The Huckapoo juggernaut rolls on
Apparently selling entertainment product to young tastemakers by catching them at their most captive and entertainment-starved moment really works!
Young Kevin Mah experienced the Camplified tour this summer and is now -- like all of us -- totally in love with Huckapoo!!! lol! (Warning: opening Kevin's home page launches a sound file.... of a Huckapoo song).
Kevin took the picture above, as well as this one (check the delish knee-highs on Twig), and this, this, this, this, and this (looks like Lindsay is on the verge of growth spurt worthy of her namesake). [Update: The unexpected traffic seems to have killed Kevin's Web site. Sorry, dude.]
On his home page Kevin also has a picture of him and the boys posing with the Hucksters. It looks like Joey has her arm around him and he captions it, "I'm loved by Lindsay," so apparently the girls are not shy about revealing their True Names (Fools! That's just asking to have your powers stolen by an evil wizard).
I had hoped that access to the girls' pre-band names would lead the way to all sorts of exciting new information about their mysterious selves, but all I could find is that JoLindsay had a small role in the Broadway version of Ragtime and that BriTwiggy was in a NYC production of Free to Be, You and Me along with a Jennifer Lahm. I assume that's a sister; perhaps a younger one who can replace her in Huckapoo when she ages out, just like they used to do with Menudo. [MAJOR update after the jump]
Update: The Times had Angel Sparks' secret identity spelled wrong!! It's Britney-with-one-T and here she is two years ago winning the half-time contest at the Knicks Kids Day.
For comparison, here she is all grown up. Speaking of which, the NBA Kids correspondent says Angel was 13 in March, 2002. The New York Times has her as 14 in August 2004. Either someone got mixed up or a certain naughty Huckapoodle is lying about her age already. It just so happens that the Functional Ambivalent just asked me if a countdown clock is in order. Now we see it will do us no good. Like Zeno's arrow, Huckapoo will constantly be approaching 18, but never actually get there.
Revealed: the Lost Huckapoo. Is "Rachel" the Pete Best of Huckapoo? The hottie in this photo appears on a page of modeling school graduates with the caption "Congratulations on the Huckapoo Callback!" from which I infer that -- brace yourself -- the band is an artificial creation of talent scouts who cast members based largely on their looks, and that Rachel here was almost, I'd guess, PJ.

I hear the Huckapoos were all up in arms, asking their parents what Brit Brit was referring to in her latest interview....

Holy friken crap Huckapoo sucks!!!!!!!!!! not only do they suck, they suck major ass!!!!! Most people call them an upcoming girl band, but NEWS FLASH!!! THEY'RE NOT A BAND! A BAND IS WHERE PEOPLE PLAY ACTUAL INSTRUMENTS!!!!! THEY just sing and dance like teenyboppers! and like it has been said twice before...you consider them to be music? If you do, then you dont know real music.
