100 Monkeys is spearheaded by actor/musician Jackson Rathbone (who portrays the vampire Jasper Hale in the Twilight motion picture franchise). Live Nation, House of Blues, Fender, and LG are co-sponsoring the 100 Monkey's 45+ city headlining tour, which takes off June 28th coinciding with Warrior's release of their new album, Liquid Zoo.

100 Monkeys are known to switch instruments nearly every other song during their raucous live-sets, an idea patented as the 'Monkey Switcheroo.' The band attributes their lyrics to 'drinking, death, and women who cheat and steal.' 100 Monkeys jest that their music is purely 'onomatopoetic, but for the sake of simplicity, we'll call it funky rock-n-roll.'

Rolling Stone says, '100 Monkeys emit tribal sounds with vocals recalling Jim Morrison's baritone croon,' while MTV notes, 'Their music is a mix of Iggy Pop with the Raconteurs.' 100 Monkeys performs live July 15th on MTV's The Seven.
