‘I was nervous when you guys first joined on,’ ATL’s Alex Gaskarth tells Stephan Jenkins. ‘I’m a fan.’ By Joel Hanek All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth and Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins Photo: MTV News The eclectic traveling carnival that is the Bamboozle Roadshow came to an end over the weekend in Boston, but the “bro”-bonds that were formed on tour will go on. MTV News followed the action all week, catching up with all of the acts, from pop-punkers Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte to electro-funksters LMFAO and 3OH!3. While the acts were diverse, one common theme among the musicians was their near-unanimous tendency to geek out over fellow headliners Third Eye Blind, with many calling the band one of the biggest influences on the current generation of rock groups. On the penultimate tour stop, at New York’s Nassau Coliseum, we caught up with All Time Low singer Alex Gaskarth and listened in on his talk with one of his musical idols, Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins. It turns out the two were not only fans of one another, but also formed a newfound friendship. “A couple days [into the tour], I saw you guys play, and you guys are like this ongoing sea of energy,” Jenkins told Gaskarth. “That, and you guys have the best banter, because what you do every night it’s so changed up … it’s really authentic.” Gaskarth repaid the compliment, recounting how nearly every night on the Bamboozle fest, everyone met up by the stage to catch a glimpse of Third Eye Blind’s set . On a few dates, Gaskarth was even lucky enough to join the band onstage for a performance of their mega-hit “Jumper.” “I think that was the craziest thing about when you guys actually did join on the tour — one of the big things was we’re a different generation of bands — a lot of us were nervous,” Gaskarth admitted. “I can say I was nervous when you guys first joined on,” he added. “I’m a fan. It’s always like kicking down that wall of ‘do I approach?’ ” With the Roadshow over, both bands are keeping busy. Third Eye Blind plan to record a new album, while All Time Low will be on the road through 2010. Did you catch the Bamboozle Roadshow this year? Who was your favorite act on the lineup?

The band describes the casual attitude of touring with Good Charlotte, Third Eye Blind and others. By Matt Harper All Time Low Photo: MTV News All Time Low are having a pretty good summer. The boys from Baltimore have been spending the last month on the Bamboozle Roadshow, where they’ve met some of their idols, gotten love from their legions of fans and, as the band puts it, done a lot of “bro-in’ down.” ATL took a break from the sweltering heat at the Philadelphia stop of the Roadshow last Sunday to talk to MTV News about the experience of traveling cross-country with Boys Like Girls, LMFAO, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan and Third Eye Blind (among many others). “It’s been great, so much fun,” lead singer Alex Gaskarth gushed. “All the bands have been hanging out, bro-in’ down, as they say.” Summer festivals in America are typically dominated by one-off weekend shows, like Bonnaroo, Coachella and Lollapalooza, but a travelling show like this one creates a uniquely intimate atmosphere that the ATL guys have enjoyed. “It’s festival style, so it feels like a shrunken version of the Warp Tour almost,” Gaskarth said. Lead guitarist Jack Barakat cut in, “It’s weird, ’cause if we don’t hang out, [Third Eye Blind frontman] Stephan Jenkins gets really mad and starts yelling.” The consensus all around is that what makes this tour so much fun is the casual attitude all the headlining bands share. When asked about who’s made an impact on them so far this tour, Alex was quick to answer, “The Good Charlotte guys throughout the tour have been awesome to us.” Barakat agreed, saying the Madden brothers “have been like our fathers almost.” “Our big brothers,” Gaskarth countered. Finally, drummer Rian Dawson settled the friendly debate. “Uncles, we’ll call it,” he said. “That’s somewhere in between brother and father.” Whatever the relationship between the bands, it’s clear that All Time Low are having a blast on the tour. MTV News will be hitting the Bamboozle Roadshow again this week, so check back in for more from your favorite bands on the tour. What’s the best show you’ve seen this summer?
