The Jets (Illinois band)

The Jets was a band from Pekin, Illinois, consisting of Mike Isenberg, Graham Walker, Greg Clemons, Greg Wilson, and Randy Kohtz. They were together from 1972 to 1980, and a small amount of their recordings are still available on Twin/Tone Records. After a few months together Greg Clemons and Randy Kohtz left the band and were replaced by bassist Thomas Walker who was with the band until early 1974. Gregg Clemons returned on bass. During this version of the band The Jets released the single "Be For Me" backed by "I Play For You". The record charted at No. 13 but the band crash-landed shortly after its release. The band reformed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1976 with the past lineup of Mike Isenberg, Graham Walker, Thomas Walker, and Greg Wilson. This lineup went on to record on the Twin/Tone label, releasing the single "Lover Boy" backed with "Paper Girl". Both songs also appeared on the Twin Tone album Big Hits of the Midwest Volume III. The band broke up in early 1980.

The Jets (Minnesota band)

The Jets are an American family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.

The group officially formed in 1985 and the original lineup fizzled out by 1990. Several family members remained throughout the 1990s and unofficially revived the group in the mid-to-late 1990s as a gospel outfit including most of the original members.

Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.

Background

The original band consisted of the eight oldest children of Maikolo "Mike" and Vaké Wolfgramm, who were originally from the South Pacific island kingdom of Tonga. The family has 17 children, 15 by birth and two, Eddie and Eugene, by adoption. They are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).

Go-Back

The Go-Backs are a tribe of elves in the comic series Elfquest. They named themselves from their goal to return to the Palace of the High Ones. They are hunters (probably gatherers, too) and, above all, warriors. Most of them care neither for the past nor for the future. They are the only known tribe that scorns magic - especially healing magic, since knowing that a healer is around makes warriors 'soft'. Their most notable tradition is dancing for their death.

In the series Kahvi it is revealed that the Go-Backs were originally a splinter group of the Wolfriders, who had lost their wolf blood "because of Willowgreen's trickery." What exactly that looked like, or how exactly the Go-Backs became stag-riders and searchers for the palace, are yet untold stories. (A prose story about the healer Willowgreen and her "trickery" was to appear in the book "Hunter's Dawn" in the mid-1990s, but that volume was repeatedly delayed, then canceled.)

When the Go-Backs tried to return to the Palace, they were stopped by the Ice Trolls, who assumed that once the elves were reinstalled in the Palace they would enslave the trolls as their ancestors had. War ensued between the two groups and was underway when the Go-Backs rescued the Wolfriders and forged an alliance with them.

Go Back

Go Back is the first live album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs, and the only one that has not been linked to MTV. It was recorded at the 1988 Montreux Jazz Festival. The band was introduced as: "Titãs, the best Brazilian rock band, welcome to Montreaux, Titãs!" by the presenter of the festival, as can be heard on the very beginning of the first track.

Personnel

Go Back (song)

"Go Back" is a single by Titãs, released in 1984. After not reaching success, Titãs released in 1988 a live and a remix versions as singles, both extracted from the album Go Back (ao vivo). These achieved moderate success.

A music video, based in an edited version of the 1988 remix, was recorded and exhibited massively in television. It shows the eight members of the band in daily situations, and children in a park. It counts 3:45 and was directed by Jodele Larcher and Branco Mello.

In 1997, it was released in the album Acústico MTV in Spanish, featuring Fito Páez.

In 2010, Titãs rerecorded the song once more, with production by Rick Bonadio, counting 4'00". This version was released in the soundtrack CD 1 to the Rede Globo's telenovela Ti Ti Ti (2010).
