100 Monkeys arrive in Vancouver!

The world has already encountered The Monkees, Iron Monkey, Monkey Bone, 12 Monkeys, Monkey Business, The Curse of Monkey Island, The Arctic Monkeys and ton of other primate collaborations, but never before has the world encountered something quite like 100 Monkeys.

The Los Angeles-based band, comprised of Ben Graupner, Jackson Rathbone (from the Twilight movie saga), Jerad Anderson, Ben Johnson and Uncle Larry, will be performing in Vancouver on Sept. 12 at the Rickshaw Theater. Will be it an event of tree swinging proportions? Can you afford to monkey around? Drop that banana and find out.

RockStar Weekly had a chance to talk to the entire band about coming to Vancouver, how they originally got together, and who really wears that banana suit (I know there’s a monkey in a banana suit joke in there somewhere).

We also couldn’t resists talking to Jackson about his new flick Twilight “New Moon”, the second tale in the Twilight saga, which hits theatres this November. We also broke the ice about his lead role in the 2010 epic The Last Airbender, the new film from director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs).
