Who you chose is totally up to you……I just want to say I hope you go to the polls tomorrow and do your part in choosing who will be this countrys next leader.

VH1 to air live NKOTB special Sept. 28th 2008

VH1 has announced plans to air a new 90-minute live special called "New Kids on the Block: A Behind The Music Special Event" later this month.

The program, featuring all five original members of the recently reunited 1990s boy band, is to premiere Sept. 28.

"The New Kids On The Block generated tremendous passion and loyalty around the world the minute that their first song and video debuted. That excitement has quickly rekindled as the band embarks on a giant reunion tour in support of a highly anticipated new album," VH1's Executive Vice President of Original Programming & Production Jeff Olde said in a statement. "This special 'Behind The Music' event allows us to re-imagine a beloved, award-winning franchise in an entirely new way. We not only bring the storytelling full circle ... but we pay it off with a live music event featuring a group our audience loves."

Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, and Jordan and Jonathan Knight recently reunited to record the new album "The Block," which hit stores last week. - Story from upi.com

Joe Checks In From Toronto - nkotb.com blog post

10:15 pm Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008 from nkotb.com

I’m sitting in section 120 row 14 seat 10 at the arena in Toronto. I’m the only one in the stands as I watch the stage being put together for a New Kids on the Block concert. Wow. I see it slowly coming together. Light rigs being strung up. They just rolled out the floor for the stage. Just now, the first flash as they test the massive light rig. One of the toughest things of being a part of amazing productions and shows and performances is that sometimes you feel like it went too fast, like you didn’t quite enjoy it as much as you could have. So help me God, I will drink this up. A wonderful life, a beautiful wife, a son. And a world tour with 4 guys that go beyond any description that could explain the connection I have with them. And the people that have made this new journey possible… You. So help me God, I’m gon’ drink this up.

THE BLOCK'S BIG DEBUT!

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
THE BLOCK
DEBUTS AS #1 POP ALBUM

THEIR FIRST NEW MUSIC IN ALMOST 15 YEARS DEBUTS AT #2 OVERALL
ON BILLBOARD TOP 200

(New York, NY) – Pop supergroup, New Kids on the Block, make their comeback debut as the #1 Pop Album in the country with The Block, their first album together in almost 15 years. Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Jordan and Jonathan Knight, who as a group have sold over 80 million albums worldwide, are now back at the top of Billboard’s coveted Top 200 Chart at #2 overall.


After huge performances on “The Today Show” and “The View” and rave reviews from People Magazine and the LA Times, the group officially secured their place at the Top of Pop with their remarkable ranks as #1 Pop Album and #2 Album overall.


The reunion of all five members of the famed 90s group continues to ignite fan frenzies nationwide. Loyal fans turned up in droves from all over to follow the group across the country on their album promo tour. The group was enthusiastically embraced by large crowds of screaming fans at all performances, interviews and signings. Throngs of fans in Boston lined up for nearly three days, braving harsh weather, just to see the guys for their hometown signing. A phenomenal fan base has always been one of the cornerstones of the group’s success.


The Deluxe Edition of the album holds the #1 spot on iTunes Album Pop Charts and #5 on the iTunes overall chart with their new single, “Single” featuring Ne-Yo already jumping into the top forty on the iTunes Pop Singles Chart. “Single” officially debuted at #140 on Billboard Singles Chart with a 114% sales increase from last week. The group’s first single, the hit mellow jam “Summertime,” is a top 20 single that has sold over half a million copies. The New Kids on the Block Greatest Hits album saw a 98% increase in sales this week as well.


The album also features collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music, including, “Grown Man” (with The Pussycat Dolls and uber-producer Teddy Riley), “Put It on My Tab” (with Akon), “Big Girl Now” (with NY dance-pop diva Lady GaGa) and the much-buzzed about “Full Service” (with fellow supergroup New Edition).


The group will further support their album with a World Tour that kicks off in Toronto on September 18, 2008. The tour is being produced by Live Nation.


Fans are encouraged to sign up for more information at www. nkotb. com.
The band has also teamed with I Love All Access to provide a variety of VIP ticket packages for the tour, including premium seats, meet and greets, photo ops, parties and more.

Sad News: http://xat.com/knightsandwich Amythyst was banned by Daisy

The chat room that me and Destiny had met some cool friends at http://xat.com/knightsandwich banned Destiny today... with no real reason from the user Daisy. :( Then for no reason they banned me (Grimpuppy) just because I am with her. She was just having fun as usual and then they just banned her... they really need to change the message that stats below "DO NOT behave" to "talk only about what we want you to". This was a great chat but Destiny is on some new meds and was not her normal self and after the ban they began to talk about her in a not so nice way! NKOTB I know you read this blog so I hope you can let everybody know that there is much better ways to go about this then the quick ban and the bad mouthing after she had left... and I guess the support between NKOTB fans is not as strong as I thought. This would never happen in a chat of my fav band. - Grimpuppy

Danny and Germany!

Hi everyone,
We are back from Germany and it was amazing. Through out this experience I never know what to expect. The German fans are more than ready for THE BLOCK just like everyone here and in Canada. The support was unbelievable and it was awesome. Every where we went people where there to support us. We are looking forward to the European tour next year.
I want to rundown our week for you so maybe you will get an idea of what it was like.
We arrived Monday July 7th to Germany. We took the day to recuperate from jet lag, see the movie set, and have a fitting for our crazy medieval outfits.
Tuesday we filmed, as ourselves in medieval times, with the amazing German director/actor Til Schweiger. It was a fun day aside from the black soot we all inhaled during the filming. After we finished we where blowing out black boogers. There where flames being blown thru the air through out our performance. It was a pleasure working with Til and we look forward to the release of the movie in December.
Wednesday was the big international press conference. It was amazing to see over 200 European journalists in the room. I always feel like we are just those 5 guys from Boston and how did we end up here. It was a very humbling experience. The rest of the day was spent doing tons of European press and we didn’t finish until nighttime.
Thursday and Friday NKOTB was split into 2 groups so we could cover more ground. We went to Frankfurt, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, Kiel, Hannover, Magdeburg and then all got back together in Berlin. We visited radio stations, TV stations, did print interviews and Internet outlets. It was great and felt really good to be so productive.
I need to personally thank Sven Kilthau-Lander, Jurgen Grebner, and the whole Universal Records staff for the amazing job they did in Germany. We are looking forward to all our future endeavors in Europe.
We are back in L.A. for tour rehearsals. September 18th is coming soon and we are so excited.

Love Danny

NEW BLOG from DONNIE!

Hey all!

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post but we have been rehearsing so hard to get ready for the Today Show, Zootopia, and the Kiss Concert. We were doing six to eight hours a day of dance rehearsal, band rehearsal, working out, oh yeah did I mention in between we found time to shoot a video, cut six or seven more songs for the album, and do endless radio interviews to promote our single Summertime?! Now that the shows are finished, it’s really the first time I can catch a quick breath in weeks! Looking back on all the shows, I’d have to say that overall things went pretty freak’n awesome!!!!!!! I am so happy to finally be able to perform for the fans…It’s really the best way to repay all of you for all of the love you show us. The turn out at the Today Show was unbelievable, Zootopia was insane, and performing in our hometown at the Kiss Concert was one of the greatest times of my life!! Today I’m going to finish editing the video for Summertime before I head to the studio with Joey and Jordan to cut a new song. I can’t wait for you guys to see the video, it’s a lot of fun. Thanks again for all you do for us, seeing you at the shows, autograph signings, or even meeting you in the streets is really the best part of all of this. I feed off of your energy and I can’t wait to hit the road.

Much Love,
Donnie

P.S. Almost every time I meet one of you guys, you say thank you to me for coming back…all I can think to say in return is thank you more. I’m so grateful to all of you. I promise to do all I can to make this a great experience for all of our fans.
