More North American dates ahead for Aussie rockers Jet

With their debut album now certified platinum for selling more than a million copies in the U.S, Australian garage-rock quartet Jet has lined up a new round of North American tour dates for July.

The outing features a mix of headlining club dates--most of which feature Sloan and The Anyones in the opening slots--and festival appearances.

Jet's debut, "Get Born," hit U.S. stores last November, and has spawned the rock-radio hits "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Cold Hard Bitch." Though "Get Born" hasn't climbed beyond No. 26 on The Billboard 200 album chart, it has been on the chart for 31 weeks, and currently resides at No. 33.

The video for "Cold Hard Bitch," directed by the video collective Tomorrow's Brightest Minds (Death Cab for Cutie, The Distillers), is getting airplay at MTV, MTV2, VH1 and Fuse.

Melbourne-based Jet--which has been on the road for a year and a half, including a North American stint supporting The Vines--is currently on its first-ever national tour of its native Australia.

A European outing will follow, which will include appearances at England's Isle of Wight, Germany's Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring, Madrid's Festimad, Portugal's Rock In Rio-Lisbon, and the Netherlands' Pinkpop.
