I see that you feel comfortable in Argentina after your third visit. Is there any special reason why?
Nick: The women are beautiful! What other reason would we have? (laughs).
Joe: It is a country that we could never leave out on our tour because we feel so comfortable here. It is incredible how demonstrative the audience is and we as artists feel so flattered to feel this love. That’s why. Why not be thankful and come back to these places?
Kevin: The Argentinean fans are very passionate. Viva Argentina!
I hope I don’t read that you say the same about other countries.
Kevin: No, really! Here we’ve experienced so many crazy stories, in all of our years as artists. For example, once some girl hid in the sound equipment and appeared backstage the day of the show. Another time, they got in the hotel as our cleaning service. That’s awesome… it’s creative and daring.
In your six years as artists, what have you learned about the show business?
Joe: I think we are firm with who we are and what we want to offer as a band. We’ve had moments where we needed to separate, but we never lost track of what the audience wanted with the band.
Nick: It is also a matter of character. The three of us are people with a lot of ego, in the good sense of the word. If only one of us stands out, the other two will just quit. And it’s not like that, it’s the opposite. All three of us stand out.
Kevin: I can’t even begin with studio work. We discuss all the discussions together. Because other than a band, we are a family. And working with family is… like everything else.
Good or bad?
Kevin: It’s good to reach our goals and bad because we have no filter. We argue and make up like any other family. We’ve learned a lot about us and about the stories that surround us.
Reaching succession so young did turn you into something strange? I mean, do you suffer from strange lookers or critics?
Nick: Life has given us a lot of lessons. These years have stabilized our career. What bothered us at the beginning, we understand now. We don’t live away from the social media. We are open to listen to the bad and the good things about us, they are useful for learning. In the meantime we, enjoy the road.
What makes you sound so authentic?
Joe: The need to offer good recording material. We take our time to come out with an album. We don’t have any pressure when we work. It’s a relief.
What’s it like living surrounded by so many people?
Joe: We spend so many days touring that we become a big family. After every show we like to hang out and relax sometimes. The stage is a place with a lot of adrenaline. It’s hard to finish a show and go right to sleep. (He gets closer to the recorder and whispers). In general, we stay up until the next day. It’s like our guilty pleasure, but we end up exhausted.
Do you enjoy doing interviews or is it the bad side of fame?
Kevin: There are some creative and entertaining questions. Sometimes, we get surprised, but we understand that it’s a part of our job.
Nick: It’s a way to reach our audience.
Do you think of changing your style or do you want to remain with your original one?
Joe: In life you have to evolve. We are going to be honest with how we are, with the passion that makes us.
Matt signals the end of the interview. They invite to the show and the boys say goodbye for the last minutes of their rehearsals. Like that, from eating pizza to going to change clothes, they step on stage in the Personal Fest Verano 2013 in Parque Sarmiento. 40.000 people assist the show and 45.000 watched it online on the website. The track list that excited the audience were: Paranoid, Still In Love With You, BB Good, Last Time Around, That’s Just The Way We Roll, Play My Music, Give Love A Try, Gotta Find You, Let’s Go, Just In Love, Who I Am, Fly With Me, Wedding Bells, Hello Beautiful, Lovebug, When You Look Me In The Eyes (the song that marked the beginning of their career in 2007), SOS, and Burnin’ Up. There was also a very emotional moment, where the band dedicated a song to Sofia Koch. She was a fan, that passed away Friday night in a car accident while travelling to town to enjoy her idols concert. All the sad feelings, the Jonas boys made too.
