The Year in Jonas
Are the Bros the hardest-working act in show business? Since January, the trio has been plowing through a demanding year: They sold out two headlining tours, released the now-platinum A Little Bit Longer, and even squeezed in a little fun time. But wait, there's more! Here's a look back at the highlights from their madcap 2008.
Jan. 31: 'Look Me in the Eyes'
The Bros launch their tour with a free parking-lot show in Tucson that
shuts down a highway. They go on to fill venues ''we never thought we'd
sell out,'' Kevin says.
Feb. 1: Miley's Movie
Their big-screen debut with Cyrus nets $65 million and zillions of new
fans. Of the Disney double dip, Nick says, ''It was overload for some
kids.'' In a good way.
April 24: Oprah!
''Oprah was the only interview I was super-nervous to go into,'' says
Kevin. ''She can ask you anything and you have to know what you're about
to say.''
June 20: 'Camp Rock' Premiere
Kevin claims they didn't know their Disney TV movie which premiered to
8.9 million viewers would be so huge. Has he heard of High School
Musical?
Aug. 12: Album Release
The trio storms the Big Apple hitting TRL, GMA, and Regis & Kelly to
promote Longer. They also multi-task, shooting scenes for a 3-D movie of
their own.
Aug. 15: Joe's Birthday
''We had a bonfire in Woodstock,'' says Joe of his 19th birthday. ''It was
cool. It was just me and my best friends roasting hot dogs and hanging
out.''
Sept. 3: Meeting the Obamas
Okay, not the president-elect, but the littlest Obamas, Malia and Sasha,
backstage at Ellen. ''We heard they were fans,'' says Kevin, ''so it was
cool to meet them.''
Sept. 22: Shooting 'Jonas'
Production begins on their new Disney Channel sitcom. ''Doing a TV show
is such a massive thing,'' Kevin says. ''We're writing all the songs.''
Oct. 27: Gas Leak
The JoBros announce that, with youngest brother Frankie, they'll star in
the movie adaptation of Walter the Farting Dog.
