Twilight star Jackson Rathbone turning to music

The 26-year-old actor is channelising its attention towards his passion for music and preparing to head off with the Los Angeles-based group for its very first international tour which comprises a number of shows throughout the US later this year, reported Contactmusic.

"The thing we do with 100 Monkeys is we play with our audience. It``s just a fun time. They came out to see us and we came there to see them. That``s what makes us a great live band. We love playing," said Rathbone.

He admitted that his tour with his four best friends is mainly for fun and not glamour.

"We are on a red, smelly bus. It wasn``t as smelly before we got on, but it definitely had some residue. It``s actually from the 1992 Metallica tour; it``s got a little Metallica vibe to it," he added.
