100 Monkeys: Age Is Just a Number
100 Monkeys sat down with legendary Las Vegas entertainment reporter Robin Leach (yes, that Robin Leach) to talk about the band’s dynamic:
“It isn’t the unusual name of 100 Monkeys that makes the funk rock band so unique. It isn’t just that Twilight star Jackson Rathbone is in the band. It isn’t just the fact that all five musicians can switch over to one another’s roles and alternate instruments during performances. It’s the fact that four of the all-American boys are in their 20s, and the fifth member is a black man in his late 50s.
“The age gap is unique, but art has no age, no number, no beginning and no end,” 57-year-old Chicago-born Lawrence Abrams told me. “When I first met them, I saw and felt a lot of myself coming up in them right before my eyes. I may be 25 years their senior, but they have rhythm and soul. They say I bring a lot of wisdom, kindness and patience to their table.”

100 Monkeys Hits the Road on a 2011 Tour
According to MTV’s Hollywood Crush:
“Get ready to go bananas, Crushers: Jackson Rathbone‘s band 100 Monkeys is not only gearing up to release their second full-length album, but they’ll be hitting the road this summer to promote it!
It’s refreshing to see that the “Twilight” star, despite being busy finishing up the second half of “Breaking Dawn,” hasn’t neglected his funky, eclectic band that caught our attention in 2009 (he was even kind enough to do a video diary and debuted one of their music videos exclusively for Hollywood Crush!)
The band announced on their official website that their upcoming record, which is aptly titled Liquid Zoo, will be released on June 28, which just so happens to be the same day they head out on tour!”
They are playing all over the US and Canada. Some of the venues have great history behind them. For example they are playing The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey which is the club Bruce Springsteen started out in. Most of the venues are for all ages, so no worries about under 21′s having no chance of getting in.
