Live and Kicking

Hi guys, it's Ashley from O-Town here! I'm so excited to be heading up our brand-new column which is exclusive to you L&K readers. Okay, so let's fill you in with what we've been up to since the series Making the Band finished.

After months of rehearsals, recordings and trying to get a deal, we thought that was the toughest we'd have to face-but boy we were wrong! The hard work is only just beginning. It's been a real roller coaster ride but we're enjoying every minute if it!

Straight after signing our record deal we decided it was time to get out and perform to our fans. And we sure did-all over the US! And we've been blown away by the welcome we've had. One of the highlights of the tour was in Boston. We performed a special version of LFO's Girl of TV and Rich Cronin from LFO got up on stage and rapped with us! Boston is Rich's home town so it was a really special night for us as well as the fans. And before you think we've started hanging out with showbiz friends I suppose II should tell you that Rich's brother is our manager!

At the moment we're in New York filming the video for our next single. It's going to be loads of fun-we just get to hang out and enjoy ourselves and let the camera men do their work! At least that how we're hoping things will go!

We can't wait to get to the UK and meet all our British fans. We've been hearing some seriously exciting news about how you guys are requesting our video on MTV and The Box. So we're coming over to the UK in April (we're probably already there by the time you read this!) to make sure everyone has heard our single Liquid Dreams which is released on April 16th. So watch out for us-we'll be watching out for you!

Straight after our UK trip we're ff to Europe for a few days then back to the States for the premiere of the second series of Making the Band. Don't worry, that'll be hitting your screens soon too. And we promise there will be some great gossip on the band for you!

SEE YOU SOON!

LOVE

ASHLEY
