Even as they make their way across the country playing a string of sold-out concert dates, including two shows at the Warfield tonight and Monday, the members of a Backstreet Boys seem more baffled by their enduring popularity than anyone else.
Or as Nick Carter, 30, checking in from rehearsals just a few days before the launch of the tour, puts it: “We can’t believe that we still got it.”
The band (which also headlines the San Francisco Pride event at the Civic Center today) may have sold more than 76 million albums and lodged eight albums into the Top 10 over its 17-year career, but these haven’t exactly been boom times for the group that, alongside rivals ‘N SYNC, dominated the tail end of the ’90s music scene with weepy pop hits such as “Quit Playing Games With My Heart” and “I Want It That Way.”

These guys have not only outgrown their boy band status, but after 17 years in the business, the Backstreet Boys sound better than ever. What’s life like for four men living as Boys? And can they actually be as nice as they seem? Take a listen to their new songs and new stories on Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf. Thanks to Talk Stoop

Back in September of ’09, the Backstreet Boys returned with their latest album, This is Us. The album debuted at number nine on the Billboard album chart and has since fallen off, which is unfortunate because the track “Straight Through My Heart” is a fantastic song.
Here’s what the Boys have to say about their album and tour…
Howie Dorough says he’s proud of the record…
“It feels great, you know. We feel we put together a great body of work that really truly represents the Backstreet Boys, with our signature sound, with our pop melodies, our harmonies and a little bit of pop R&B, a little bit of Euro-electric kind of sound. And we feel like it’s one of our best bodies of work to date. It’s very reminiscent of the style of records that people knew back in the day, like the Millennium album, the Black and Blue album.”
And Nick Carter says there’s no place he would rather be than on tour…
“We’re definitely ready, especially to be on tour in the States. You get a chance to be on a bus and just travel the country and see the places that we’ve been traveling since we were… for 17 years… in the very beginning, because that’s where we started, was in the States, and that’s the country that we had to first get our feet on the ground and get our music out there, so touring here is definitely special to us.”
The Backstreet Boys’ This Is Us tour rolls into Broomfield, CO tonight – and the boys will be rolling through NYC on August 26th at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
