Breaking Dawn's' Jackson Rathbone Talks Music

Jackson talked to The Hollywood Reporter here is what he said!

Thanks to our friends at Twilightish for the Tip!

Jackson Rathbone is a busy man.

Between a young record label, a worldwide tour, and a slew of acting and producing projects on the horizon, it’s a wonder he has any time to think. Still, the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn actor took time out to chat with The Hollywood Reporter about 100 Monkeys, Happy Jack Music and American Idol alum Paul McDonald, who will join the family -- so-to-speak -- when he weds Rathbone’s on-screen sister, Nikki Reed.

The Hollywood Reporter: How is the tour going so far

Jackson Rathbone: It's going great, it's exciting to get a chance to travel the country. The cool thing about touring is you get to see the fans face to face. You play with the audience as opposed to just playing to them.

THR: What made you want to start your own label, Happy Jack Music?

JR: Well I've been an avid music lover since I was about 13 years old. I picked up a guitar and started my own mobile DJ'ing business. I'd DJ weddings and quinceneras. Then, I actually moved out to Los Angeles when I was 18 just for the summer to be a songwriter. A friend of mine had a record deal and that fell apart, he really got screwed over. But I got lucky and got hooked up with this amazing manager for acting, since I was also an actor. My acting career started taking off and I stayed in LA. I've always seen a lot of my good friends, just musicians, that's all they've done with their lives. They get screwed over by big and small record labels that promised fame and end up just dropping them off. I had it figured out, since I had some stuff going for me right now, I could hopefully use a lot of that momentum and help some of the bands. We've got some amazing bands actually, I've got this group called The Bleeding Horse Express and I produced their first album,Going South.

THR: When I spoke with you on the carpet at the MTV Movie awards and Nikki had just announced her engagement, you mentioned that you'd love to team up with Paul in the studio to jam together. Has there been any talk of that?

JR: Actually, you know what, Paul McDonald has come on stage with 100 Monkeys, and we played a show at the El Rey theater about a month ago or so. It was in promotion of our upcoming tour that we're now on and I didn't know about the whole engagement thing. I was like ‘Hey Paul we want to do 2 one hour sets and take a small break in between and we're looking for an acoustic act to fill in.’ Paul has a great vibe on stage and has a great voice. I love watching him perform as well as millions of people across America, who kept him running for a long time. Above and beyond that he's just a great guy. I'm very protective of my blood family, and my blood sucking family as well. When it comes to Nikki Reed and who she's dating, she's like a sister to me. Trust me, if she was dating some jerk I'd be all against it, but he's a great guy. It was a pleasure jamming with him and hanging out with him.

THR: If you had to choose one, I know this is a tough question, would it be music or acting?

JR: I think I would just be a father then, in that case. If I had to make the choice between arts, I might just have to move back to Texas and just raise the family. I know I could never just do one.

100 Monkeys determined to be all things to all music fans

Straight reports: For reasons no one has ever been able to quite figure out, bands featuring movie stars tend to fare about as well as movies featuring rock stars. Or, to put things in simpler terms, for every Dead Man’s Bones, there are a dozen Dogstars. Source Via @lolamisweetlove.

Los Angeles–based 100 Monkeys has proven one of those rare exceptions to the rule, the quintet somehow selling out almost every show it plays and yet remaining largely underground. That the band has managed to establish itself as a legitimate act—as opposed to the group with that guy from the Twilight movies—is somehow fitting. After all, 100 Monkeys, which is scheduled to release a new album this spring, was already a going concern when Hollywood embraced guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Jackson Rathbone, better known to teenage vampire fans as Jasper Hale. Reached in Tinseltown, singer Ben Graupner traces the origin of the group back to drummer Ben Johnson flying in from Philadelphia right around the time that Rathbone was scheduled to join the Twilight franchise in Vancouver.

“Ben was going to stay in Jackson and I’s apartment for a month when Jackson was going to film the first Twilight,” Graupner recalls. “The two of us were planning on doing a recording project together. The day Ben flew into the airport, by the time I’d picked him up and brought him back to the house, Jackson had found out they’d pushed back shooting for a month. So the three of us ended up in the studio together, which is where we wrote the album Monster de Lux. It was right when the band was turning out its first presentable work that the movies were starting.”

Monster de Lux hit the streets in 2009, a year that would also see the release of a follow-up record, Grape, both discs establishing 100 Monkeys as a group determined to be all things to all music fans. The band often gets tagged as a independent funk-rock unit, suggesting the Red Hot Chili Peppers during the freak-flag years. As Grape proves, though, the Monkeys have more in common with genre-jumpers like Ween, the group cruising effortlessly from hayride country (“Clippity Clop”) to sweaty soul-man blues (“Arizona”) to gothic disco punk (“Orson Brawl”). XXX “The genre-jumping started because this band started out, live on-stage, at this bar in Hollywood,” Graupner says. “Originally, we didn’t have a single prepared song. We would just go in, show up, and play music all night, trying to keep the rhythm going so people could dance and have a good time. Out of that, you never really wanted to play the same kind of stuff.”

Even today, on-stage is where 100 Monkeys remains most comfortable, with its buzzed-about performances helping earn the group band-you-need-to-know honours in publications like Spin. Aside from the fact that the Monkeys switch up instruments every second song, show highlights inevitably include Graupner and company canvassing the crowd for song ideas, and then creating improv-based tunes on the spot. Yes, there’s more to 100 Monkeys than a chance to see a Twilight star in the flesh.

“There’s a lot of outside publicity and press that comes to us from Jackson’s acting career,” the singer acknowledges. “But, on top of that, there’s almost like an alt following that’s been built around our live shows. There are people who are addicted to the live 100 Monkeys shows. I love our albums and our recorded music, but there’s something magical that happens when the five of us get on-stage together in front of a crowd.”

100 Monkeys plays Venue on Friday (March 4).

The Daily Citizen Interview with 100 Monkeys Publicist

MTV’s cameras captured footage of the band’s tour bus stuck in Dalton in the snow Christmas morning, which aired Jan. 21 on “The Seven.” They had a show that night in Atlanta and spent Christmas Eve at the home of a childhood friend of Sarem’s. Several trekked to Waffle House in Tunnel Hill at midnight, including Rathbone, Sarem and Graupner.

So did they attract any attention? Sarem said one girl kept staring at them like she recognized them but didn’t say anything.

“Jackson looks different in person than he does in the ‘Twilight’ movies because of all the makeup and contacts,” she said. “If you go to a film premiere you know it’s Jackson. If you go to a concert you know it’s Ben (Graupner). But Waffle House at midnight in Tunnel Hill? It’s like, what the heck would they be doing there?”

Sarem enjoys the work and hopes to continue with 100 Monkeys as long as they want her.

“There’s very few things you can do in your life that make people’s lives better, and the entertainment business can do that,” she said. “Your best memories are that concert you went to. You remember that forever. The fact that I get to be a part of making that happen, helping people discover music they love, there’s nothing better.”
