[/u]HELLO, AND WELCOME TO TMZ! TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF, LIKE YOUR NAME.
"Why hello, hello. Oh, thank you. It really is a pleasure to be here. I'm really excited to be here and now begins the interrogation. For those who don't know, I'm Nathaniel Avery, the guitarist for Jack's Smirking Revenge. Yes, I'm the younger brother of the actor, Aren Avery. I know we don't even look alike! He looks more like my dad and I look more like my mom. People think I'm lying when I say that we're related but why would I lie about that? (laughs) Okay, off topic and now getting back on topic. I'm turning twenty-two this month. I'm a June baby. I'm big into photography. My landscape photography book comes out on the day before my birthday; the 19th. (whispers "buy ittt~") I enjoy long walks on the beach, watching sunsets, writing poetry by the fireplace, brunette women. (long pause) Kidding. Yup, that pretty much sums me up."
WHERE ARE YOU FROM, AND WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU TO BE PLAYING WITH SUCH A WELL KNOWN BAND? HOW DID YOU GET HERE?[/u]
"I'm a native of New York. Brooklyn, specifically and when I say Brooklyn; I literally mean the lowest of the low. Like, every time you stepped outside, you ran the risk of being shot or mugged. Don't laugh! I'm being serious. What? Can't imagine this pretty boy toughin' it out on the street? (grins) So, I was raised in this tiny hole in the wall apartment with my older brother, Aren by my wonderful mother and father, Sara and Winston Avery. We were happy little family, we still are. I'm such a Mama's boy. I'm always running back home every chance I get. Parents moved back there. Don't laugh! But enough about me! More about the the band. That's why we're here right? Being with the guys and Fee is a great part. We have so much fun, it isn't even funny and the people; oh the people. Fee, me and the rest of Jack's have met with a lot of our fans over the years. Each every single one of a story to tell and come from a lot of walks of life. A lot of them even look up to us. Like role models. Just that feeling of knowing you have influenced someone to go out and follow their dreams. I think that's what I believe is the best part of playing with the band. Oh and the ladies aren't too bad either. How did I get here? Good question. I met the guys and lady of Jack's when I moved out to Tempe five years ago with my family. I ran into Fee there at a local show. We started talking about how much we loved playing music and marital arts. Found out we went to the same high school and fight school and everything. We agreed to meet up for a jam sesh. The next day, we played for hours. I literally played my heart out, we became good friends and the rest is history."
IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE A NEW HAIRCUT EVERY TIME WE SEE YOU. WHY IS THIS AND WHAT INSPIRED THAT LATEST LOOK?[/u]
"Haha, yes. The hair. I never like to keep the same hairstyles or colors because it gets a little redundant after a while, y'know? I've always wanted to stand apart from the crowd. I don't like to blend in. So what better way to stand apart like an interesting cut and colors? It makes more of a statement than clothes do. I like to think out of the box and my stylist friend makes it possible. Oh, the latest cut? (runs hands through hair and laughs). This wasn't my idea. I actually, my good stylist friend came up with it. I really, really like it; even if it's pretty normal, compared to some of my older cuts."
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF RUMORS GOING AROUND ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE.[/u]
"That I have noticed. Lots of rumors. Let me start out by saying that I do not like men. I guess a lot of people took it out of context when I said I loved—I think our bassist? I love him like a brother. I love all the guys like my brothers-from-another-mother. I am as straight as straight can ever be. I like the ladies. All about the ladies. There's also been a lot of rumors that I'm dating Fee. I'm not. She's just a good friend. I am single. I have been for awhile now. Do I like being single? Sometimes. Other times? Not so much. Being on the roads and busy with gigs and recording so often doesn't make for good relationships. The girls I've dated aren't too fond of that. If you are? Call me."
WE KNOW THAT JACK'S SMILING REVENGE IS INTO MARTIAL ARTS. WHAT FIGHTING STYLES DO YOU FAVOR?[/u]
"Correct. I'm not sure if many people know this but our name is a reference to Fight Club. I took up two styles; both Korean martial arts actually. I got my roots by starting out with some Karate when I was just six years old but when I got older, I think like ten, I took up Tae Kwon Do with my brother, Aren. It's really my favorite style but nearing High School, I took up Hapkido as well to expand my knowledge. I'm currently a black belt in both of them and I still practice regularly. You might see me, the guys and Fee sparring once in a while on tour and stuff or compete in local tournaments when we have the chance."
WELL, WE'RE NEARING THE END OF OUR INTERVIEW! ANY OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND PARTING WORDS?
"Hm. Any other things that you guys don't know about me—um. Oh! I can actually sing. Not too sound conceded or anything but I sing very well but I don't sing with the band because well—I just don't like to sing for the world to hear. I sing for me and people close to me. The only people I can honestly say that have heard me sing is the band, my family and a handful of girlfriends. Sorry, guys, but you'll probably never hear me sing live. That's Fee's job. (smiles) Yay, interrogation is over! I'm kidding, my dear. Any last words? Stay in school, don't do drugs and please get your cats and dogs spayed and neutered!"
