There’s no rush to fix the seam in Jets
July 1, 2007 – Sydney Morning Herald
Screaming Jets co-founder and songwriter Grant Walmsley says it’s too soon to tell whether he and singer Dave Gleeson will ever perform together again.
Their split marks the end of one of the longest-running and most successful partnerships in Australian pub rock history.
Walmsley has not talked with his former best mate since last October in Melbourne when the rock band finished recording its sixth album, which is yet to find a distributor.
“At this point I don’t know if we will play again together,” Walmsley, 38, said.
“I’ve had such a deep friendship with Gleeso since 1981 that I hope our future discussions will lead to a resolution we can all be comfortable with. I am optimistic.”
Lawyers are now involved as the Screaming Jets continue to play gigs without Walmsley, despite the guitarist still appearing in the line-up on the band’s website. Gleeson, also 38, echoed Walmsley’s views on the split and would not give a specific reason why the relationship had broken down.
“Since we finished the album in Melbourne it’s been a parting of the ways and a realisation that after 17 years some relationships just don’t work out,” said Gleeson, who joined musical forces with Walmsley as high school students in Newcastle.
“But the band will continue on. Scotty Kingman, who engineered the album, is playing in the band now. We will get someone to release the album and there’ll be someone who realises we still have a hell of a lot to offer.
“Maybe it will work out one day but at the moment we are in different directions and have different commitments.”
The band, minus Walmsley, has just returned from the Solomon Islands where they played for Australian Defence Force personnel stationed in Honiara. “It was totally wild,” said Gleeson, who now lives in Adelaide and recently appeared on the celebrity TV talent quest It Takes Two. “We were flying around in choppers and it was like something straight out of Apocalypse Now.”
Walmsley, who wrote the top-five hit Better, says he is unsure of the issues surrounding the breakdown between himself, Gleeson and other band members. Walmsley’s new group, the Agents Of Peace, plans to release its first album in October.
