Could there be a bleaker artistic existence than to be a band member of the Ordinary Boys right now ? They might have been grateful for being saved a trip to Brighton's JobCentrePlus by singer Preston's successful turn on Celebrity Big Brother. They might have been uneasy at the gradual shift away from their vaguely mod-ish roots to appease their new teenybopper audience. But surely they've hit rock bottom as they find themselves in the ignominious position of being relegated to backing band in their new moniker - Preston & The Ordinary Boys.
It's not 100% official yet. I first heard the new name on Capital Radio as their latest execrable effort "I Luv U" was being aired. On the website they've snuck it into a few very recent news releases but as of yet it's not up in lights. But I guess it's been decided that it's necessary to signpost that yes it is "Preston and his band" to the gormless numbties seduced by the tediously contrived Preston and Chantelle love story.
Anyway, anonymous members of The Ordinary Boys, you surely know it's just a deferred stay of execution for you. The music's shitter than ever and in the artistic veer towards the mainstream who needs a full-time band ? I predict by August we'll be seeing the debut of Preston & Chantelle. And what better vehicle than the Children in Need 2007 charity single ?
Blogmarch got it all sussed.
