Hey All,

This blog is mostly to the LA/West Coast fans but, since a lot of you are so CRAAAAAAAZZZZZYYYYYY and are coming to many shows around the country, I figured I better write this to all of you….

The LA Clippers have asked us to switch out our second Staples show to The Nokia Theater across the street. Same date. Same night. Same time. Pretty much the same amount of seats. Same parking structures. So no big deal…. Right?

Or is it…..?

Now being Celtics fans we are not in the business of helping out other NBA teams… But since the Cetlics won the Championship… We do feel a bit of pity for the rest of the NBA.

That said…. we have agreed to let them have the date.

The negative…..?

Can’t see any.

The positive….?

The Nokia Theater is a much more intimate venue for us to play in for the final stop on our US part of the tour. This and will give us a chance to finish in an environment that is much closer to all of you!!!!!!

In fact… It is more FACE TIME friendly!!!!!

And you know how I feel about face time!!!!!!!!

Either way….

Nobody can stop the party that is gonna reign down on LA on Thanksgiving eve… no matter if we gotta play in a high school gym!!!

It is gonna be OUR night TOGETHER!!!

Judging from all of your comments….

I am not gonna get any sleep on this tour….

And guess what….

I don’t want any sleep!!!!

I’m coming for you!!!!

Much Love-

Donnie W

Hey All….

What’s good?!?!?!

I wanna talk music for a second…

Summertime was a special song from us to you….

Thank you for embracing it with such love.

It means the world to us.

THAT SAID….

Summertime was only an invitation…

An invitation to all of you…

An invitation to the party…

THE PARTY THAT STARTS NOW!!!!

Our new “SINGLE” featuring NE-YO is coming to radio as you read this!

If you haven’t heard it…. WATCH OUT!!!!

If you haven’t heard it… FIND IT!!!

Turn your radios ON!!!!

Get on the web!!!!

It’s time to raise the bar.

And guess what….

This is only the begining!!!

Our album is done!

Complete!!!

Ready for all of your ears!!!!

We are so proud of it!

We want to make you all proud too!!!

I hope you are ready for it….

PS- No MJ or Madonna duets…. Sorry.

However… I am sure that you will agree that NE-YO, AKON, NEW EDITION, PUSSY CAT DOLLS, POLOW DA DON, and LADY GAGA (who killed on So You Think You Can Dance Last Night) will be more than adequate!!!!

Ok, Los Angeles is officially a crazy place! I just went through my first earthquake. Makes me want to get out on tour all the more. Seems really strange to me that ten minutes after it ended life continued as normal for these people. I think ill park my car on the street from now on and not in the underground garage. I never get to rehearsal on time but believe me I couldn’t wait to leave my apartment this morning.

Tuesday morning here in LA. Heading off to rehearsal in a few minutes. Just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone that was able to attend our event this past weekend in LA. It was a great pleasure to meet so many people from all around the country and hear your questions. It was also a pleasure to see your reactions to our new music! The new album is something we are really proud of and will be our honor to share it with the world.
It has been the best of times in rehearsal with the guys everyday. I wish you all could be flies on the wall. I forgot what a bunch of comedians they are. I couldn’t have a better bunch of guys to be working with! The album cover artwork will be arriving today at the studio. Cant wait to see the final product!!!! See you all real soon! September 18th is approaching fast!

All the best,

Jonathan

Whats Good All??

Hope all is well.

Gotta say….

Our album is coming out great!!!

(At least in my humble opinion…….)

On a side note…

While I enjoy any hype for our album….

And while I also (sometimes) enjoy the audacity of people writing blatantly fabricated “news” articles…

We are NOT recording with Michael Jackson and/or Madonna.

We never claimed to be either.

Good fun reading about though!

Sorry to let ya down…. Or not.

Anyway….

Can’t wait til you all hear who we did do some collabo’s with!!!!

Ha!

GET READY….. WE’RE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much Love-

Donnie W

PS- WE ARE COMING!  YA HEARD ME?

Yo!

A little somethin’ somethin’ from rehearsals. Things are slowly
speeding up ( I think that’s an oxymoron).
Excited about meeting the fans who are flying in to see a sneak peek
rehearsal. We think it’ll be good for us. Make us stay on point :)
I think we are gonna have a lot of laughs!!
I’m sure the rest of the guys will fill you in on all the shananigans.
Gotta get back to practice!

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

“Alle funf!!!!”
Means “all 5″ in German.
That’s all I can say in German so far.
We had a blast… a lot of work but having our fans show up
everywhere we go made it a lot easier.

The schnitzel was on point. And we couldn’t believe how tall
everyone was- men and women. Damn! I felt like Ryan Seacrest over there.

So its back to rehearsal and putting together the greatest show on earth
by the “5 hardest working kids in show business”.

Let’s get this!

xoxo

Hey All-

Here in Germany!
Fans are awesome!
Weather is cold!
Album almost done!

Tour approaching fast!
Second “SINGLE” not far away!!
(But keep pushing Summertime at your favorite stations til then).

We shot a cameo in a movie by Til Scweiger, who is a huge star here, and it was really funny!

I hope you get to see it someday.  Til is the biggest and best of Germany and he is a hell of a nice guy to do this with us!

Oh yeah- if you doubt my word…

Ask the fans here in Germany!  They can’t get rid of me!  In fact, they can’t get rid of any of us!!!
Good times!

Much Love,

Hello to you all! Standing in line at the Long Beach Airport getting ready to jump on a plane to Boston. Going home for the 4th of July to spend time with my family, see my dog, ride the horses, and play in the dirt on my tractor!! Haven’t been home for a while so looking forward to seeing everyone. My youngest niece’s and nephew’s have grown so much in the past few months. Can’t wait to see them walking and talking. Had a one word conversation with my niece the other day and she actually said hi! It brought a tear to my eye. I wish I could bring  them back to Los Angeles. Heading out to Germany on Saturday. We have an extremely busy schedule while we are there. Not looking forward to the jet lag! Our first show is approaching fast. I’m still waiting to be awakened from this awesome dream. Somebody please pinch me so I know this is really happening! Can you believe this?!! See you soon.

Jonathan
