Nick Jonas & the Administration |
---|
Nick Jonas and the Administration is a band formed as a side project by Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Performers on the album include singer, musician and songwriter Nick Jonas, bass guitarist John Fields, drummer Michael Bland, keyboardist Tommy Barbarella, and guitarist David Ryan Harris. Sonny Thompson will replace David Ryan Harris during the actual Nick Jonas and the Administration tour.
Group formation
Nick Jonas cut the album in eight days with producer John Fields, who also played bass. "I had written five or six songs that were on my heart, things that were just pouring out of me with this new and exciting sound," says Jonas, 17. "They weren't necessarily right for the Jonas Brothers, but I thought they could be perfect for something else." "Besides, Kevin's getting married and retiring, and Joe wants to move on." "I on the other hand still want to sing."[1].
The band was announced on the official myspace page of the Jonas Brothers on October 28th, stating it was just a "side project" and is the end of the Jonas Brothers.[2] Their album Who I Am will be released February 2, 2010. The album made its live debut at the Grammy Nominations Concert on December 2, 2009 on CBS.[3]
Nick said that he's modeling The Administration after Bruce Springsteen. "I'm kind of modeling it after Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band," he said. "It's kind of the look we were going for stylistically on the album cover and just the project in general… [Springsteen] pours so much passion and emotion into all of his songs every night and I hope I can capture that too."
