Sydney, Australia – Monday, 15 August, 2011: The JD Set is back for a birthday party like no other with Art vs Science and friends as Jack Daniel turns 161! We marked Mr. Jack’s last birthday with a who’s who of Australian rock and a Rolling Stones classic, and in 2011 we’re taking the same spirit of collaboration to a whole new level for a pair of inspired gigs. Melbourne and Sydney will be serenading our man Jack as part of the inaugural Jacktember festivities – we don’t know the exact date of his birth, so are claiming the entire month of September as an excuse to celebrate in his name!

Since that last birthday bonanza, which saw the likes of Washington, You Am I and Jet‟s Nic Cester sharing the stage, The JD Set has also played host to The Living End and Gyroscope in one unforgettable event on WA‟s Rottnest Island, and kicked off 2011 with an amazing show from international heavyweights MGMT in Byron Bay.

This year, for the birthday instalment and beyond, you‟ll be seeing (and hearing) some amazing current talent paying homage to classic artists by reinterpreting their music via a series of inspired collaboration projects. From photo shoots to rehearsals and the final live shows The JD Set will be continuing to bring people together through great music – in this case artists and consumers alike for some truly unique performances. Join The JD Set at Facebook.com/JackDanielsAustralia for all the latest news and behind-the-scenes access as the collaborations unfold, plus some extra birthday „sur-prizes‟ courtesy of Jack throughout September, including tickets to The JD Set gigs.

So, who‟s first up for The JD Set reinterpretation treatment? None other than iconic, internationally renowned Aussie band – ICEHOUSE.

Tickets for The JD Set are just $30 + BF, extremely limited and go on sale at 9.00am on Monday, 15 August from www.moshtix.com.au
