 The Jonas Brothers
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime In the past five years, Disney has managed to grow by leaps and bounds by expanding its wide audience to appeal to teens. They have done this mainly through the success of Disney Channel’s original TV series which have spawned popular young performers, not merely as actors, but also as singers through record deals with the company. The Jonas Brothers have emerged as a rare anomaly in Disney’s seemingly assembly-line teenybopper music factory. Originally signed to Columbia Records, they emerged to little success until Disney’s record label Hollywood ultimately took them under their wing. Slowly, but surely, the Jonases began emerging on various Disney Channel programming, particularly on the hit series Hannah Montana. Soon enough, the band members released their eponymous sophomore album. It has spawned three top 40 hits with “Year 3000”, “S.O.S.”, and “When You Look Me In The Eyes”. This positioned the group among the bigger crossover successes of the fairly niche Disney staple, going out on the highly successful Best Of Both Worlds tour with Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus, which was made into a concert film earlier this year. The New Jersey-bred band have emerged as a sort of East Coast Hanson for the 2000’s. Like the aforementioned group, The Jonas Brothers are a band of three young brothers who, unlike most teenybopper acts, play their own instruments, write their own songs, have fairly distinctive hairstyles, and most especially, get mobbed by packed crowds of screaming girls everywhere they go. Now the Jonases hope to emerge even further in the world of the Disney Channel. They each star in the channel’s new original TV film Camp Rock, in which they play a band named Connect Three. The band consists of 19 year-old Kevin, 18 year-old Joe, and 15 year-old Nick. They first discussed to us the fairly hectic schedule that emerged from doing both Camp Rock and their music at the same time. “It was pretty easy, because what we do is music,” Joe claims, “We actually wanted to get back to, after filming all day, your initial thinking is, ‘OK, let’s go to the studio, cause that’s what we do for fun. So it wasn’t anything like pressure, it was just, let’s go, so it was a lot of fun.” We asked the boys to share with us what was the toughest part of filming Camp Rock. “The hardest part to us was all of the kids in the cast, we were all singing together and we were laughing at the wrong time,” Kevin recalls, “So we’d catch things that no one else had seen and be laughing.” “We have all these inside jokes,” Joe adds, “There’s this line “Pop Informer Magazine” and I couldn’t say it on set. But in the movie, you can’t really tell, but we all know, so all the cast is laughing at the serious point where everybody’s at tears. So these people are looking around, like, ‘Why is everybody laughing?’ It was really funny.” They also share their excitement for being ... |
