Jet Set Satellite is a rock band founded in 1998 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and originally having only two members, Trevor Tuminski and Dave Swiecicki. After releasing their debut album "Blueprint" in 2000 on Nettwerk Records, they celebrated two Top 20 Canadian hit singles, "Best Way to Die" and "Baby, Cool Your Jets", at rock radio and MuchMusic that year. In 2003, citing irreconcilable creative differences, the band made a rare move and left their record deal with Nettwerk in favor of pursuing their own collective vision for their second release. The band released their second album "Vegas" independently in 2005 with the title track, "Together", "Remover" and "Please Capture Me" as singles. They finished their third album, "End of an Era", in August 2008 - their heaviest album to date. Although never officially breaking up, the band members are all currently involved in their own individual projects, and no longer writing and playing together as Jet Set Satellite. Source "Wiki"

To say that every new Jet Set Satellite album comes with a certain amount of struggle would be the understatement of the century. Though the band's early success with their debut album, ..Blueprint.., was almost legendary in the Canadian music industry, bad omens, family deaths, car crashes, failed relationships, line-up changes, and other catastrophic turns of event have perpetually plagued the band ever since. It's like the rock gods have since returned for their pound of flesh..... "If this band didn't have bad luck, it wouldn't have any luck at all," quips frontman, Trevor Tuminski. "The sheer tenacity we've had to exhibit to keep this train rolling should be proof of just how haunted we are by the echoes in our head. Some people do this for success or girls or money. We're chasing an entirely different animal"..... According to Tuminski, their ominously titled, third album,.. End of an Era.., is the band's sound fully-realized. Having long struggled with the studio experience and working with outside producers, the band opted to finally take the reins themselves, with multi-instrumentalist Dave "Bulldog" Swiecicki quarterbacking the sessions that took place at two home studios the band assembled..... The result is an overwhelming, emotional, powerful record. Not one of overwrought balladry or weepy exposition, but of strength, determination and grit – their influences out on their sleeve (Black Sabbath, the Cult, Faith No More, the Police, Danzig, Queens of the Stone Age, old Metallica) but filtered through a collective that is entirely its own. Cheering each other on to raise the bar and finding comfort in their environment were the keys to capturing the band's live presence, says Tuminski..... "There's a poise in these performances and recordings that I think eluded us on the first two releases," he explains. "We made sure we had the songs that excited us and that felt like they belonged together, and then gave each other the room to really push the envelope on our instruments. Mike's (Keller, lead guitar) growth as a writer and player on ..End of an Era.. is going to blow people's minds. Having Jay (Rink, bass) join the band right after ..Vegas.. came out was a huge shot in the arm on every level too, and you can finally hear the effect of that here," he says. "And Rich's (Reid, drums) style has just thrived upon the extra space we've left for those big, meaty, rock moments we typically may have left on the cutting room floor"..... Rock moments like the crushing swagger of lead single "Ladykiller", the muscular heaviness of opener "The Beast", the anthemic gallop of "Resurrexit", the dance floor aphrodisiac of "Black.Heart.Burn", and the resonance of the band's first recorded cover, Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave"..... "We had never really planned to include a cover on any of our albums but with 'Children of the Grave', something just clicked," says Tuminski. "Ozzy Osbourne really isn't credited for the brilliant lyricist he is. In our troubled times, the words to that song just seemed the perfect fit for the themes at work on the record, not to mention the doomsday feel of the music"..... In the past year, the band have shared stages with Buckcherry, Finger Eleven, Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, State of Shock and Thornley, and continue their run of TV and film synchronizations that includes hit shows such as ..E.R., Dead Like Me.., and ..Tru Calling.., and films ..American Outlaws, Soul Survivors, Grizzly Rage.. and.. The Long Road....... "We may have been blessed early on in our musical odyssey but everything we've achieved since then has been from our own hard work and diligence, and the enthusiasm of our fans," Tuminski says. "Every day there has been a reason to quit but we just keep pushing forward because it is simply in us to do so and that will never go away.".... "If none of the wounds we've endured to this point have killed us, nothing will"..... .. Jet Set Satellite Source "Myspace"

Ever wanted to wear stars for eyes, break the silence with secrets that decay or flatline into the big fade? In the world of Jet Set Satellite, anything is possible.
"Music for us is the ideal form of escapism," says Trevor Tuminski (vocals/guitar). "We're not here to educate you or to convey a particular message, we're here to take you away to somewhere you might not ordinarily go."
A casual writing arrangement between two musicians - Tuminski and Dave Swiecicki (keyboards/guitar) - led to an unexpected but rewarding partnership whose impressive emotional impact and accomplished collaborative performance is evident in every song on Blueprint, their pulsating debut album on Nettwerk Records.

The explosive and infectious first single, "Best Way To Die" remixed by Nick DiDia (Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, Korn), was an out-of-the-box hit at Canadian radio more than three months before the album's release. Like a series of Polaroid snapshots taken throughout a surreal night and projected into your memory, 'Best Way To Die' serves as a dynamic introduction to the ten songs which comprise Blueprint. Rocking out with ambient urgency, haunting piano arrangements and tasty guitar diversions, each track takes on a mind of its own as Jet Set Satellite survey the soundscape with an illustrious array of guest musicians: folk singer Martha Wainwright (daughter of Canadian folk icon Kate McGarrigle and sister to songwriter Rufus Wainwright) contributes vocals to "Suddenly", Delerium collaborator Rhys Fulber supplies ethereal programming on "The Night It Went Too Far" and John Webster (Aerosmith, The Cult contributer) produces four tracks including "The Goodbye Letter", "Baby, Cool Your Jets", and the dazzling anthem "Blueprint."

"At the heart of this band are two rock songwriters," Trevor insists. "Yet I think we explore the boundaries of rock a little more than some of our contemporaries. Acoustic, electric, organic, electronic, whatever sounds good to us...on any level, we're always looking for the hook that's hopefully going to bring you back and wanting more."
Jet Set Satellite is eager to expand the duo to a full touring band and perform the songs live. "We're really excited about going on the road and doing alternate versions of the songs," enthuses Dave. "The live show is going to be something to be reckoned with."
