Jet to play free downtown concert
Fans of Australian rock quartet Jet, take note: tomorrow is your lucky day.
The classic rock-influenced, hook-loving leather jacket aficionados will be swinging through town Friday to play a free show at the corner of Fourth and Colorado streets in downtown’s Warehouse District. The band broke big with 2003’s Elektra debut “Get Born” and is currently touring in support of this year’s “Shaka Rock.”
C3 Presents will be masterminding the show, perhaps allowing them a chance to curry some Austin love in the wake of Zilkergate. If nothing else, they’re unlikely to have any problems with mud in the parking lot across the street from Truluck’s. The performance is one in a nationwide series of pop-up concerts to support the launch of Bud Light Golden Wheat, currently rocking a somewhat respectable C+ on definitive online beer resource Beer Advocate.
Admission to the concert is free, with beer sales benefiting the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, so drink up. The show is 21-and-over only. Gates open at 6 p.m.
