“Muhahah. Remember Backstreet Boys? Well, we do and we brought one of the boys with us to DK to perform New Tomorrow on this Saturday! Can a rockband do duet with a world-famous boyband singer? – YES THEY CAN, and we LOVE it ” -AFIL

On Saturday, just before the winner of this year’s Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is announced, A Friend in London will be performing ‘New Tomorrow‘ and…

…Howie D of Backstreet Boys will be joining them on stage!

“In A Friend In London we like to break with the norms for what a rockband do. Howie D. is a part of one of the world’s largest pop phenomenon, and that I as a little singer from Stevns will be singing with someone from Backstreet Boys, that is absolutely crazy and we love it“, Tim Schou of AFIL says to DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation).

Tim also adds that he hopes this special version of ‘New Tomorrow’ will appear on their debut album, expected to release this spring.

The 2012 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is this Saturday, Jan 21st 2012, at the Gigantium in Aalborg. Eurovision fans can watch the live webcast of this show on DR1, or on its official website.

Did you miss The New Cities yesterday in Montreal? They had an acoustic performance at the Amnesia store in Place Montreal-Trust shopping mall, downtown Montreal.

It was such a fun and unique opportunity to see them perform like that! If you’d like to relive it… A recording of TNC performing THE HYPE is now on YouTube!

It was a fun event on a chilly evening! If you enjoyed that performance, their LAST show for the Kill the Lights tour is TOMORROW, Drummondville QC! Kamakazi and Amtrio will be there too! Get your tickets at the door or online!!! Full details on the event page.

“Hey All! We’re excited to share our Christmas song “Santa Croche” for FREE on NRJ! We loved working with Les Grandes Gueules on this project and we’re really happy with how it turned out! Download it here.” -TNC

which translates to… The New Cities and Les Grandes Gueules (of NRJ) are offering you the Christmas song “Santa Croche” FREE! (Get it there <——–)

It’s a funny parody of Christmas classic, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” For full lyrics and the song, you could see it here (below), en français. Enjoy!
