Welcome, Mat!

About Me

Christmas 2004: the Jacets were born.

Then the Jacets played a lot of shows. July 2006 the Jacets recorded a 5 song EP at Minx Studios with Mat Halliday. The Jacets played some more shows. The Jacets did a college radio campaign with Tinderbox that proved to be successful.

In March of 2008 the Jacets added Mat Halliday as their drummer. The Jacets are currently re-doing their original EP with the addition of a new track; it will be out in June.

Future: the Jacets record a full-length record in Summer '08.
