In 1996, Chris and Nic Cester formed JET with Nic's school mate, Cameron Muncey on guitar and vocals, Mark Wilson joined at a later time, on bass guitar. The band used a variety of names before settling on JET in 2002 – after the 1973 song, "Jet", by former Beatle Paul McCartney and his band, Wings. Chris played the drums primarily, sang, and wrote songs.
After finishing secondary school, the band began playing pub gigs around Melbourne where Chris and the band worked out songs they were writing, and played rock covers. These songs would go on to be the tracks that turned into JET's 2002 extended play, Dirty Sweet. Jet released the studio albums between 2003 and 2009 before disbanding in March 2012.
By mid-2011 Cester had formed his own electro-rock band, DamnDogs, in Los Angeles with a cousin, Mitch McIvor on guitar; JET's Mark Wilson on bass guitar; and that group's touring keyboardist, Louis Macklin. DamnDogs released a debut five-track EP, Strange Behaviour, on 9 August 2011. DamnDogs played several shows around Los Angeles and in Australia before changing the lineup and turning into a new band iteration.
In 2016, Cester formed Mystic Knights of Amnesia with JET bandmate Louis Macklin to write more experimental rock music. The band was named by friend and former Oasis guitarist and songwriter, Noel Gallagher. The band is based out of Los Angeles and the lineup consists of guitarist and singer Emmanuel Castro, guitarist Aaron Eisenberg, bassist John Pancost and Louis Macklin on keys.
Cester was the lead singer of rock supergroup The Jaded Hearts Club from 2018 - 2019. The lineup at the time consisted of Matt Bellamy of Muse, Graham Coxon of Blur, Sean Payne of The Zutons, Ilan Rubin of Nine Inch Nails and Jamie Davis. Cester sang lead vocals alongside Miles Kane for a year of shows, including South By South West in Austin, Texas and the Teenage Cancer Trust show in the Royal Albert Hall. Nic Cester sang with the band at a secret show in Los Angeles in 2018, and took Chris' place in the band after Chris sustained a back injury from an accident in 2019.
