Posted July 19, 200619 yr MTV's "super boyband" members announced Wednesday, July 19 2006, 12:40 BST - by Neil Wilkes Five former boyband members have come together to form a new "ultimate boyband" with the hopes of staging a triumphant return to the charts. The group is being put together for a new TV series, Totally Boyband, which airs on MTV from September 17. The hopefuls in the as-yet untitled five-piece are Another Level's Dane Bowers, age 26; Jimmy Constable of 911, 34; Steps star Lee Latchford Evans, 31; S Club 7's Bradley McIntosh, 24; and 37-year-old Danny Wood of pioneering boyband New Kids On The Block. The band, who will be managed by Charlotte Church's mentor Jonathan Shalit, met for the first time at a press conference this morning. All claimed to be excited at the prospect of staging a comeback, although Wood was more realistic about their chances. "If it doesn't work out I can just go home," he said, having admitted that he had "no idea" who his new bandmates were. Cameras will now follow the boys as they write and record their first single, due for release on October 23. So this is going to be the follow up to Totally Scott-Lee?
July 19, 200619 yr Author Virgin.net Music news Pop rejects return! Five former boyband members have united for a second shot at fame. Dane Bowers from Another Level, Lee Latchford-Evans from Steps, Bradley McIntosh from S Club 7, Jimmy Constable from 911 and Danny Wood from New Kids On The Block are hoping to resurrect their music careers. The pop has-beens were brought together by MTV for new reality show Totally Boyband. The series will follow their attempts to make a chart comeback. Between them they have sold 87 million records, had 11 number one hits and 40 top ten singles. Jimmy said: "Everybody has learned a lot about the music business so we all know what we are facing. "Hopefully we will have some great songs, some hit singles and some fun along the way." Danny is the eldest of the group at 37. Youngest is Bradley at a mere 24. Dane is confident the project will succeed. "I don't see how it can turn out to be embarrassing for us because we're just doing what we do," he said. In their heyday, the five were greeted by screaming fans around the globe. But now they struggle to be recognised - even by each other. Their identities had been kept secret from one another until Wednesday when they met at a press conference in central London. Danny, the only American in the line-up, admitted he had never heard of the other four. "Until today I didn't know who was going to be in the band. "I still don't really know," he said, looking at the others with an expression of bemusement. The show - tagline "They had it.... They lost it.... They want it back!" - begins on MTV on September 17. Their first single will be released on October 23. The band, who have yet to decide a name, will be managed by Jonathan Shalit - the man who masterminded the careers of Charlotte Church and Jamelia.
