'Twilight: Eclipse' landed this week... bringing about an equal assemblage of haters and pubescent swoon. Speaking of pubescent swoon, Jackson Rathbone is taking a little time away from his day job (starring in upcoming films The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Last Airbender) to spend some time on tour with his 100 Monkeys bandmates Ben Graupner, Jerad Anderson, and Ben Johnson supporting their new single KOLPIX available on the bands site www.100monkeymusic.com.
The release of KOLPIX culminates a hectic first half of 2010 for 100 Monkeys... wrapping up their 100-city tour this spring and being named Spin's 25 Artists to Watch and Rolling Stone's 5 Breakout Bands at Bamboozle Fest...

“This eccentric Cali act have a built-in buzz magnet — band member Jackson Rathbone, also known as one of Twilight’s famous vampires. Their spazzy, energetic Saturday set blended tribal sounds with vocals recalling Jim Morrison’s baritone croon. The “can-this-be-real?” factor ran high thanks to song titles like “The Monkey Song,” lyrics like “free, free, free the beast” and five guys in bandanas jumping around and playing hand drums, trumpet and flute..." - Rolling Stone
