The Phantom Jets - play the Phantom Jet Set

Lookout! Flying atcha in their patented
Rev-O-Phonic sound, it’s the Phantom Jets! This phearsome phoursome has
been serving up searing-hot, flame-broiled slabs of prime-cut
garage-punk grunt all around Northern California for nearly two years
now! But who are they you ask? Hailing from Sacramento, California's
own 'River City', this capitol group is one capital group! These Golden
State go-getters have but a single goal: to get toes tappin’ and mitts
clappin’ to their fuzzed-out, reverb-drenched tunes. And you'll know
the Phantom Jet sound when you hear it: take
minor-key 60’s garage punk, mix with a healthy dose of hip-shakin’
teen-beat, and serve with a steaming side order of brat-punk attitude! You want more? You got it! Add a dash of spy-tinged sleekness, a dollop of spooky combo organ vibe,
cook in a fiery cauldron of pure rock n’ roll fury and there you have
it: the primitive garage-beat stew from whence the Phantom Jets
emerged! These wyld kids will rock your socks and blow your tops!
In
the last year alone they have released two successful self-produced
EP's and a rockin', boppin' 7” single featuring mixes of three ground
pounding PJ stompers, all in futuristic MONAURAL sound! But the list of
accomplishments doesn't stop there. Not only did they headline the
inaugural Sacramento Horror Film Festival in 2007, they also became the
first band to play California’s legendary Thunderhill Raceway...and
believe us, the sound of race engines PALED next to the rockin' power
of the Phantom Jets!
But
don't just take it from your friendly neighborhood record label,
Sacramento’s infamous 'Unknown Critic' described the Phantom Jets as "...crazy rockin’ classic 60's garage pop with a side of surf punk. Dick Dale meets The Sonics,
not a bad combination. These guys are fun, exciting, energetic and
talented. So hold on tight because they will indeed deliver the goods.
Do yourself a huge favor if you haven't done so already: check out The
Phantom Jets!” We couldn't agree more!
The
Phantom Jets! They're togged to the bricks and lookin’ fer kicks as
they continue to spread their brand of wyld rock'n'roll around the
Golden State.

No. 4 – Frank ‘The Belgian Brute’ Temmerman on the drums! Someone call
the fuzz, there’s a beating going on behind those tubs!
