New (Old) Kids On The Block Sell Out Casino Rama

Before Justin Bieber, before The Backstreet Boys, before 'N Sync, and to a much lesser extent before 98 Degrees there was the New Kids On The Block -- or NKOTB if you're a pathetic human being.

They ruled the eardrums of tween girls in the 1980s and early 1990s before their ears grew up and realized that "Hangin' Tough" wasn't the second coming of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

But amazingly it looks like they still have a fanbase.

The Kids, who are back together and touring across North America, performed the first of two shows at Ontario's Casino Rama before a sold out crowd of rabid fans. We can only imagine how old these "rapid" fans were, and we can only imagine how annoying it must be playing blackjack only to hear "Step By Step" and high-pitched screaming in the distance.

“It feels good to be back north of the border again,” Donnie Wahlberg said.

The Kids sang everything from the two classics mentioned above to "Right Stuff", "Lights Camera Action", and their recent semi-hit with Ne-Yo "Single".

So if you're looking to hear "Favorite Girl" while playing some slots there's no better place right now than Casino Rama.
