What happens when Vixen guitarist Britt Lightning and SiriusXM host Tommy London start writing songs together? The Jetsetters.
Their debut single, “Above the Noise,” introduces the new band, but it is only the beginning of the story. In a conversation with Metal Walt, Britt and Tommy talk about how an idea grew into a band—and where they want to take it.
New Music and the Sunset Strip
The video for “Above the Noise” sends viewers back to the ’80s. Britt and Tommy hint at a different direction for their next video, along with more music on the way.
They are also preparing to make their live debut at the Viper Room. What does the Sunset Strip rock scene look like in 2026, and where do The Jetsetters fit into it? Tommy and Britt give Walt their take.
A Few Unexpected Turns
Walt opens with a story about spotting Britt and Tommy on a Manhattan street, which leads to a conversation about Bon Jovi. Britt then shares the unlikely experience of playing metal with William Shatner and talks about what is ahead for Vixen.
Tommy also gets into his work at SiriusXM. Are younger fans still discovering rock through radio? And how did “Above the Noise” find its way onto SiriusXM? Hear his side of both stories in the interview.
