New Kids on the Block have plans for 2008
If you can make it through that headline without laughing, I’ll give you ten dollars. Yes, it’s true, the boy band to end all boy bands is back. Donnie Wahlberg, last seen falling to his death in the 2006 horror film Dead Silence, is returning with his Kids, who are all turning forty in the next few years or so (if they haven’t already). While the group came together last week on the Today Show, plans for the Kids’ in 2008 are all the buzz this week.
The now-thirtysomething boy band was bombarded by rain-soaked women dressed like teens (many with their actual teenage daughters) as the group announced a new album (due this summer) and a fall tour. “It was music that brought us back [together],” said Donnie Wahlberg, who for the last decade has followed his brother Mark into acting. “We really weren’t going to announce this yet, but a story leaked … and we said we better come out and let [the fans] know that it’s official.”
As for the tour? It will be “action-packed,” said Jordan Knight, who saw minor solo success with his 1999 single “Give It to You.” “We got some moves,” Wahlberg reassured the crowd pressed against the barricades, sending them into hysteria with just a wink.
Well, it’s no Led Zeppelin, but at least one group is managing to get their act together, literally and metaphorically. It seems like some people are already losing their shit over this. The big question still remains, however. Does anyone still have their acid washed jeans? I didn’t think so. Looks like a trip to the thrift store this weekend.
Keep an eye out May 16th, when the Kids debut live on the Today Show… again.
