Jackson Rathbone’s New Look at the 100 Monkeys Show

Jackson Rathbone was sporting a 1950’s pompadour and a mustache at the 100 Monkeys’ show at Neptoon Records this past weekend.

According to RadarOnline:

One thing that really stands out about the Twilight cast is that they’re always supporting each other, especially if their castmate is in a band. Jackson Rathbone’s 100 Monkeys has been playing in Vancouver, and Saturday night his on-screen love Ashley Greene and new addition to the series Xavier Samuel rocked out at the show.”

Check out the rest of the article here. What do you think of Jackson’s look? We thought it was a bit of The Stray Cats meet Bob Stencil.

100 Monkeys Take Vancouver By Storm

100 Monkeys had a great show up in Vancouver this weekend by all accounts.

Vancity Allie described the show as, “I thought they did a nice job with the stage setup and the lighting. Shadows, vibrant coloured lighting, and tall dark angular shapes danced across a back screen as the band played to hundreds of photo flashes going off every minute for the duration of the show.”

She shot video of one the the standard part of the group’s act which is to make up a song on the spot using a word suggested by the audience. The word that night was acorn.

Mandy was also at the concert and described it as, “100 Monkeys are amazing performers and rumour is they will have another show in Vancouver announced VERY soon :)”

She also met the band at a signing event the following day that has an amusing story and video to go with it.

Mandy also was able to meet Stephenie Meyer, who was at the concert. You can see her encounter here.

100 Monkeys Tonight At the Rickshaw

Tickets are still available for the 100 Monkeys show at the Rickshaw. For those of you who can’t make it, Mandy will be live tweeting during the show and taking photos. Mandy is a Twilight fan, but more importantly she’s a 100 Monkeys fan, converted after their show last year, so her Tweets will include show details, not just what Rob is wearing, if Rob shows. No video is allowed at this particular show, so tide yourself over with this video from their Allentown show from this summer.

Jackson Rathbone In The Vancouver Sun

Jackson Rathbone talked to the Vancouver Sun about his Twilight fame and future plans with the band 100 Monkeys:

“Rathbone remembers auditioning several times for the role, originally reading for the Edward Cullen part, before director Catherine Hardwicke offered him Jasper.

“I auditioned two or three months before filming started. And I just walked to the audition because the studio was close to my house, so I’d walk there with my guitar and I played it in the waiting room.”

With Jasper, and the worldwide frenzy that is Twilight mania, has come fame, but also a loss of anonymity for Rathbone.”

100 Monkeys Announces Major US Tour

According to today’s press release New Castle Entertainment is formally partnering with 100 Monkeys, the band Jackson Rathbone is a part of,  for a major US Tour.  New Castle is no fly-by-night company, this is big time.  They have upcoming films with Jodi Foster and Eric Roberts. In fact 100 Monkeys band member Ben Graupner is in the upcoming New Castle project Intent co-starring Eric Roberts and Seth Peterson.

100 Monkeys absolutely caught the eye of New Castle because of the multi-talented members,  “The thing that makes the band so unique is that each member can play every instrument. In between songs, one of them yells ‘switcharoo’ and they all switch instruments. It’s amazing to see musicians that can play six or seven different instruments without missing a beat. There’s never a dull moment when they’re on stage,” said Tim Crockett of New Castle Entertainment.

According to New Castle,  the band is in talks with Saturday Night Live to be the musical guests the week of November 20th when New Moon hits theaters. They will also have a CD signing at Barnes & Noble in New York City the same week. Their concert on September 12th will be at The Rickshaw Theatre at 8pm. It’s a historic Chinese theatre that was built in the 50’s and was recently updated and re-opened as a music venue. 100 Monkeys will be picking two lucky winners from the audience for a meet & greet with the band. Tickets are only $20 and it’s an all ages show. For more information, visit 100MonkeysMusic.com.
