Totally Boyband
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Totally Boyband was a television program that aired in the United Kingdom on MTV. The program debuted on 18 September 2006 and aired on Sunday nights at 21:30 (GMT).
The premise centred around the former members of boy bands and pop music bands attempting to regain their former fame by regrouping into a new band called Upper Street. A single called The One was released on 23 October 2006, but spent only one week at #35 after entering the UK Singles Chart on 29 October.
The participants were:
- Danny Wood of New Kids on the Block
- Dane Bowers of Another Level
- Jimmy Constable of 911
- Bradley McIntosh of S Club 7
- Lee Latchford-Evans of Steps
The single was later recorded without the help of Latchford-Evans, who was sacked by the rest of the band before their debut release due to a disagreement. He described the bands manager in the program, Jonathan Shalit as "two-faced".[1]
It was announced in October 2006 that US music network VH1 would be producing its own version of the show, titled Man Band with Bryan Abrams (Color Me Badd), Rich Cronin (LFO), Chris Kirkpatrick (*NSYNC) and Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees).[2]
