So I know that we usually don't cover boy bands here at Triangle Music, but my second-grade nostalgia is kicking in on this one.New Kids on the Block is back! The "kids," who are now pushing 40, are back in the studio working on a new album and preparing for a fall tour.
All five members of the group were on the Today show this morning, and their interview with Natalie Morales was barely audible over all the shrieks of the 20- and 30-somethings in the crowd.
So what would a NKOTB show be like in 2008, TWENTY YEARS (God I feel old) after Hangin' Tough was released?
“Our old songs aren’t necessarily standards — they were pretty sweet — but it’s going to be fun in a live show. People come to hear that music, so we’re going to sing it with basically the same sound. We’re not doing a reggae version of our three biggest hits because when I see that, it pisses me off. Even I’m like `Spare me.’ We have something like ten top ten hits, which is amazing. So if we do those and five new songs, we’ll have a hell of a show. We will give the people what they want to hear." — Donnie Wahlberg
So who else is gonna be excited with me on this one?? Personally, I'm crossing my fingers that this tour hits the RBC center, but I'll shamelessly admit I'm willing to travel for this one.

Jim told me about this this morning and asked if I would go. I could not answer right away. My first instinct is to say no, but then, I remember how much I begged my parents for NKOTB tix when I was a little kid without success . . .
They better play some of their original hits in concert or I will be sorely disappointed!
WOW! OMG!! I can't wait to see New Kids On The Block in their Reunion Concerts! NKOTB has always been one of my most favorite bands! They are soooo cute!
