Band of boys

Following on from the what did they do after the boyband here are the three Bass brothers Nathan, Mark and Keiran (I don't Calvin Goldspink here) who formed Next of Kin in the 1990s.

They had one hit called 24 hours then another single where they tried Nathan out in a tight sleeveless T shirt to look cuter than he already was. Sadly the single flopped and they went to Tenerife to work on a new album ad were not heard from again.

This was even more sad because Bill wanted to do some really naughty things to Nathan.

Moving to the present we have two wanabee boybands.

V are trying to be a 5ive/Blazin Squad gestalt and failing dismally. Yes they are cute but not enough.

Aaron is so camp I really hope he's gay for his sake, Kevin is supposed to be the 'hard man' like J was in 5ive but isn't that convincing (crew cuts do not a thug make), Mark looks a tad like Andy Scott Lee (ohhhh Andyyy), and the remaining two Leon and Antony make so little impression I can't even be bothered to take the you know what, save Leon likes Michael Moore so he doesn't need my help.

Their website (as it's hard to find as V is a silly name as it pulls up nothing in Google.

Finally we have Boysterous (such clever word play) who have yet to make the top 40. They've put in the effort (ie got their kits off) but (L to R) Mike, Chris, Mitch (nice of them to let their uncle join) and Gary (are people still abusing their kids by calling them Gary?) are still getting nowhere. I suspect they haven't figured out that the boyband rule about having one ugly chap (so the boyfriends of the screaming girlies feel better) does not apply to half the band.

Perhaps they can play with Will Young's ball.
