors Down”, which reached No. only album “Zootime”, which was almost entirely made up of songs from their debut “Making Dens”.Īhead of their sophomore album “Twenty One”, Mystery Jets released the single “Young Love” featuring indie-darling Laura Marling. Following the release the band hosted a tribute show to Syd Barrett, featuring artists Kid Harpoon, Kate Nash, and Dan Treacy among others, and embarked on their first worldwide tour. Mystery Jets’ debut studio album “Making Dens” was released in March 2006, extolled by many, aided by the singlex “You Can’t Fool Me Dennis”, “Diamonds in the Dark”, and “Alas Agnes”. Due to this exposure the group were subsequently signed by 697 Recordings, who issued the single “The Boy Who Ran Away”.

Mystery Jet’s first official single “Zoo Time” was released on up-and-coming label Transgressive Records, after which the band hosted a series of illegal parties. Produced by Bishop Dante, the group’s subsequent EP the “Eel Pie Island” was issued later in 2004, following which the band began to develop new material and tightness on a modest UK tour. Influenced by the melodies of Hall and Oates and experimentalism of Pink Floyd, Mystery Jets released their eponymous debut EP in 2004. Having practiced in Henry’s Eel Pie Island boat shed, the band began practicing steadily with Blaine assuming the role of lead singer.

Prior to the band’s debut EP Blaine misspelled Misery Jets “Mystery Jets” on his drum skin and pleased with the result the band kept it.
Following the arrival of Kai Fish on bass and Tamara Pearce-Higgins on the organ, Henry Harrison became the second guitarist and the band settled on the moniker The Misery Jets. Originally formed of 12 year old drummer Blaine Harrison, guitarist William Rees, and Blaine’s father Henry Harrison on bass, the group underwent a series of lineup alterations prior to their musical debut.
