If you’re a 100 Monkey’s fan like CBA is, this news is so awesome! The 100 Monkeys will be doing a 100 city tour, kicking off Sept 12th in Vancouver BC. At that concert 2 lucky winners will be picked from the audience for a meet & greet with the band. The band is also in negotiations to be the musical guests on SNL the week of the New Moon premiere Nov 20th. Here is the official press release:
Jackson Rathbone and his band, 100 Monkeys, hit the road
(August 28, 2009) Los Angeles New Castle Entertainment announced today that they have partnered with Jackson Rathbone and his band, 100 Monkeys, to schedule and promote a one hundred city tour that will kick off September 12th in Vancouver. Rathbone is in Vancouver filming ‘Eclipse’, the third installment of the Twilight saga.
Jackson recently completed filming M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Air Bender in Pennsylvania. While he was there, he and the band completed a two-month East Coast tour, with every show sold out. The band is made up of Rathbone’s high school confidantes, Ben Graupner and Ben Johnson, along with his friends Jerad Anderson and Lawrence Abrams.Â
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.
The band has been featured on MTV, VH1, Entertainment Tonight and in People Magazine. Their eclectic blend of soulful music has been compared to The Doors, Tom Waite and Coldplay. At the band’s first Vancouver concert in February, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and almost the entire cast of Twilight showed up. I was blown away when Entertainment Tonight interviewed us. We’re grateful to have the support of so many people, said Jerad Anderson of 100 Monkeys.
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.
