O2’S RELEASE DATE FINDS O-TOWN OH TOO BUSY – by Charmaine
Frost
O-Town kept fans tuned to their radios on November 12 as they launched O2
on the airwaves. The boys were at Z100’s studios in New York to discuss
the album and perform “These Are The Days” and “All Or Nothing”
live. Z100 was so impressed with the interview and the live performance that
they re-aired both today. “These Are The Days” was number 2 on Z100’s
noon countdown.
Kerry Collins from Connecticut’s number one hit music station, KC101,
interviewed Jacob by phone. Jacob talked about the songs on the album and
his favorite track, “Craving,” Kerry also asked him about his recent
marriage to Janie.
O-Town were Carson Daly’s special guests on his radio show Carson
Daly’s Most Requested. Although it aired on November 12, the guys
actually taped the program with Carson on the day that they appeared on TRL.
The show is syndicated to over 100 markets. TATD is #7 on Carson Daly’s
Most Requested.
Of course, the highlight of the day’s activities was O2’s release
party held at the posh Lotus. Clive
lived up to his reputation for throwing some of the finest parties in the
industry. For now, you can catch a glimpse of how the guys looked last night
by checking out some shots at Wireimage.
Check out Katrillion’s story and photos here.
We will have the full story and photos for you by the weekend.
