Nick Jonas & the Administration

Nick Jonas & the Administration is a band formed in 2009 as a side project by Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Performers include singer, pianist, guitarist, drummer and songwriter Nick Jonas, bassist John Fields, drummer Michael Bland, keyboardist Tommy Barbarella, and guitarist David Ryan Harris. Sonny Thompson replaced David Ryan Harris during the 2010 tour. The group was named after Nick Jonas' interest in the presidency.

History

Group formation

"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. "They weren't necessarily right for the Jonas Brothers, but I thought they could be perfect for something else.".[1]

The band was announced on the official MySpace page of the Jonas Brothers on October 28, stating it was just a "side project" and this is not the end of the Jonas Brothers.[2] 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.

The Administration members Michael Bland, Tommy Barbarella and Sonny Thompson formerly played together in Prince's New Power Generation from 1991–1996. All three were original members.

2009–2010: Who I Am and Stay

Main article: Who I Am (Nick Jonas and the Administration album)

The first single of the album Who I Am was officially released on December 3, 2009 followed by the release of the music video.[3][4] The group made its live debut performing a single of the same name on the Grammy Nominations Concert Live special Dec. 2 on CBS.[1][5] Jonas cut the album in eight days with producer John Fields, who also played bass.[6] The album has 9 new numbers and a cover of the Jonas Brothers single "Tonight".[7] Nick originally wrote the song World War III for the administration, but instead it was used of the Jonas Brothers album Lines, Vines and Trying Times.[8] He also wrote a song called Oval Office but the songs never appeared on the record because according to Nick the song didn't sound good.[9] "Rose Garden" was the first song written for the album and was partly inspired by a difficult break-up.[10] Previews of the songs Olive & An Arrow,[11] Last Time Around,[12] State of Emergency,[12] Stronger (Back on the Ground)[12] and Vespers Goodbye[13] were released online before the official album release. Their debut album Who I Am was released February 2, 2010 as a Standard Edition (CD) and Limited Edition (CD+DVD) and reached Number 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling over 80,000 copies. .[14] Nick promoted the album on February 2 during various mini live chats with Sonny Thompson. Nick performed with Sonny Thompson acoustic versions of the songs Last Time Around, Who I Am, Tonight during Radio Disney Total Access;[15][16] he also promoted the album during TV performances. As of May 2010, the album has sold over 151,000 copies in the U.S.[17]

In January 2010, Nick Jonas & the Administration began touring in support of their debut album, Who I Am.[18] Apart from guest appearances at specific events, it marks the first time Nick has toured without his brothers, Kevin and Joe. Kevin and Joe did appear on certain dates to sing a song with Nick. Frankie Jonas appeared on the last tour day. Diane Birch was the major support act of the tour.[19] The tour is set to only take place in small, intimate venues in the United States. While on tour Nick Jonas and the Administration performed new songs such as Stay (which he wrote and recorded while he was on tour; he performed it since January 6),[7][20][21] I Do (performed on the last day of tour)[22] and While The World Is Spinning,[7][23]A Lot of Love To Spill, they also performed remixes of the Jonas Brothers songs Inseparable[24] and Before The Storm;[25] at the end of the tour they recorded the video clips for the songs Rose Garden and Stay. The tour began on January 2, in Dallas, Texas and ended January 30, in Berkeley, California.

On March 2, 2010 they released the song "Stay" as an digital Single[26][27] and a digital EP.[28] Nick said that the song won't be on the record because he wrote it too late. He also said that Stay "is a song I wrote that day we had off in Washington. It came after some things that I was going through that really inspired it.. and I'm just in a good place right now and was able to get a song out of it, which is always nice." [27]

2010–present: Jonas Brothers Live In Concert

Main article: Jonas Brothers Live In Concert

While announcing Nick Jonas' side-project Nick Jonas and the Administration, the brothers announced they were planning a world tour to take place during the summer of 2010.

There was made an announcement that Nick Jonas & the Administration will be opening for the Jonas Brothers Live In Concert tour during the concerts in South America.[35] Soon after the announcement they released a statement were they denied that Nick Jonas & the Administration will be opening during the South America concerts.[36] As of october 15th, he performes Who I Am during the concerts in South America.
