Just a bit of explination. The Edge radio station (in NZ) did a competion for New Zealand's very first boy band. Thousands of people entered over the coming month, and it was narrowed down to five people, one for each boy band role: Hot Boy, Mommy's Boy, Bad Boy, Fat Boy and Gay Boy. The main slogan was "The next No.1 single... maybe." Once the band was formed, over the weekend listeners were able to choose a name for the band, with the most common one being the new name for the band. The winning name was...


...Boy Band. Good thing, too! Now, they've got a single recorded based on an old song called "You really got Me" (which is going to be released on Monday), with another to follow later on. Currently they're going up the country on their farewell tour. The video for "You Really got Me" is available on YouTube, and it's actually the #7 most veiwed video at the moment! Just wanted to give a bit of music news...

"You really got me"?? As in The Kinks? Later covered by Van Halen, amongst others?

To be given the boy band treatment??

Go to you tube to find out if it's true. Never heard of any of the other versions, but yeah. Don't worry, this is all for a good laugh, and they're doing their farewell tour now!

If you want to know more about The Kinks, there's a Kinks vs. Beatles poll around here somewhere...
