TY to Jamie who wrote in to remind us:

“100 Monkeys will be on MTV on Thursday on The Seven at 5pm Eastern, 4pm Central(see preview video below). They came and interviewed the band while filming the music video for, “The Fair.” They will also be premiering “The Fair” on their show when the music video is ready so (yes the rumors are true!)

Be sure to catch Jackson on The 10 on Top on Saturday Dec 4th at 11:30am Eastern/10:30am Central, also on MTV for an exclusive interview where he also talks about the band and some of his other up and coming projects!
ALSO keep a look out on MTV.com for some behind the scenes in Baton Rouge footage, and MTV.com will be premiering the music video “Kolpix” later on this week!”

Check out the band here

100 Monkeys Do The Monster Mash

Heidi, one of the admins on the official Twilight Facebook page, put this together had this on her facebook, and it is hilarious. It was created by Hell Yeah 100 Monkeys

100 Monkeys Play in Baton Rouge

The band was at a local Baton Rouge music store where they played to an intimate crowd. See more footage on YouTube The Monkeys are also slated to play other gigs in the Louisiana driving area. Check their website for details.

The cast, which at this point is limited to the Cullens and Taylor Launter, have been spotted in various Baton Rouge locations enjoying the parks, restaurants, health clubs, etc. Eventually Julia Jones and Booboo Stewart are expected in Baton Rogue. Most of the other cast will probably be in Vancouver only.

The Louisiana location is being used for mostly interior shots and Vancouver will be for outdoors.

As of last word they were still looking into filming segments in Brazil, but no exact location or timetable has been established.

100 Monkeys Does GoDaddy Commercial

Lexicon reader, Jamie, wrote in to tell us about this one:

“Jackson Rathbone and his band, 100 Monkeys, starred in a promotion for “Go Daddy”. They’re dressed in silly costumes, and talking with fake Russian accents and pretending to be a band called “The Mustaches”. It’s so hilarious! Plus people can vote for their favorite video so by sending this out to Twi-fans you can help out the band 🙂

Here’s the link:

there are several videos and only the top one plays first so be sure to tell folks to watch “The Mustaches” (you can click on it on the right).

Girlfriend Trailer featuring Jackson Rathbone

Girlfriend will be making its world debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in early September. The trailer debuted today on the Facebook page for Girlfriend. You can also keep up to date when release dates and other information regarding the movie by following @girlfriendmovie on Twitter.

I have to say after watching the trailer the movie looks very interesting and maybe just a little sad. Can’t wait to see it.

Movie Description
When an unexpected financial windfall affords a young man with Down Syndrome some freedom, he decides to pursue the object of his high school crush, Candy. The decision brings him into conflict with her volatile ex-boyfriend, and the three find themselves involved in a complex, unpredictable triangle of love, aspiration and dreams.

100 Monkeys Summer Tour 2010

This just in from 100 Monkeys:

“Los Angeles band 100 Monkeys have been nothing short of active these past few months after the first part of their fan-picked 100 City Tour came to an end. Two new singles, Kol Pix and Future Radio, were debuted worldwide earlier this month and made their first radio appearance on the Jimmy Star Show this past week. 100 Monkeys also announced the release of the first disc of a two-disc live CD titled “Live and Kickin’ Part 1.”  The songs on the CD were recorded during the first-half of the 100 City Tour and will be released just before they leave on tour.  In less than four days they?ll embark on a Summer Tour consisting of twelve cities which run up and down the west coast.  These guys have been nothing short of busy.

100 Monkeys are highly driven by their fan base and all of the people who support them.  Their last tour, the 100 City Tour was picked by the fans themselves who voted for the band to come to their city.  Those cities who had the most votes or pleas to come to their city, were setup to be visited.  Two cities picked by the fans that now stand out more than ever are Sacramento, CA and San Francisco, CA, which will be played on the upcoming Summer Tour.  Sacramento is a city they have yet to visit on any tour, and was set to be played in January but ended up having to be cancelled.  San Francisco is a city they haven?t played since early 2009 and during their last tour also sadly had to cancel.

Their Summer Tour begins on July 20th, 2010, and runs through to August 6th, 2010, and will include the following cities (in order):  Hermosa Beach, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Las Vegas, NV; San Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Vancouver, BC, Canada; Fresno, CA; Reno, NV; Sacramento, CA; and wraps up in Los Angeles, CA.

100 Monkey members, Ben Graupner, Lawrence Abrams, Jerad Anderson, Ben Johnson and Jackson Rathbone (who appears in such movies as The Last Airbender, and the Twilight Saga) are looking forward to visiting all twelve cities, but Sacramento, CA and San Francisco, CA, are ones in which they can?t wait to play as they were skipped the last time around and it will be a chance to hopefully see some new faces.

In an effort to  pack the house at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA and The Venue in Sacramento, CA, the Official 100 Monkeys Street Team is offering up goodies for those fans and supporters who wish to help make these shows truly sensational.  These two cities were picked at random for the  “goodie giveaway”because  they were previously canceled on the 100 City Tour.  Fans are being asked to print the flyers and take pictures of where they are posted throughout these cities.  Fans who submit five pictures/venues to [email protected] will score themselves a signed flyer by all of the guys (and maybe more since we’re feeling generous)!  If you need flyers for either of these events, please email the Street Team.  For any fans wanting to go above and beyond and live around San Francisco, CA area, feel free to text your local radio stations Live 105 (Text# 36105) and Alice @ 97.3 (Text# 25423) requesting 100 Monkeys.  For those fans living around the Sacramento, CA area, anyone who logs on to http://www.krxq.net/can also requests 100 Monkeys on the form on their website.

Recently 100 Monkeys was featured in Rolling Stone as one of “Bamboozle 2010’s Five Breakout Bands to Watch, their honest and catchy lyrics combined with the fusion of Rock, Jazz, Blues, Funk, and even borderline Country, creates a truly eclectic sound; one which the band has coined  “onomatopoetic, but for the sake of simplicity, we’ll call it funky rock-n-roll,” and a show not to be missed.

Just as unique as the band’s sound, are their live performances, which feature their now patented  Monkey Switcheroo, in which band members exchange instruments, often during a song.  Additionally, fans attending live shows look forward to the nightly Improv Song, where the band takes title suggestions from the audience and turns it into a lyrical masterpiece.

Here is a sample of one of their improve songs called snake charmer.
