Boyband was a short-lived New Zealand pop vocal group created in September 2006 from the winners of The Edge radio station's promotion to manufacture New Zealand's own boy band.
The Edge Radio station hosted auditions across the New Zealand to find the best males for the band.
The Kinks' classic "You Really Got Me" was chosen as the first single and was recorded in two days with vocal coaching provided by former TrueBliss-star Joe Cotton.
The single was backed with a cover of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me".
The boys then embarked on an intense two-week nationwide publicity tour stretching from Fat Boy's hometown of Bluff to Whangārei and on the week ending 8 October 2006 they debuted at #1 on the New Zealand music charts,[1][2][3] knocking Fergie's "London Bridge" from number one.
