While I’m reminiscing about amps. It wouldn’t be complete without this gem. I bought this Marshall Artiste around ‘92 at Guitar Crazy in Sydney, right before I joined The Screaming Jets. It was the only amp I used on The Gorilla album… then I used it along side a Vox AC30 for the World Gone Crazy album. That’s my original ’73 Gold Top, present on virtually everything I’ve recorded since about ‘89. Jimi Hocking a.k.a. Jimi the human The Screaming Jets

Hi friends,
Just by way of an update, we are all still obviously reeling from the loss of Paully. It still feels like some crazy nightmare.
 
We are astounded but not surprised by the massive outpouring of love towards Paully we have received in the last few days. Your wishes, thoughts, memories and prayers are appreciated by all of us who loved him.
 
We are grateful for your patience as we start to figure out how we will move forward.
 
At this stage we want to let you know that after much consideration we have decided to fulfil all our upcoming touring and new album commitments, and to move forward in the way that we feel best honours our brother's life and his music.
 
A memorial is being planned for Paul in Melbourne, and we will announce those details in due course.
 
Much love, Dave, Jimi, Scott, Cam x

The Screaming Jets LIVE 1996 (?) Raw Footage #1 20/07/2023

I've been saying for years that I might post some of my archival footage from the 1990's. Recently, I started that process.
The sound and picture is pretty ordinary as it was recorded on a primitive analogue handycam. But for folks who have wanted to see the Jets in action back in that era... it will bring back some good memories.
