The blood-sucking vampire from Twilight on wanting more tattoos, causing trouble in boarding school, and dealing with rabid groupies

INKED: Let’s talk tattoos. How many do you have?
JACKSON RATHBONE: I only have one right now, but I definitely plan on getting more. My friends and I were kind of the bad kids in school, the troublemakers. We went to Interlochen Arts Academy, this really great boarding school in Michigan, and there were six of us who were always acting out against authority. The school administration was like, “Stay away from those boys-they’re ‘Lost Boys,’” so that’s what everyone called us. When I was 18, I got a tattoo that says, “I’m lost.”

What kind of shenanigans did you guys get into?
Remember the prohibition era? It was kind of like that.

Scans will come ASAP. They have now been added!

First off, I’d really like to thank Emily and especially Theresa for their contributions for today’s post! If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be able to update y’all on the shows from the past couple of days!

To start it off, images taken by both girls (THANKS AGAIN :-*) have been added to the gallery. Make sure to check em’ out, you definitely don’t wanna miss them!

Finally, here’s Theresa’s review (and videos too!) from two of the shows in Vancouver. The one at Neptoon Records and the all ages Rio Theatre show. You can also find Emily’s video from Tuesday’s show behind the cut as well. Enjoy!

Neptoon’s was awesome! They did I’m pretty sure 6 songs. They opened with Arizona, which sounded amazing. Jackson and Ben G explained that Arizona was based on a true story. They didn’t go into any more detail as to whose woman took their money and went to Arizona. But that’s was some really cool background. Then they did Looker, and Jackson showed us his mad multitasking skills while strumming a bass and playing the little xylophone. (I think that’s what it was). I really do love that song. After those two, the order is a little confusing for me. I know they played Poison Oak (which I have no footage of ), Smoke, in which Ben J showed his amazing vocal talent after a little joking from Jackson, somewhere in there I’m pretty sure they played Wing On Fire, and the closed it all out with Orson Brawl (which I will be uploading shortly.) where Jackson introduced the band, Ben G on keyboard, Jerad on guitar, the amazing Ben J on drums, himself, Scott (Poor scott all crammed in a little corner doin the sound, then Marty (who was trying to make a mad dash to the exit) and Kristina (pardon my spelling if that’s not correct), which is Jerad’s wife, who Jackson introduced as “the band wife.”

Thanks to Faran of Nylon Magazine for the heads up, Jackson’s article/interview with the magazine has now been posted on their site. I’ve added a snippet from it to the post. You can also check out the pictures from the shoot at the site as well. They’ve also been placed into the gallery.

The Twilight actor plays a song for us on piano. We like him.

The adage that you can tell a lot about someone by their shoes seems true of Jackson Rathbone, who is wearing brown leather cowboy boots flecked with yellow paint.  He spent many of his formative years in Texas, and talking to him, it becomes clear that he would describe himself as an artist before he would just call himself an actor.

Rathbone started acting in high school when he attended Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, and moved from set and lighting design to a spot in front of the curtain.  “When I started being onstage, I fell in love with it,” he says.  Although he is now best known as Jasper Hale in Twilight, and is currently filming M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, what Rathbone seems most excited to talk about right now is his band, 100 Monkeys.
