A thread to celebrate the Big Fun's, Scooch's and Kavana's of this world. Gone but not forgotten.

Can someone post a picture of those ABC Afterschool bands? From those teen comedies set in California? California Sunshine? Anyways, my vote is for the band in 'Welcome to the Dollhouse'.

Bad Boys Inc.... now found waiting tables in gay restaurants all over Soho.

Westlife have to take this thread, though. Has there ever been an uglier boy band?

the late great Boom! who had a great single with fallin' in, jan 01 i think. one of them went on to replace mark s fave kim in hear'say. they were never heard of again.

but the single was a lost pop/ukgarage hybrid in the same vein as sweet female attitudes flowers (except a bit more on the pop side than on the garage side, ok it had a some garagey beats tacked on, but i dont care it was GREAT!)

and who did that 'Last One Standing' track - Girl Thing was it?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 March 2003 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Faith Hope and Charity (Dani Behr's woeful first glimpse of celebrity)

...that Boom photo - the guy in the back looks like a cross between Sol from Hollyoaks and Will Mellor. Probably for sale somewhere in Earls Court as I write.....

Anyone remember 2wo Third3? Lee, one of my best mates from back home was the lead singer..... he was spotted dancing in Heavenby some fella who gave him his card and asked if he could sing. "Of course I can sing, I'm fucking Welsh" washis answer. He couldn't. But he got the job. Good old Tom Watkins, eh...?

VIP, don't know where to begin looking for a photo, since it's such a common assembly of letters, but they were Canada's first of the post-BSB-wave of boy bands and BOY were they UGLY!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 24 March 2003 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I want the world and I want it right now....thats 2wo Third3 yah?

I can't find a picture of Thunderbugs

― j0e (j0e), Monday, 24 March 2003 16:28 (twenty-three years ago)

my fave. from the josie+the pussycats movie, boy band du jour.

That Vanilla record looks awesome

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Monday, 24 March 2003 16:49 (twenty-three years ago)

stevem - that's the ones.
Looked a bit Clockwork Orange - for a boyband they actually looked pretty good.
...they had some great remixers work with them, too. D.O.P. included (how fab were DOP?). They also had Helen Terry on backing vocals.

Not a boy band? Well, sort of anyway... At least they were just as manufactured as Backstreet Boys and Westlife are. :-)

this thread is severely lacking in hot Hepburn action

just for some CanCon. Sugar Jones even had a token Quebecoise, didn't they?

I remember BBmak's song being all about oral sex.. "I'll get down on you if you get down on me" "I'm gonna make you come.... overtomyhouse!" A classic.
