The BBMAK Base

Have BBMak Over For Thanksgiving

By Jim Keller for CDNOW.COM The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade seems to be the place to be Nov. 23. Riding atop various floats will be pop acts BBMak, Aaron Carter, the Corrs, Jessica Simpson, Mikaila, and Innosense; country stars Jo Dee Messina, Kenny Chesney, Sara Evans, and Jennifer Day; Latin artist Tito Puente Jr.; and Broadway star Andrea McArdle and the casts of The Music Man and Seussical the Musical. For those who can't make it to New York to watch the event live, it is scheduled to air on NBC on Thanksgiving Day starting at 9 a.m. in all time zones.

BBMak Rocks Out On Halloween

From SEVENTEEN.COM The lucky fans at New York City's Irving Plaza last night got more than their fair share of treats when BBMak rocked the stage for Halloween. Arriving in monster masks (thank goodness they didn't leave them on long!), adorable Brits Mark, Christian and Ste totally pumped up the crowds with songs from their album, Sooner or Later. The clean-cut, dimpled cuties wore jeans (shy Ste had on a sexy cowboy hat) and strummed their guitars, but were far from boring as they got the whole audience to sing their hit "Back Here Baby." Their amazing live sound was particularly clear as they harmonized on "More Than Words," an Extreme song from the early '90s. Among other tunes, the trio also played their new single, "Still On Your Side" (that they said they just made a video for; look for MTV's Making the Video in late November). The concert took an unpredictable turn when Mark whipped out his bagpipes for a musical interlude, and Christian and Ste -- who often joke that unlike BSB, they can't dance at all -- started jamming toward each other a la Riverdance. Mark also got to play his "shiny flute" for everyone. After the encore, the festive boys flashed their 1000-watt smiles one last time and threw handfuls of candy into the crowd. As if their performance wasn't sweet enough! Back To News Back Home
