Can I get a little help from the popslashers on my f-list? I just need some basic background info on...well, pretty much any of the boybands, really. It's for a story, but it's not a popslash story per se. Um. Yeah. That's confusing, isn't it?

Let's try this. Questions I'd like to have answered:

1. Do any of the current crop of boybands have young-ish members. Say, early 20s?

a. If so, what's the basic background and make-up of that band. Members' names/ages/towns of origin, and when the band started, and maybe the names of anyone particularly important to their history -- agents, previous members who left, etc.

2. Is there anything I need to know about boyband concerts, etc., that's different from non-boyband band concerts, etc., so as to avoid making a fool of myself when including them in a story?

And if y'all are looking at me now and saying, "Dude, that's not how it works. You don't even know what you're asking," then maybe someone willing to walk me through a brief overview of the whole popslash thing can email or IM me and we can chat in more detail about what I'm trying to write. *g*

Thanks!
