Hands On Jonas

Finally, a Jonas Brothers game! Disney Interactive knows what I, and tween girls want, and that is the freaking Jo-Bros. And so here at E3 2009 they were showing off the Altron-developed game for the Nintendo DS.

The game Jonas is based on the new show on the Disney Channel. It starts the Jonas Brothers, playing the Lucas Brothers, who are in a band called Jonas, named after the street they live on. Got that? Imagine Flight of the Conchords, but more slapstick, made for tween girls, and starring the Jonas Bros (I know, that sounds amazing).

The game, in concept, is similar to the Hannah Montana: Music Jam game from a few years back. It has a story and an adventure game mode, as well as a touch screen rhythm game element. Both are similar to, but different from previous games in this style in Disney’s lineup.

In the adventure mode, players run around, collecting notes to fill up a power bar. This power bar allows the character to use a guitar to activate machines, change the direction of things like moving platforms, open locked areas, and other things that help solve the various puzzles. To activate the powerup players have to play a small section of a song, kind of like playing a song on an Ocarina, but touch screen based, and way more rocking. The game spans six levels, based on six of the episodes from the first season of the show.

The music portion has D-pad icons falling from the top screen. Players have to press the shown direction, then strum the guitar on the touch screen when the icon hits the strings. It’s very similar to how the Hannah Montana game and Ultimate Band on the DS played.

Oh and did I mention you can accessorize the Jo Bros with different outfits, hats, and shoes. Because you so totally can. Those boys do love their fashion, especially Joe.

On the Scene: Jonas Brothers’ mom calls the tune for Good Housekeeping

Wednesday, June 3rd 2009, 8:23 AM

The Jonas Brothers share some space with their mom in the July issue of Good Housekeeping.

Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas are total mama’s boys - in the best way.

In the July issue of Good Housekeeping, the pop stars pose with their mom, Denise, who reveals how she raised the boys right in the spotlight. Mama Jonas says she taught her sons everything from good manners to safe sex (otherwise known as “abstinence”) - and how to behave on the road.

“She makes us be careful in the hotel room,” admits 17-year-old Nick of his mother’s etiquette rules. “[She makes us] put back the towels, straighten the bed.”

But Mom is smart enough to know that boys will be boys, and that they won’t be able to keep their pure images forever. “They are men. They have desires,” she confesses, even though each of her boys wears a chastity ring. “They have testosterone. If they make a mistake, I’m not going to hate them. I don’t think they are above or below being seduced. I would be foolish if I thought that. I pray for them.”

Thankfully, Denise doesn’t have much to worry about - for now.

“People always ask, ‘What’s a girl have to do to get your attention?’” says Joe, 19. “[I say] she has to be good to Mom.”

As for Denise’s requirements in a daughter-in-law? “She must sincerely and totally love my son!”

With a world full of adoring fans, that shouldn’t be hard to find.

How to Raise Rock Stars

Denise Jonas, mom of the Jonas Brothers, opens up about how she keeps them grounded. Plus, download a free poster, watch behind-the-scenes video, and enter to win an autographed magazine and CD.

From food stamps to fame, it’s been a wild ride for Denise Jonas, mom of America’s biggest pop stars, the Jonas Brothers. Here, she opens up about how she keeps them grounded and makes her marriage work — plus the one parenting rule she will never, ever break

About a year ago, Denise Jonas took her family to a Bob’s Big Boy near Burbank, CA. As everyone began deciding between the fried chicken and cheeseburgers, in walked Kristy McNichol, the actress who starred in the late-1970s TV series Family and the 1980 film Little Darlings.

“She was just sitting there. My teenage idol!” Denise practically squeals, even now. At the restaurant, she turned her head all the way around just to watch McNichol sit down in a booth and open a menu. “I’d just loved her so much,” Denise says. “I did the whole thing — gasped, sucked the air out of the room.”

“Mom!” Denise’s kids said. “What’s wrong?!”

Her boys stared at Denise as if she might be ill. Finally one guessed, “Starstruck?”

The family burst out laughing. Denise’s family is the Jonas family, and her three oldest sons — Kevin, 21; Joseph, 19; and Nicholas, 16 — are the Jonas Brothers, arguably the world’s most popular band. The first weeks of their 2009 seven-month, sold-out international tour will take them from Lima to London. And at every concert, tween and teenage girls (as well as many of their moms) quiver, sob, scream, and sometimes faint. No wonder they are the youngest band ever to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone. With their fourth studio album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, just out and their booming TV and movie careers, the boys have the pop-culture landscape well covered.

If it has all been a wild ride since the brothers guest-starred on a 2007 Hannah Montana episode, nearly instant fame continues to be a surreal experience for the woman who gave birth to them all. People are starting to rubberneck at her.

“The other day I was in Walmart buying, you know, private things,” Denise says, her brown eyes sparkling. “And people were coming right over to my cart!”

Denise Jonas is caught in a Disney-magic-wand moment between the working class world she has always known and the fairy-princess fishbowl of fame where she will most likely live from now on. Little in her background prepared her for trips to the White House (seven so far), chats with Barbara Walters, and travel by private plane. When she was growing up in Newburgh, NY, her dad was employed by an exterminating company and later by the postal service, and her mom worked in public school education. Her family moved to Phoenix when she was a child. They were, Denise says, typical Italians — big on food (Grandma’s cooking comes up in interviews with the Jonas Brothers) and sacrifice for children. When Denise was young, the family converted from Catholicism to nondenominational Christianity, and after high school, Denise felt called to missionary work. “I had a heart to give my life to service. [But] I didn’t really know all I could do in that area,” Denise says. “After meeting my husband, we were able to work through music.”

Young Love

Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. met on their very first day at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. The sweet-faced man with an intense demeanor (”He talked like he was going to conquer the world,” Denise recalls) had grown up dirt-poor in rural North Carolina with his single mother, and was considered a musical prodigy, singing professionally at age 7. Both Kevin and Denise say they fell for each other at first sight, right in the registration line. “He was talking about working at a summer camp with these young kids, and all his passion and heart for them. And I thought, ‘He could be a wonderful father someday.’”

Within six months of their meeting, Kevin proposed on bended knee; they were married on August 15, 1985. Both were just 18 years old. After graduation, Kevin Sr. became a worship director at an Assembly of God church in Wyckoff, NJ, but his heart lay with music. He soon left his job, and the family, which now included baby Kevin Jr., moved in with Denise’s parents in Arizona. “Kevin worked very diligently to learn the music industry from a songwriting perspective,” Denise remembers. “He’d fly to Nashville — just walking the street, walking into different places.”

For income, Kevin tried to help Denise’s parents, who had bought a carpet-installation business in Arizona. The venture didn’t go well at all. “We had to live on food stamps,” Denise recalls. “It was very hard on my husband. He was trying to do something good for the family, but the business wasn’t paying. It was a humbling time. Now we look back on it as a turning point — something necessary for us to go through so we could properly appreciate where we would be later.”
It’s a Family Affair

Though Kevin Sr. abandoned his dream of becoming a performer, he took a job that combined his Christian faith and love of music: directing a music program at his and Denise’s old institute. This required the family, which by the early 1990s included Kevin Jr. and baby Joe, to spend months at a time on the road in a 15-passenger van, meeting with students.

“We wanted [everyone] to feel joy in the presence of our children,” Denise says. “To me, there’s nothing more frustrating than being around a child who’s annoying. We taught our kids proper manners.” Denise’s methods: consistency, boundaries, and constantly “reinforcing good conduct until it was behavior. Because they’re going to be adults a lot longer than they’re children.”

Even now that her boys are rock stars, Denise holds a hard line on manners; it’s a key way she keeps them grounded while they’re surrounded by a world of glitz.

“It’s not like we’re the von Trapps, and she has a whistle,” says Kevin Jr.

“Yeah, but sometimes we’re running around like madmen,” says Nick. “And she makes us be careful in the hotel room — put back the towels, [straighten] the bed.”

A few years after Nick was born in 1992, Kevin Sr. received another job offer: to be senior pastor at their old church in Wyckoff. Thinking it would be a good place to raise their children — they couldn’t stay on the road forever (”Ha!” Denise now laughs) — they accepted.

Like virtually all mothers, Denise knows that each of her four children (there’s also 8-year-old Franklin, known as Frankie; see page 188) has his talents, but right away, she and Kevin Sr. could tell that Nick was different. He did not like the usual childhood pastimes — he didn’t want to play with LEGOs or watch TV (which Denise only let the boys watch on weekends). “The only thing Nick would watch was a DVD of Mary Martin in Peter Pan.”

Then he started singing — beautifully. One day when he was crooning at the salon where Denise got her hair done, another customer said, “He needs a manager.”

Find out how Nick, Joe and Kevin Jr. started their acting careers, plus how Denise and Kevin keep their marriage strong. Pick up a copy of the July issue of Good Housekeeping on your nearest newsstand.

“Jonas Brothers Go Through ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times’ Track-by-Track!

We here at thehothits.com know that you are absolutely gagging to hear the Jonas Brothers fourth album ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times’, but with the release date still a few weeks away, we’ve got something to keep you going until then. The Jo Bros have just released track by track descriptions of each song on the album, so from that, now you can errr, try to imagine what the songs sound like?? Remember kids - Friday June 19th = ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times’ Australian release date! Oh and check out the video for ‘Paranoid’ if you haven’t already - it’s amazing!

Lines, Vines and Trying Times - Track by Track

“World War III”
This is about a personal experience for me. “World War III” deals with the challenge of a girl who keeps attacking you, provoking you, trying to fight you all the while she’s the only one fighting –Nick Jonas

“Paranoid”
We had the amazing opportunity of writing with two great talents, Cathy Dennis and our producer John Fields. We loved the outcome so much we decided to put it on our record –Jonas Brothers

“Fly With Me”
This song was originally composed for an upcoming film release. After screening the movie and going through the initial process of matching our style to the visuals of the film, we wrote “Fly With Me.” It’s exciting to know that this song will be used in the film’s end credits, as well as featured on our new album –Jonas Brothers

“Poison Ivy”
“Poison Ivy” was a way for us to find the common bond between metaphor and reality. We had the pleasure of writing with our bass player Greg Garbowsky (who we wrote “Tonight” with) infusing new sounds through the use of horn pieces among other new and imaginative musical styles –Nick Jonas

“Hey Baby”
We originally wrote this song for the last album (A Little Bit Longer) while on the road, but felt the “old school sound” was more cohesive with our present style –Nick Jonas

“Before The Storm”
This song was written after personal experiences that made us grow in the ways of love and relationships –Jonas Brothers

“What Did I Do To You Heart”
We wrote this song last summer while on tour in Europe with Avril Lavigne. Still learning and coming into our own, we saw that we would try to solve issues about girls, life, and coming of age, without even knowing what the challenges would be –Jonas Brothers

“Much Better”
Our fans mean the world to us and “Much Better” is giving back to them. After two years of their loyalty and dedication we felt there was no more personal way to give back than to share our influences, from the Bee Gee’s to Neil Diamond –Joe Jonas

“Black Keys”
The inspiration for this song came by way of sitting one day at a piano and writing my first song through the use of only the black keys. It was then that I realized the simplicity of black and white versus the noise that is brought on by color –Nick Jonas

“Don’t Charge Me For The Crime” (featuring Common)
“Don’t Charge Me For The Crime” is a story about getting roped into situations beyond your control. A friend calls you needing a ride and unbeknownst to you, he’s just robbed a bank. Being the good friend that you are, you pick him up and involve yourself beyond your control. This all leads up to you wanting to do the right thing, but even more so, wanting to help those around you into doing the right thing –Jonas Brothers

“Turn Right”
The idea stems from the course that racecar drivers take out on the track, always turning left and here if you take that one chance to go against the grain you find yourself in the arms of safety. It’s a song about taking a chance, doing what you are not necessarily comfortable with and discovering solace in the unknown. And most importantly, trusting those who mean a lot to you –Joe Jonas

“Don’t Speak”
“Don’t Speak” is an homage to some of our favorite contemporary bands: U2, Kings Of Leon and Muse. I think it deals with the biggest mistake we all make which is dwelling on the past instead of just making strides towards the future. All too often we get stuck spinning our wheels trying to fix things without ever realizing how much life is passing us by, because we’ve forgotten how much there is to just look forward to –Jonas Brothers

“Keep It Real”
No description!
