MBLAQ - Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality (anyone care to explain the meaning of that?)

I thought that Top from Big Bang was taking it too far with his eyeliner/mascera, but these guys from MBLAQ are ridiculous.

Kind of a similar acronym to NAMBLA.

"MBLAQ is expected to bring a change to the K-pop music scene that has been dominated by girl groups. "

at least two of them look like they should be in a girl group..

Personally, I don't like calling them boy "bands" because that implies they actually make music.

>The group's debut album contains the single ``Oh Yeah'' and three other songs, including ``G.O.O.D Luv'' and ``My Dream.''

Quote: In an interview with KBS, lead singer IntRchangeAbull had a special message for his fans: "We are not dancers. We're musicians. We play our own instruments and make music for audiences who enjoy listening. The guys in the band have studied classic western bands such as The Who and Queen because we would also like to write classic tunes with original lyrics that people will remember years from now. We don't want to be one-album wonders on cheesy dance shows that look like Solid Gold."

And then I woke up...

Their first single.
Just another K-Pop dance song.

"We're musicians. We play our own instruments and make music for audiences who enjoy listening." Where are the intruments?
"The guys in the band have studied classic western bands such as The Who and Queen because we would also like to write classic tunes with original lyrics that people will remember years from now." Nothing original in the debut song.
"We don't want to be one-album wonders on cheesy dance shows that look like Solid Gold."Miracles can happen."

hahah woosh,

Anyway, after watching the video I just have a few points to make...
the name MBLAQ sounds suspiciously like saying "I'm black"
They wear prop pieces with African patterns in the video, and the lead singer wears MC Hammer pants, while they do a You can't touch this style dance move.


Oh, I just got footage of their latest video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNKO7E7BBKM
