Gereifte Boybands: New Kids on the Block und Backstreet Boys gehen gemeinsam auf Tour.

Erst stürmten die neuen Kids den Block, knapp zehn Jahre später übernahmen die Jungs vom Hinterhof das Kommando. Nun sind die Boybands zu NKOTBSB fusioniert. Im Interview erzählen Howie Dorough (38, Backstreet Boys) und Joey McIntyre (39, New Kids on the Block) von Gemeinsamkeiten, Unterschieden und Tourneen im fortgeschrittenen Alter.

Vor 20 Jahren kamen eure jungen Fans mit ihren Müttern zu den Konzerten. Sind die als Großmütter heute noch dabei?

Joey: Ja, ziemlich oft sogar. Viele haben von damals noch eine Verbindung zu uns, auch wenn sie nur ihre Kinder fahren mussten. Manchmal frage ich noch im Publikum nach, ob die Töchter bei diesem Besuch wenigstens das Ticket bezahlt haben (lacht).

Boybands may be big news at the moment but One Direction and The Wanted have a long way to go before they reach the heights achieved by Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block way back in the 1990’s.

Having reformed for the hugely popular NKOTBSB world tour, we decided to chat with Joey Macintyre (NKOTB) and Howie Dorough (Backstreet Boys) ahead of their recent London shows.

[ JORDAN ] Stuff Magazine Boston: Get Close with … Jordan Knight

Leave a comment

It’s been a while since his Teen Beat pinup days, but Jordan Knight still elicits decibel-defying squeals from female fans. At least, that was the case when we caught up with the surprisingly still-swoon-worthy singer when he performed at the Estate during Dancing for Hope, a fundraiser for St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children. Next month, he leaves for a tour of Europe, Asia, and Australia with NKOTBSB, the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys über-group — but not before a final stop on his solo Live and Unfinished Tour, which will hit Showcase Live (23 Patriot Place, Foxborough, 508.543.0609) on Sunday, April 1. Expect songs from his most recent album, Unfinished, plus the requisite dose of oldies. For tickets ($35), visit ticketweb.com.

How’d you get involved with the St. Mary’s event?
My wife is on the board. It’s close to our heart because we both grew up in Dorchester. St. Mary’s used to be St. Margaret’s Hospital. . . . I’d go there when I was little with Donnie [Wahlberg]. His mom worked there, and we’d go to get lunch money or money for the corner store or subway. My wife asked me to perform last year, and I told her, “No, I really have no repertoire right now.” Now I’m on the road doing my thing, so she told me this year I have no excuse. I said, “Well, who’s going to pay for the sound system and everything?” She said, “You are! ‘Cause it’s for charity! So get your butt up on stage and sing!” “Okay, okay. I got you!” [Laughs] But it’s a great cause. We grew up in Dorchester and know how hard it can be. Some people have it rough in life, and all they need is a helping hand.

[ NKOTBSB ] NKOTBSB interview: ‘One Direction need good songs for success’

Leave a comment

With boybands fully re-instated in the pop charts, it’s never been a better time to take a trip down memory lane and remind yourself where it all began.

Following their highly successful North American tour last year, pop group pioneers New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys will offer UK fans the chance to catch their classic back catalogue of nostalgic ’80s and ’90s pop anthems.

Digital Spy caught up with NKOTB’s Joey McIntyre and BSB’s Howie Dorough to chat about the new generation of boybands, plans for future albums and whether they’d be up for a guest spot in Glee.

Congratulations on the success of the North American tour last year – how have you found the merge?
Joey: “It’s been great, we’ve hit it off pretty much from the get go and we get along great and that makes it all worthwhile. But then on the professional side we just wanted to make a great show and the two groups feed off of each other. It comes from a pure entertainment perspective. It’s fun to rock and to listen to music, but it’s much more interactive.”
