New Kids On The Block and the Backstreet Boys continue to make history as the longest running boy bands keep on surprising their fans with new projects and tours that keep us all excited and wanting more. This time two of the guys from each group decided to step away from their band mates to join forces as a duo for a new project. That new duo is called, “Nick And Knight,” and if you know anything about New Kids or Backstreet, you know that means that Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, and Jordan Knight from New Kids On The Block have combined their talents to create a new album and new sound! Both Nick and Jordan hit the streets of New York City on Wednesday to start to spread the word.
They began things with a special appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America, followed by a sit down with Wendy Williams on her syndicated, The Wendy Williams Show. They announce that their new collaboration “Nick And Knight” would involve the release of a full-length album of new original songs, and a tour to go with it. The album will be released on September 2nd, with the 39-city tour to follow on September 15th. The tour begins in Nashville, and ending on November 22nd in Calgary in Alberta Canada. You can see the complete list of tour dates below. Be sure to also check out Nick and Knight’s brand new single, “Just The Two Of Us”, which you can get as a free MP3 download when pre-ordering the new album exclusively at nickandknight.com!
This big announcement comes shortly after the news in March of the Backstreet Boys adding more dates to their successful, In A World Like This Tour for this summer with Avril Lavigne. With all that going on plus Nick Carter’s recent marriage to his long time girlfriend, Laren Kitt, its hard to believe he even had the time to make this extra music with Jordan! Jordan is not taking it too easy these days either. His Blockhead fans will soon be able to see him and the rest of the members of New Kids On The Block on their new 8 episode reality series, Rock This Boat: NKOTB on TVGN. As if that wasn’t enough, you may remember back in March we also reported that New Kids On The Block will be enjoying their only 4 shows as a group in the USA as part of a Las Vegas residency, NKOTB After Dark, from July 10th-July 14th this summer at Axis Theatre in Planet Hollywood.
As you can see there are a lot of big things going on for both the New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys, which makes this Nick An Knight side project that much more interesting,. Who knows what other surprises these two boy bands turned friends have in store for us? It is particularly exciting for us here at Clizbeats.com, because Nick Carter has been a very supportive featured artist since his career spanning “tell all” interview with us in 2011. That interview was eventually followed by another one of our favorite interviews with Jordan Knight in 2013. In that interview Jordan went above and beyond when giving us all the details. We talked about everything NKOTB, and even Backstreet Boys and Robin Thicke! The music industry is a very small world sometimes! If you haven’t heard any of our interviews with either Nick Carter or Jordan Knight, you can find them embedded below, along with all things Nick and Knight!
