100 Monkeys for Eclipse Soundtrack?

A year ago, director Catherine Hardwick has pushed for Robert Pattinson to be included in the Twilight soundtrack. Though there was still clamor for Rob to return for the second time around for New Moon, the Brit actor politely declined. But Rob isnt the only musically inclined Twilight actor. Jackson Rathbone has a band named 100 Monkeys and have been playing in Vancouver while Jackson is filming the Twilight Saga.Will they accept the chance to be included in the Eclipse soundtrack?

“It’s been talked about, but it’s one of those things,” Rathbone said when asked if he had been approached to have songs on the previous soundtracks. “We’re going to be kind of giving some of our songs off of our upcoming album for them to see if they want to put on ‘Eclipse.’ “

“We’d love it,” Rathbone said. “[But] we’re not really pushing for it. It’s one of those things where if they want to put our song on the album, I’m not going to complain.”

But in the mean time, Jackson and his band are busy putting the musical score for Jackson’s indie movie, Girlfriend.

“It’s one of those things that we’re not really pressing for it, because we just love making music. We love playing live and we just have so much fun doing it, that for us it’s all about the performance and not so much the marketing,” he said.

“We believe in any marketing that we do, we give all the marketing to the fans because it’s what they want,” he said, referencing a contest 100 Monkeys will be having on their Web site that will allow the fans to vote on the cities they want the band to perform in. “They’re supporting us. Without them we’d be living on bread and water alone.”
