At 7:45 – 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, 24 September, Ryukyu Island rock band JET is scheduled to perform at the annual end of summer festivities of Hansenfest. So come out and jam with the new members of JET while enjoying a day of food, music, and festival activites.

For those of you who like listening to the local air waves, Taki, the bassist for the Ryukyu Island rock band JET, will be on FM Koza radio station in a pre-taped interview at 7:00 p.m. tonight.

As those of you who frequent Bar JET are aware, this will be the last weekend for JET guitarist Appin. His music career has taken him on a different path. We wish him well on that new path. So if you want to jam to those great songs he is so popular and well-known for, don’t miss the chance to see him once more this weekend at Bar JET. The band begins at 9:00 p.m. and plays five sets until 1:40 a.m.
