THE CLICK FIVE LIVE: Almost forgot to post this, seeing as the concert was Friday night. But I thought the boys from Allston (actually now Watertown-based band) known as The Click Five were goofy fun. If I had paid closer attention to my MTV in the past year, I would've known that the cute blonde girl singing all of the lyrics to all of the songs, then hanging around after the show away from the groupies, was one Lucy Walsh. Ms. Lucy is the keyboardist and "backup" vocalist for Ashlee Simpson, so she had toured with The Click Five earlier this year. But Ms. Lucy also is keen on the boy band's lead singer, Eric Dill. At any rate, it'll be interesting to see how the band's career trajectory curves once the debut disc comes out Aug. 16. They'll be opening for the Backstreet Boys by then. Reminds me of how N Sync went out on tour several years ago with an opening act named Britney Spears. Stay tuned.
