Ugh. No news yet on the Jonas Brothers Oregon Concert yet. GR. Any who, here are the articles for today, so far.
Daily Herald: Jonas onus Band of brothers seeks to step out of Hannah Montana's shadow[
FULL ARTICLE]
If 2007 was the year of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, 2008 might be the year of the Jonas Brothers.
At least, the teenaged pop-rock act seems to have all the pieces in place for a breakthrough of "Montana-mental" proportions.
The initial step is the Jonas Brothers' first tour as a headlining act -- which kicked off Jan. 31 and includes a Friday show at the E Center in West Valley City.
"We're very excited about this tour," Kevin Jonas said. "It's our first time where we actually have some type of production on the tour, instead of just three risers and, you know, our instruments.
"We remember a year ago, we were in a van and that's how we traveled, no buses, no trucks or anything, and it was kind of just starting from the ground up," he said. "And now a year later, we have a sold-out tour -- it's really exciting. And we're just really blessed."
The band's popularity has mushroomed, thanks in part to being the opening act on last fall's monumental Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus tour.----------
The Wildcat Online: The kids are alright[
FULL ARTICLE]
Opening the doors was like stepping out of a time machine into the French Revolution - the throbbing screech of children, bodies jumping and pushing every which way in manifestations of flightless terror, pounding music of the bourgeoisie zapping my ear hairs into dust, bloodshed at the hands of Asian fathers and older women with Farrah Fawcett haircuts.
Only I wasn't in Paris during the making of history, but at the Tucson Music Hall last Thursday, about to see a Jonas Brothers concert. I'm not sure why I agreed to subject myself to this Disney boy band inferno, but it had something to do with the fact that the Wildcat got free tickets. I, myself, can never resist priceless adventures of the price-less, even if I know ahead of time that I'll be surrounded by nothing but ten-year-olds in concert shirts and slightly older scenesters in hippy headbands and drastically-cut bangs.
They were pounding that "Everybody Move Your Feet and Feel United" song that always pops up in lame clubs and bar mitzvauhs of the worst variety, and suddenly the loudest most fearsome clanging of screeches I've ever heard was unleashed from the depths of Hell and into this room. Were they all really screaming and jumping up and down just for a roadie with an unusually large beard on the stage? That's what it seemed like, but the girl next to me informed me that there was a camera about.
