Jackson Rathbone and ’100 Monkeys’ in Portrait Magazine!

New pictures and interview of Eclipse hottie Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper Hale) and his band 100 Monkeys via Portrait Magazine.

Kat from Portrait Magazine had the awesome opportunity to sit down with the band. They discussed the Spencer Bell Legacy Concert and answered questions from fans -

Hi Guys. Could you tell us about the Spencer Bell Legacy concert? How did you get involved?
The members of 100 Monkeys have been working with the Bell family and Dr. Gary Hammer for a few years now, putting on the legacy shows and trying to spread the word of Spencer’s music and art since he passed away in 2006. We got involved because many of us were personal friends of Spencer’s, and bringing his music to other people means a lot to us.

At the end of the day what do you most want to inspire in people through this concert?
It means a lot to us when we hear that listening to Spencer’s music or reading his writing has inspired someone to pull their guitar out of the closet or start writing again. Anyone can create art and get satisfaction from the process, and when people come together as a group to celebrate and appreciate an artist’s life and work, it can make you believe in yourself too.

(Question from Susanne)
I heard that Jackson and Jerad produced a movie together. What is it about?
It’s about a young man with down syndrome who romantically pursues a single mother in a small town, while her volatile ex-boyfriend watches on.

(Question from Anonymous)
For Jackson: What’s your favorite childhood memory?
I sled into a cement wall when I was five and busted my head open. Had to go to the hospital and get stitched up.

(Question from Megan)
Besides being musicians Jackson, Jerad and Ben G are all actors. Is there any chance we would be seeing all of them together in a movie?
Yes definitely. We are working on a couple projects right now that would involve the whole band.

(Question from Cynee)
What happened to Jackson Rathbone’s face? It looks as though he has a slightly bruised left eye,a scrape on the bridge of his nose and a scrape on the left side of his face.
Diamond Jim Brady says, “Leave it to legend.”
