History

Formation And Business

Formed in 2004 in Mahwah, New Jersey, while all the band members were well under 21, Jet Lag Gemini has members from three different countries; Misha Zilman (formerly Safonov) is from Russia,^[1] Dan DiLiberto from the United States, and brothers Matei and Vlad Gheorghiu are from Romania.^[1] Their band name is not named after the Nintendo 64 video game Jet Force Gemini, as stated in a live internet chat on January 21, 2008. The band played their first show together on March 27, 2004.^[2] So far, JLG has performed with bands including The Matches, The All-American Rejects, Bayside, All Time Low, and festivals like Warped Tour with bands like Against Me, Angels and Airwaves, Billy Talent, and NOFX to name a few.^[3] Jet Lag Gemini was signed with Doghouse Records in April 2006, and debuted with an EP, Business in early June 2006. The album spawned one single, Geared For Action.

Fire the Cannons

They have since formed a street team, known as "The Gemini Brigade",^[1] played in the Warped Tour,^[3] and have finished recording a full-length album, Fire the Cannons, and planned it to be released on October 9, 2007.^[2] However, after joining forces with ILG for a radio campaign, the album release date was pushed back and was released on January 22, 2008. The album has spawned two singles, the first being Run This City and the second being Fit To Be Tied. The band went on to tour extensively behind the release, including shows with Hit The Lights, I Am The Avalanche, The All-American Rejects, Bowling For Soup, and Warped Tour

Second studio album

The band is currently working on their second studio album. On February 21, 2009, while recording their second studio album, the recording studio caught fire. No one was hurt. Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) stated in an MTV interview that after Blink 182 finishes their summer reunion tour, he is planning on working with the band on their second album. He did not state whether he was producing the record or just a song. During the process of making the album, Jet Lag Gemini left their label, Doghouse Records.
