I MISS THE NINETIES

So this is the New Year. And it’s 1994, right? Oh.

Here’s a lo-fidelity look at the FINALLY FINISHED video for I Miss The Nineties (out through Office Rock on March 14 on cd, download, cassette, DVD and VHS). Hope you like it (and that it works). I can’t begin to tell you how grateful we are for your support these last twelve months. We promise to do our best to pay you back in 2011.

COMPETITION!

How many 1990s things can you spot in the video? Send us your list here. The person with the longest list on March the 14th (when the record comes out, remember?) wins free entry into every single Winter Olympics show for a year.

We appreciate that, at present, that doesn’t sound like much of a prize, but hell, who knows? If we get booked for Glastonbury, you’re going to be in the money, and we’re going to seriously regret our soppy blogging at two o’clock in the morning on New Year’s Day.

Happy New Year, everyone.

love you loads

BACKSTREETS: BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL Hi everyone, what are you giving up for New Year? Us? Hope. Only joking. No New Year’s resolutions here, we’re saving our energy for a New Year’s REVOLUTION at The Backstreets Back to School special at the breath-takingly brilliant Brixton Windmill on Friday 7 January 2011. Now, I can hear you grumbling from here. “But Wag, why on Earth would we want to go out in January? It’s cold, and we’re supposed to be being good”. Well, we’re all supposed to be being good, and that’s why the Back to School special is always one of the best nights out that four pounds can buy you. You’ve been back at work for a week and everything’s terrible. Time to give up giving up and start getting going… We’re very lucky this year because we absolutely love all of The Back to School class of 2011. As well as us, your favourite Backstreets boys, the night is headlined by the righteously rocking Priscillas and sees sets from boisterous Brighton-ites Deadbeat Descendant, our excellent pals the devastating Damn Vandals and the nearly popular Backstreets’ drunken djs. You can buy tickets for £4 in advance from wegottickets. Hurry up, there’s only limited numbers left! Here’s the Facebook page for the show. Tell us you’re coming! Perfect!
